Cooling Apogee 2, how much can it push ?

[The6A]

Hey , I’ve looked online but can’t seem to find the info. How much can the apogee 2 by swiftech handle ? Could it do a dual 240 rad dual gpu + cpu block setup? If with Anyone with experience on this pump could weigh in I would appreciate it.

Thanks

17.5 lpm, I am currently using mine with 240mm rad CPU and GPU block and only have the pump at 50% and it cools extremely well. I have previously used it with 2 x 240mm rads CPU and GPU block and had no issues with flow.

What about noise levels? Does the flow rate adjust reasonably linearly with the RPMs? e.g.
1250 RPM = 4.86 LPM
2200 RPM = 8.55 LPM
3200 RPM = 12.4 LPM
4500 RPM = 17.5 LPM

I've been heavily considering this while looking at the SidearmD T1 and the new Sliger cases. However, I would really prefer to run it at 1250RPM - 2200RPM considering the audio testing on the Optimum Tech recent review.

Can you remove the heatsink on top to make it shorter to fit in other cases, assuming you have enough airflow to cool the pump?

Sorry I don't have a flow meter so I can't say for sure if it is linear with pump speed, I have mine running at 1800 - 2200 rpm and it is quiet and cooling is very good.

You could remove the heatsink but it isn't going to help, any fittings you use are going to be taller than the heatsink. I am using mine with Koolance low profile 90 degree adapters and height is under 66mm, fits in my Ghost S1 anyway.
