Description:
The Apogee™ GTZ is Swiftech's new flagship
waterblock. While it shares the same name with its predecessors, it also leaps
beyond the GT and GTX performance charts thanks to an entirely new design that
pushes and refines both thermal and mechanical specifications to the limits of
today's technology.
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. Mechanical design of the copper
base plate is optimized for modern Intel® CPUs. 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 Parts:
