Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:Can be difficult to get the pump mounting screws to line up with their threaded sockets in the installation process. They flop around and you will want a second pair of hands. I wound up customizing the mount with some long screws, washers and nuts from the hardware store in such away as to make the screws stick up through the motherboard in a rigid way. Now there's no moving target. But this is a problem with all the AIO liquid coolers I have tried. The mounting of the pump to the motherboard is always awkward.
Pros:Cools significantly better than AIO units that have a two fan radiator. Pump quiet. Large diameter hoses. Fans quiet but move a lot of air. Heat plate has mirror finish. Mounting mechanism exerts good pressure. Comment:
I often recommend this unit to others, particularly the overclocking crowd. It's the only AIO liquid cooler that gives significantly lower temps than the best air coolers. |

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:Pump died after only 4 months of use. The mounting hardware for the AMD socket its bulky. On an ASUS Crosshair V Forumla-Z Mobo I had to remove a DIMM of RAM to make it fit.
Pros:Easy to install, looks good, has a very strong mounting system that works with original back plate. It's also expandable. Comment:
All in all when it worked it was great; kept my 8320 OC'ed to 4.2GHz cool even under load tests. Never saw it spike above 51C. I also replaced stock fans with Noctua NF-F12's. However the reliability of the pump is quite bad to fail only after 4 months of use. It had not been expanded to support the GPU. |

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:Fans are louder that I hoped.
Pros:Easy to install into Fractal Design case. Comment:
I installed this cooler into a Fractal Design Arc MIDI black case without a hitch. So far it appears to be working fine. I haven't had any problems with the pump as reported in the other reviews. The only thing that bugs me a bit is the fan noise which is a little louder that I had hoped. I might try to swap out the supplied fans with other low noise fans. |

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:The pump... CPU Fan fail warnings and will not start, Problem according to swiftech? Air bubble trapped inside pump... My thoughts is that the impeller seized and slapping the pump dislodged it and allowed it to spin again..
Pros:Works really well, does an excellent job of cooling Comment:
Thankful that I shutdown the PC that this is installed in since it's primarily a gaming rig only.This product does an excellent job of keeping your CPU very cool allowing for a high overclock when it works.Edit : Ok so I received an email from Swiftech stating that there may be an air bubble trapped inside the pump, Solution? Give the pump a firm slap on the top of it.After removing it from my CPU and motherboard I whacked it a couple times with a screwdriver and reinstalled it and it worked!As for how much longer this will function after being instructed to hit it with force.....

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:the little plastic decoration on top of the water block/pump came unglued and the system only lasted me around 6 month before the pump died
Pros:it kept my 4930k under 50C Comment:
I've never really had any luck with these water cooling all in one system. Once this h320 died I replaced it with and extra Zalman cooler I had which was cheaper, quieter and keeps my cpu just as cool but it was on a different cpu. In all I am unsatisfied and would not recommend it to anyone. |

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:Bad experience with shipping
Pros:Product Works flawlessly and better than expected. Comment:
The product itself exceeded my expectations. Had a few problems with shipping but it got here at last. Beware of the products size, not only will you need a case that supports a 360mm rad but you must also accommodate all of the extra tubing that comes pre attached. More tubing than necessary but i will probably switch it for some clear tubing i have lying around. |

Swiftech H320 Quiet Power PLUG-AND-PLAY Liquid Cooling System 4 Pin 3x 120mm Fans 3/8 Fitting
Cons:Large?
Pros:Cools very well. Very quiet. Comment:
I've been using this for 3 months now on my 3570k OC'd to 4.4Ghz. Probably an overkill for just CPU cooling but it perfectly fits to what I intended to do.I wanted a large radiator so that I can cool my cpu at very low fan speed for very silent PC and it does perfectly that.The temps never goes higher than 70, idles in low 30s. This is with very low RPM on Pull setup. Pump noise is barely audible.I was initially cooling same cpu/OC with Kuhler 60 (push/pull) and was experiencing same temp but with much higher fan speed/noise at load. If I run max speed on fans, temps stays in mid to high 50s during load. |
So the Swiftech H320 seemed to be one of the few triple-rad AIO liquid coolers, and were fairly highly recommended at the time (March 2014). Wish I would've posted my review sooner, might have stopped one or two of you from buying it and in the same boat as me.My first H320 arrived DOA, so I contacted Swiftech and they told me that I would have to go through NCIX for RMA services, as they don't deal with Canadian customers directly. So I went through that process with NCIX (getting stuck with a $50 sipping bill in the process) and got my second H320 delivered and installed.About 6 months later (Sept 2014) the pump started making grinding noises and failed. Went through the RMA process with NCIX again, this time they covered the shipping costs. I got my third H320 delivered and installed.About 6 months later (Feb 2015) the pump has just now started to fail again. I've reopened my ticket with NCIX to see if I can just exchange it out-right for something else.In summary, I do NOT recommend the H320. 3 failures in 1 year.
