Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs
Cons:None so far.
Pros:* Good temps* Very easy to mount on 775* Comes with a backplate* Good options for barbs* Extremely snug fit with 7/16th tubing, ZERO leaks Comment:
I bought this as my first cpu waterblock, and I've been using it in conjunction with the Swiftech chipset cooler. Its a very good combination, and so far, I can't seem to find anything wrong with either of them. Great product, would buy again. |

Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs
Cons:-doesn't preform quite as well as some of the more expensive blocks-plastic barbs
Pros:-looks great-performs quite well-easy to install-lots of extras included - fittings, hose clamps, extra oring to bow the base Comment:
Looks great, preforms quite well - keeps my e3110 oc'd about 46 degrees loaded, easy to install and lots of extras included in the box. Doesn't perform quite as well as some of the more expensive blocks, but it definetely does the job. |

Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs
Cons:Doesn't perform as well as some other blocks
Pros:Looks great real shiny, performs quite well, good price. Can be bowed for a little bit of extra performance Comment:
I bought this with my loop to cool my overclocked E6300 and it works great with the rest of my loop (HW Labs BIX240 > D5 Vario > T-Line > Apogee GT > back to BIX240). The shiny retention plate or whatever looks real nice in my case.It's a great price too and it can be "bowed" for that extra little bit of performance. Not as good as some other blocks but then again much cheaper. |

Cons:None!
Pros:-Very effective-Nice looking -Easy to install -Not expensive Comment:
I have this waterblock since the last 2 months and I can't ask for a better one. It keeps my 6000+ OC to 3.51GHz under 40 degrees full load even with 2 water cooled graphic cards! It's not expensive and very nice looking. It comes with many sets of different barbs. 5 stars! |

Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs

Cons:The soft plastic bards are too soft. You really have to be careful when you tighten them up
Pros:This is what a water block should be. Easy and painless to install and it looks killer in the case. Comment:
With this block you really can't be disappointed, it does everything it is designed to do. The price is ok and the looks are great. I look forward to doing another project with these again. |

Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs
Cons:-Size of mounting plate
Pros:-Good flow-Very versatile mounting plate-Looks nice Comment:
This product allows for great flow and looks really nice with some lights in your case. The install was relatively easy just as it should be. The main issue is because of its very versatile mounting plate being so large it can sometimes require some modifications to it to fit around other components on your motherboard. All together a very good product for a good price. |

Swiftech APOGEE GT S478/LGA775/S754/S940/S939/AM2 3/8IN & 1/2IN &1/4IN Barbs
Cons:NONE Absolutely None!
Pros:Man this thing rocks, no leaks, and amazing temps, i have my core 2 duo e4300 at 3.2GHZ with 1.5 Volts, and my temps dont get above 40 celcius unless im in a hardcore gaming session, and most of that prolly comes from my friggin 8800 ultra Comment:

I changed the block from the stock one on my Kandalf LCS and my temps dropped by about 8°C. Needless to say I am very satisfied, except I much prefer higher quality compression fittings, overall they improve my confidence in my wc setup.There are many other blocks that outperform this one at similar prices so it is not that great a purchase overall.
