No need to mess with the mount since shorter screws are on the way... so yeah, thanks for suggestion but I'll pass :DQuote:

I like mine enough to get a second one for a project I got tapped to do. Do you guys still have 775 backplates?
I understand you can't be specific, but is the date they go on sale no longer July?Quote:

Well I'll just buy straight from you guys so I don't have to wait on it getting to retailers. Thanks for the update!
Just thought I'd drop in and say hi and thanks again for the review sample - testing the apogee HD right now, 6th block on the test rig, although 2 need retesting due to suspect data. Only 11 more to go!
BTW the PWM fans you mentioned - will you be doing any 140mm fans? What I'd really like also is a fan that turns off at 20% PWM such that only the pump is (barely) running when there is no load. I already have a mora 3 140.9 on my workstation so it can run passively unless you're really thrashing the cpu.
The MCP35X2 is really making me love PWM!
Awesome Apogee Drive II in Action ! :)

So is Swiftech putting out a new bracket for the MCW82 to fit the GTX680 along with a new heat sink? The G200 seems to be slightly off and doesn't seem to fit quite right unless you leave the mounting screws loose.
Enjoying the MCW82-7900.
I have a question about it. Can I order an adapter kit to convert it to a flat surface for an NVIDIA video card?
Ok, so i messed around with my GTX680 and the MCW82 and the holes do align, but the black standoffs are to long. This was easily fixed by cutting them shorter. Temps went from low to mid 70's to 40-44c under water. Not too bad.
Not bad at all. Is that under load?Quote:

Yes, idle temps are low 30's. What was really interesting was that I was having issues overclocking the GTX680 on the air cooler, but now that it's under water I can push the card around 1289+ on the core and 3200 on the memory. I would really like either a full cover block or a Swiftech heat sink, but this would mainly be for looks since I am already getting great results.Quote:

Why don't you email Swiftech or open a ticket to ask directly?:confused: Do you have a old or new GPU?:confused: No mention of what GPU, they change all the time. Do you know that spacing for CPU and GPU screw holes are different?
What you aked has no specifics and we can't help you AT ALL. :shrug:
So your bump helped, you now know what you need to do.
Yes sure, we don't have a part number on the website but we can help you with it, just email us when you'll need the base plate.Quote:

Question for Swiftech:
Do you think any of Swiftech's full VGA heatsinks might match a 8800 GTX? I don't mind modding it a bit.
I'd rather use one of those than individual heatsinks.
I doubt it, the layout is very different. Plus the 8800GTX is an older model and it may not even be a reference design.
If you have the stock cooler for the 8800, I would try and mod that instead. Remove the copper insert to clear the MCW82, and use a fan to blow on the aluminum sink that takes care of the memory/mosfet.
I no longer have the stock cooler, the card has an Arctic Cooling aftermarket cooler. I think I'll just use it as it is until I can think of a better solution.
Thank for your answer Stephen :)
And again i find out about new but very interesting swiftech products from the shops. :/
There was MCP35X .. and tadaa - PWM D5! It's not as revolutionary as 35X was back then and it's launch might be a bit prespoiled by AC's D5 USB, in some ways imho more advanced, but i'm somewhat expecting Swiftech one winning with cheaper price between those two.
Set it and forget it!
