Swiftech APOGEE Universal CPU Waterblock Review

PCApex have a new review up on a CPU waterblock from Swiftech named the Apogee
When Swiftech acquired Stew Forster's design for the Storm cpu block, they immediately had a very high performance block in their stable. But at a cost, the Storm is a rather expensive block to manufacture with all the intricate machining required. The average price is still around $80 and can be found listed as high as $129 (ack!). The Storm also requires a more expensive pump to operate at peak efficiency. Plus, impingement style blocks such as the Storm are not always the best choice for use with multiple block applications. In an effort to cut costs and still produce a block that could cool the current crop of larger die and dual core processors, Swiftech developed the Apogee.
