The H220 CPU cooler is an All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooling system focused on low to inaudible operating noise and thermal performance that truly rivals that of custom kits. The product is compatible with most cases supporting dual 120mm or larger radiators. It comes factory pre-filled, completely plug-and-play for installation, and is maintenance-free during its 3 year warranty period.

The H220 is the result of 3 years of research and development, and it was designed to bridge the gap between entry level All-In-One and custom-built DIY liquid cooling systems. It differentiates itself from other AIO's by its ability to support additional liquid cooled components such as graphics cards, chipset, and/or additional radiator(s) just like a custom-built system.

Both the pump and the fans are PWM compliant devices, allowing the H220 to be recognized and speed-controlled by the motherboard depending on CPU temperature like any standard CPU cooler. As a bonus, the system includes a PWM splitter allowing connection of up to 8 PWM devices which can then be controlled as one by the motherboard.

EXPANSION NOTE ABOUT THE H220X

The bleed screw had to be made out of a fairly soft material to prevent damage to the acrylic window. This screw should be unscrewed a little to allow for air to bleed out when the kit is being refilled after expansion. Due to the material though users need to be very careful and treat the screw delicately when unscrewing it and screwing it back in. Let me know if there will be any issue to adding this in the OP for the H220-X.

THE SHAVING COME FROM TAPING THE BLEED-SCREW HOLE. IF YOU DO SEE ONE, THEN JUST CONTACT US, AND WE'LL EITHER REPLACE YOUR KIT, OR WE WILL SEND YOU COOLANT SO YOU CAN EMPTY IT AND REFILL IT AT YOUR CHOICE - THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN ON THE NEXT PRODUCTION BATCH SINCE WE HAVE ALERTED OUR PRODUCTION CREW.

BACK TO THIS LITTLE PURGE SCREW: WE ARE ALREADY WORKING TO REPLACE IT WITH AN INJECTION MOLDED NYLON - IT WILL TAKE A MONTH BEFORE WE GET IT DONE - MEANWHILE PLEASE GO EASY WITH THIS LITTLE GUY - TIGHTEN FINGER TIGHT, AND THEN FINISH WITH A
G E N T L E LOCK USING A SMALL FLAT SCREW DRIVER - WE WILL ALSO ADD A WARNING LABEL ON THIS SCREW EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. final note: of course if you break one just let us know, and we'll send you replacement immediately.

NOTICE: It is HIGHLY recommended that you use the included PWM splitter to power your pump, by plugging the pump into channel one and hooking up both the molex/SATA plug and the PWM fan header, EVEN IF the only device you plan to modulate via PWM is the pump itself. More than just an accessory, the splitter is a fail-safe, guaranteeing that the pump always receives the necessary 12v, regardless of fan header settings, as anything less can and will, in an unknown amount of time, damage the pump. Furthermore, it is recommended that you do the same for any other PWM devices you plan to run as well, so that they too receive the necessary 12v constant straight from the PSU. If you cannot modulate the speed of the devices plugged in, in this fashion, then it's either a fan header, motherboard, or BIOS setting issue, or in rare case, the splitter itself.

Known Motherboard incompatibility issues
-Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z AMD 990FX Motherboard - Interference with VR Heatsinks I've been told this can be remedied by sliding the block under the heatsink.
-ASRock Z77E-ITX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard - Interference with RAM & VGA slots
-ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS Dual LGA 2011 Intel C602 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 SSI EEB Intel Motherboard - Interference with Ram slots closest to CPU sockets - Can only use outer RAM slots.

BACKPLATE INSTALLATION HELP

Here's what I found to be the easiest method: BEFORE you remove the plastic cover on the copper and put the TIM on, install the cooler so that the stickies on the backplate seat to the motherboard, then remove the H220 and plastic and install as normal. Alternatively, if you have a backplate that fits your mobo from a previous cooler, test it to see if the H220 screws into it, which 95% of the time it will. If it does, you can use it if you prefer (E.G. Corsair Hxx backplates).

IMPORTANT SERVICE ANOUNCEMENT

"Here at Swiftech what we've been able to determine is that most of the noise that comes from the pump is due to an air bubble getting trapped in it. Here are the steps to remove this air bubble.

First, remove your radiator from your case and gently shake it. You'll need to hold it above the pump in order to do this properly. You'll also want your pump running while you're doing this.

Next, gently tilt your case from side to side and from back to front to help dislodge any remaining air bubbles. You may need to do this for a few minutes to get your pump to quiet down.

If the previous step was still not successful you may need to gently squeeze the tubing above the fittings on either side of your pump. Do this very gently so that you don't end up putting unnecessary pressure on your barb fitting elbows. This should finally dislodge any remaining air bubbles trapped in your pump.

These procedures can take several minutes to almost half an hour or more before your pump will push out the stubborn air bubble and quiet down. Once this has occurred you can then just open the fill port cap on your radiator and top off your radiator with a little distilled water."

. I may be able to help you troubleshoot. I used to have a Maelstrom as well. Did you buy the unit that's designed to hold a pump? They make a few variations, and thr one I had wasn't designed to hold a pump, and yours from what I can see looks identical to it. Also, the ones that do hold a pump likely only holdthe MCP35X, so you would need a 35X top for your 350. But that last part I'm not 100% sure about.

Thinking about buying one and expand it with another radiator. (Later expand to GFX WC) But I could use some help to that, since this will be my "first" actually WB.

I will place the H220 rad in the front with push/pull configuration & the other one should be placed at the top in my FD Arc mini. But the radiator shouldn't be bigger than a Swiftech Rad or H100, because I'm worried that it might interfere with my RAM's.
So i'm thinking about getting a HW-Labs Black Ice - GTS Lite 240 in push/pull also, but would it gain more if I choosed to get a bigger rad and only do pull or push instead of both?

Also I would need some fittings for the new rad? As told I will place it at the top but which fittings to choose? The fittings should turn against the 5,25bay because there's the space to get the tubes routed good.
Also which tubes do I need to get it all working together and with 2 rads I'm gonna need some coolant can you guys recommend something?

Currently I'm having 4x Akasa Apache fans but should I change them to something else?

Hope you guys can help me out a little bit.

If by lapped, you mean a nice shiny reflective surface, then yes. If you mean lapped as in flat, then no. Their coldplate, like many manufactures today, assumes your IHS is concave so the surface of the H220 is slightly convex.

I went with another MCR-220-QP for my loop, for the second rad. I got the HydrX coolant concentrate, and I am buying some distilled water locally. For this system you want to get 3/8 ID / 5/8 OD fittings, you can get compression, or barb whichever your preference. I got some of this tubing here.

I'm curious to know if they stealth GT thin rad push pull would be better than the MCR-220-QP, I went with swiftech just to keep things consistent in my prodigy. Let us know how it goes for you.
