In the world of water-cooling, the Apogee™ CPU liquid cooling blocks and MCP350 pumps have become legends, proving themselves to be among the best available to the enthusiast and professional users alike.

Enter the patent pending Apogee™ Drive 350 self-powered series of water-blocks which consolidate both technologies into one convenient package capable of handling today and tomorrow's most extreme processors on the market.

With the 10 ft (over 3m) of head pressure produced by its motor, the Apogee™ Drive is also capable of sustaining high flow rates in complex loops where chipset(s), and single or dual VGA are also liquid cooled.

From a Technological Standpoint
The Apogee Drive combines the best characteristics of both products:

Features derived from the MCP350 pump

• Small form factor
• High Reliability
• High head pressure
• Quiet operations

Features derived from the Apogee™ water-block

• Low thermal impedance
• Low pressure drop

From the User Standpoint
The Apogee Drive provides the following direct benefits:

• Extreme simplicity of installation
• True High Performance characteristics
• Substantial cost savings

Internal structure:
The CNC machined C110 copper base plate is at the heart of Apogee™ Drive thermal efficiency. Designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics, the Patent Pending Diamond Pin Matrix is optimized to increase wet surface area, coolant velocity, while minimizing pressure drop.

• Patent Pending Diamond Pin Matrix Copper base plate identical to that of the Apogee™ GT
• The patent pending housings are injection molded for mass production and economies of scale

This is my first liquid cooler and I was expecting it to be much more difficult. I was glad to find that this wasn''t the case. The Apogee drive was easy to install and dropped the temps on everything in my case by about 3 to 5 degrees.
