A nice little article I threw together at LiquidNinjas for those interest in a little water cooled GPU action:
Swiftech Quiet Power MCW40 GPU Water Block Upgrade (http://www.liquidninjas.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=13) .

Enjoy :)

Thanks for kudos guys :)

I'll certainly be interested in your results with the pelt version OPP. I am particularly interested in how your water temps affect the performance of the MCW40-T. I'm going to be swapping both the MCW462-U and MCW40 for the pelt versions very soon for my next QP upgrade article. Your results will give me a guide post of sorts.

I look forward to your review:)

I sort of regret now not bolting a pelt up to my GF4 before gluing everything down hehe :) I saw that cold plate thing in the other forum...looks wicked. I hope it works with 3.2mm thick pelts :) I just happen to have another 172w pelt I could put there :)

Now I just need a new card to cool! I havent even voltage modded my 4600 yet. Its an A2 core...how depressing. Its what I get for being first in line to get one :)

Mike, I really cant wait to see how that little swifty does against the dangerden unit.

Opp, would love to see that review.

Nothing wrong with A2 cores...I've had 2 out of 5 of my cards with A2...and does 384Mhz at 1.99v sound too shabby on chilled coolant?? ;)

Cons:

Requires 3/8" OD tubing

May not fit all graphics cards



hehe, I did some major surgery to my MCW40, first I removed all the inner and outer fittings and 'O' rings, then I machined out the 1/4"-3/8" channel(the channel inside the block) and enlarged them to 1/2"

Then I took some 1/2" brass fittings and Jbwelded them in place and now the MCW40 I have works well in my 1/2" system. ;)

I did like your review though, it was the best MCW40 I have read to date :)
