PRESS RELEASE
Swiftech® introduces
new Apogee™ XT flagship waterblock.
“The ultimate cooling Machine™”
FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Long
Beach, CA – October 6, 2009 19:45 PM Pacific Standard Time - Rouchon
Industries, Inc. dba Swiftech® today announced the release of their new
flagship waterblock, the Apogee™ XT. The "XT" waterblock represents the
culmination of months of research and development marked by hundreds of hours of
competitive testing. The end result is a product that manages to surpass
everything that made its predecessor -the Apogee™ GTZ, one of the best
water-blocks in the world; a substantial increase in thermal performance,
sumptuous functional elegance, unique
convenience features for beginners and extreme users alike, all contribute to
place the new "XT" in a class of its own. Like its precursor, the Apogee™ XT thermal
design is primarily characterized by a pin matrix composed of 225 µm
(0.009") micro structures, and topographically mapped cold plate. However
both features have been considerably optimized to yield dominating results with
Intel® socket LGA 1156 and 1366 processors. The product is shipped with a tool
free retention mechanism which is adjustable to fit all Intel® Core™ Desktop
processors (*); support for AMD® and
Intel® server processors is expected to follow shortly. “We
focused on three areas: performance, appearance, and user-oriented features.
According to our competitive test results,
the Apogee™ XT thermal performance is currently unmatched; cosmetically,
I find it to be the most appealing product we have ever made; and finally, with
respect to user-oriented features, we
kept the exceptional mounting system of the GTZ, but made it even better, and we added support for
the increasingly popular compression fittings. Leading is constant innovation, but it is also listening to your
customers, and we did just that.”
said Gabriel Rouchon Swiftech's Chairman & CTA. The product is
being shipped to the distribution channels now.
MSRP:
$79.95
(*)
Socket LGA 1156 motherboard back-plate is not in stock at the time of release,
and will be mailed upon request free of charge. ETA for the part is
mid-october.
