Swiftech MCW60-R2 Extreme Duty VGA Water Block Revision 2

The MCW60-R2 VGA waterblock is a next generation liquid cooling solution for high-end graphics processors. The MCW60-R2 improves performance over the original MCW60 waterblock thanks mainly to it's new diamond pin base plate. This is the same base plate used in the Stealth VGA Cooler and Apogee GT. The MCW60 design is versatile and offers wide compatibility with video cards. See below for more details.

New Housing	Diamond Pin Matrix

Options

• MCW60-4870X2-CSK Screw Kit - Screws required to mount the MCW60(R) on an ATI HD 4870X2 Video Card.
• G80 Bracket - Compatible with the Nvidia 8000GTS, 8800 Ultra, 8800GTX,  Series Video Cards. This adapter is not required for the 8800GT version.
• The Swiftech GTX200 Full Coverage Heatsink. Add the GTX200 Full Cover Heatsink is designed to cool surface mount components (memory, voltage mosfets, I/O chip) on nVidia's Geforce GTX260 & GTX280 series graphic cards. The GTX200 Heatsink works with the MCW60 VGA water-block and allows for better cooling performance.
• The Swiftech Caldera 4870X2 Full Coverage Heatsink. The Swiftech Caldera Heatsink for AMD's HD4870X2 video cards is used with the MCW60 Water Block. The Caldera heatsink is designed to cool surface mount components (memory, voltage mosfets, I/O chip) on AMD reference series HD4870X2 graphic cards.
• MC14 BGA RAM Sinks - All copper BGA RAM sinks. One packet includes 8 ram sinks.

Features

• Compatibility with all ATI Radeon and most nVidia GeForce (including 8800 series - see below) graphics adapters
• Includes 1/2" and 3/8" barbs for use with 1/2" ID and 3/8" ID tubing
• Includes MCW-GT200 MCW60 Adapter Plate for Nvidia GTX2 cards is used with the MCW60 Water Block to make it compatible with the Nvidia GTX260 and GTX280 GeForce Graphic Cards
• Low water-block profile allows installation with nVidia's SLI and ATI's CrossFire systems.
  The NPSM thread used in the MCW60 is BSPP and G 1/4 fittings compatible
• The thermal performance model focuses extreme cooling where it is in fact the most needed: at the GPU level. This will afford better overclocks, and overall lower system temperature. Efficient and silent memory cooling is handled by using individual Ramsinks.
• Patent Pending Diamond Pin Matrix cold plate, proven for its thermal efficiency with today's high end CPUs.
• Thermal performance is improved by up to 2C compared to the previous MCW50 and 55 series thanks to the enhanced cold plate, and pressure drop is lower thus allowing better overall system flow rates.
• Industrial strength/Automotive grade housing made from Acetal Co-Polymer) resulting in complete reliability compared to machined Acrylic tops which tend to crack.
• All hydraulic joints (housing to cold-plate and fittings) use o-rings for complete reliability and leak-free operations.
• The mounting system includes a strong stiffening back-plate with a soft rubber center pad to prevent the circuit-board from bending .
• Includes tube of thermal grease.

If you want optimal performance we recommend the use of a high quality thermal compound such as Arctic Silver.
