The Swiftech Apogee SKF is an updated CPU waterblock for Ryzen Threadripper processors, the optimized Apogee SKF features a larger cooling engine featuring and customization options.
Swiftech are proud to announce that they’ve just finished a ThreadRipper optimized Apogee SKF that features a larger cooling engine (with 30% more surface area) that is optimized for the multi-dies design of the new Ryzen Threadripper CPU’s. The pictures on this web page show the regular Apogee SKF that we released in June 2017 as reference for the looks and finishes. The animated render on this page does show the larger design of the body as well as the redesigned mounting mechanism for Socket SP3 and TR4. This retention mechanism allows for mounting in 2 possible orientations; its small footprint allows for all memory modules to be usable without any interference.
While the Apogee SKF is compatible with all current and upcoming CPU’s, the Apogee SKF-TR4 is only compatible with AMD’s SP3 and TR4 CPU’s. The Apogee SKF also features an entirely new cooling engine made of 125 micron (< 5 thousandth’s of an inch!) thick slotted fins! This new technology is at the very least one generation ahead of the competition and will be the foundation of Swiftech’s next generation CPU waterblocks. The Apogee SKF-TR4 has over 30% more surface area than the Apogee SKF thanks to a larger copper base plate that covers the entire surface of the IHS. Not relying on flow impingement, micro-flows are ideal cooling features for Multi-Dies CPU’s such as ThreadRipper.
The Apogee SKF-TR4 is fully compatible with Swiftech’s Addressable RGB Iris Technology and even ships with the Swiftech Iris-Eco controller. With 2 strips of RGB LED’s built into the waterblock the Apogee SKF will blend into any color theme build.
Heirloom Season 2 is featuring the new Apogee SKF ThreadRipper. This waterblock is optimized for AMD’s new ThreadRipper CPU’s – and because of its larger footprint the Apogee SKF-TR is ONLY compatible with AMD’s TR4 socket and CPU’s. With its new Heirlooms Series, Swiftech is bringing the community unique, personalized, high-performance, long-lasting products.
About Swiftech’s Heirlooms: Heirloom events will take place from time to time for select products and will offer the community unique opportunities to customize and personalize Swiftech products. This will allow our customers to create the most amazing builds, mods or gaming machines. These events will not be limited to CPU waterblocks but will also be created for other components such as GPU waterblocks, reservoirs, radiators, etc.
With so many options to choose from, Heirloom events will always be available via Pre-Orders and limited in quantities. The duration of Pre-Orders allow us to gather, sort and produce all orders – no matter which combination of top, cover plate and logo that have been chosen. Swiftech Heirlooms can and should be considered as collectors pieces. To reflect their uniqueness, each product is serialized and ships in a luxury wooden box.
Pre-orders are now open!
