Swiftech MCW60-R VGA cooler
IntroductionThe MCW60™ VGA waterblock is a next generation liquid cooling solution for high-end graphics processors. It evolves from the award winning MCW55 by receiving the same base plate technology as the Apogee water-block for enhanced heat dissipation, and a redesigned injection molded housing for universal compatibility with all liquid cooling systems.
Features and benefits at a glance| Versatility | VGA compatibility: the improved mounting system provides compatibility with all ATI® Radeon® and most nVidia® GeForce® graphics adapters (see compatibility section for details). |
|---|---|
| Water-cooling system compatibility: The water-block ships with 1/2" and 3/8" barbs in the US, and an extra pair of 1/4" fittings for Europe, guaranteeing compatibility with any liquid cooling circuit. | |
| 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 (see technical note on Fittings Compatibility) | |
| Performance Model |
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. |
| Water-block Performance | The MCW60 waterblock inherits all its thermal and hydraulic characteristics from the Apogee CPU water-block, in particular the 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 2°C 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. | |
| Memory performance | Greater thermal efficiency is obtained thanks to the superior mechanical joint afforded by individual heatsinks compared to monolithic memory cooling solutions. |
| This MCW60 is not shipped with (8) MC14 BGA Ramsinks Please order separately. | |
| Reliability | The housing is injection molded from POM (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 . | |
| Cosmetic Appeal | In its black and chrome trim, the MCW60 VGA cooler is a perfect match to complement the Apogee CPU cooler, and the MCW30 Chipset cooler. |
| Works with G80 | The G80 adapter kit is used to replace the standard MCW60 hold-down plate and allows installation with GeForce 8000 series Video Cards. The G80 Adapter kit is included with this block. |
| Lower cost of ownership | The injection molded water-block housing results in economies of scale, whereas the individual memory Ramsinks provide significant material savings compared to monolithic solutions. Cost of ownership is thus reduced by up to 50% compared to monolithic solutions, with superior performance where it really counts, and complete freedom in terms of graphics cards upgradeability. |
