Swiftech MCW80 Extreme Performance GPU Waterblock

The Swiftech MCW80 Extreme Performance GPU Waterblock is designed to cool today's high-end video cards. It uses an advanced 0.25mm pin matrix (similar to the award-winning Apogee XT CPU water-block) capable of dissipating the highest heat loads (hundreds of watts) with extraordinary efficiency even at low to moderate flow rates.

In addition to superior GPU cooling compared to any other solution on the market, the MCW80 is also future proof since it retains the same form factor as its predecessor the MCW60. As such it is compatible with most reference design graphic cards (as well as many non reference models), thanks to a host of adapter brackets legacy of the MCW60. New mounting brackets will be available on an on-going basis.

Housing	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.
• MC14 BGA RAM Sinks - All copper BGA RAM sinks. One packet includes 8 ram sinks.
• Full Coverage Heatsinks - Select a full coverage heatsink for cooling the BGA memory and mosfets on your video card.
  • 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.
  • GTX285 P892 Full Coverage Heatsink - Compatible with the Nvidia GeForce GTX285 P892 Graphic Cards
  • HD5850-HS Full Coverage Heatsink  - Compatible with the ATI HD5850 video cards
  • HD5870-HS Full Coverage Heatsink - Compatible with the ATI HD5870 video cards

Features

• Swifteh MCW80 High Performance VGA/GPU Waterblock
• Compatible with Swiftech VGA Full Coverage Heatsinks and MC14 BGA Coolers
• Compatibility with all ATI Radeon and most nVidia GeForce (see below) graphics cards
• Includes 1/2" barbs for use with 1/2" ID tubing. (optional fittings above)
• Includes GT200 Adapter Plate for Nvidia GTX2 cards for compatibility with the Nvidia GTX200 series GeForce Graphic Cards
• Low water-block profile allows installation with nVidia's SLI and ATI's CrossFire systems.
• The NPSM thread used in the MCW80 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.
• High performance 0.25mm Pin Matrix cold plate, proven for its thermal efficiency with today's high end CPUs.
• 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.
