Swiftech Apogee GTZ 775/ 1156/ 1366 CPU Block [SWIF-GTZ-UNI]

Thermal design of the cooling engine combines the benefits of direct coolant impingement over the CPU area with an entirely new copper base plate design which is primarily characterized by a pin matrix composed of 225 µm (0.009") micro structures. This results in a 20% improvement in thermal resistance compared to the Apogee™ GTX.

System flow Rate:
When the Apogee™ GTZ is integrated in an actual system, the hydraulic pressure drop remains well within the efficiency range of current high-pressure pumps such as the MCP350 or MCP655 as illustrated in the graph below:

Mechanical Design:
Mechanical design of the copper base plate is optimized for Intel® socket LGA 775 and 771. The assembly features a patent pending design characterized by a topographically mapped CPU contact area which results in a 75% and up to 300% improvement in TIM joint thermal resistance compared to the Apogee™ GT/GTX series. Other types of sockets such as AMD® socket F, AM2, and 940 as well as upcoming sockets similar in design to that of socket 775 may also benefit from the enhanced contact area.

Retention Mechanism:
An enhanced tool free retention system using thumb-nuts paired with a universal socket 775 motherboard back-plate guarantee high quality, safe and repeatable mounts.

Included:
• All Nuts, Bolts, Springs & Washers

Compatibility:
• Socket 775 (Intel® Socket LGA) via the 4-holes through the motherboard.
• Socket 1156 (Intel® Socket LGA) via the 4-holes through the motherboard.
• Socket 1366 i7 (Intel® Socket LGA) via the 4-holes through the motherboard.
