Bad Units/Quality control

Swiftech H360X3 Drive X3 3x120 mm AIO CPU Cooler
Swiftech H360X3 Drive X3 3x120 mm AIO CPU Cooler

Pros: Unique clear tubing and Mayhem coolant.

Cons: Loud Pump. Short cables on the pump. Quality control.

Overall Review: the X3 is pretty standout and different from other typical AIOs, as for that it attracted me. Unfortunately maybe i got unlucky and got two bad units. The first Unit's pump was making a high pitched grinding noise. The second unit came with 2 bad fans and the pump was very audible with loud vibrations and more audible than the fans at times, swiftech says it's normal but I've owned many AIOs and the x3 was at least 3x louder than any of them. The customer support isn't the best, i was told one thing then they said it was a mistake. At one point i went 2 weeks without a reply, but it seems to be a bit better now. The performance is also a tad bit worse than my Kraken X72 Which wouldn't make sense considering the copper rad, more fluid in the reservoir and stronger pump. Maybe i got unlucky with my Units but there seems to be a lack of quality control with the X3 lineup.
