Hello everyone! Out of idle curiosity, I'm wondering if any of the following Swiftech kits are compatible with AM4... their website isn't the most awesome but I also could just be blind. I'm considering a 360mm unit to go in the front of my Define S and pondering how much it could cost me, and the thought of a Swiftech AIO expandable unit (for a future GPU mayhap) intrigues me since their AIO units are effective and very space-efficient. Here are the kits I'm looking at:
Basically, the two H320-X2 kits should fit in the front of my Define S. The H2O-320 Elite kit will most likely fit in the front of my case, but I'm not sure if 1) there's an AM4 mounting kit for it and 2) if it's even worth the extra cost over either of the other 2 kits, since they're the newer, presumably better ones. Which is my gut feeling, that the newer kits are just better period and I shouldn't consider the older, more expensive Elite kit.
Also, don't we have a Swiftech rep on the site? I thought we did but I can't find him / her...
Thanks everyone! Your collective knowledge is appreciated!
After pondering this a little further, I believe if I go this route, I'll get the H320 X2 Prestige 360mm and then get the AM4 bracket kit to go with it. Now, if I was crazy, I'd fashion a 420mm to 360mm adapter so I could still use my Phanteks PH-F140XP fans. In all reality, I'd probably just get the PH F120MP fans for the rad. Thermalbench wasn't a huge fan of the E-Loop fans that came with it and I've been super impressed with my Phanteks fans.

If you are going to change the fans, no sense in spending the extra on the Prestige. Get the regular H320-X2, and put the savings toward Phanteks F120MP fans. I have GTs, eLoops, Noctuas of several varieties, etc in my closet....with F120MPs on my rad.

Yeah, I do like the fittings on the Prestige better, but I guess the only difference between the Prestige and non-Prestige is the fans and the fittings, huh?
In that case, I'd get the non-Prestige and the Phanteks F120MPs, then maybe some black tubing like EK's ZMT tubing and some fittings to go with it. I do wish the waterblock wasn't so dang shiny, I prefer an understated black for my components, cuz I'm boring.

FYI - EK ZMT runs slightly larger on the OD than other tubing. The Swiftech clamps don't close correctly on it, and I have yet to find compression fittings that aren't a real PITA to use with it except EK's fittings, and they have a tendency of backing out (loosening) because of the ZMT not giving at all. Tygon makes a similar tubing that is correct size - http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=33112&catid=864 - and doesn't have the annoyances of ZMT.

I was wondering about that! This is perfect, thank you!
