Good luck Turok! Swiftech is out to lunch on this one... They been out of stock since last month and had an estimate of end of March for new stock.
what!!!:brick:
I cant wait that long to start running my PC :(
I dont care the cost, Im getting the best of the best.
What do you recommend guys?
Read this post...
Estimate May or later
ok, im planning on getting the Monster core from Weapon :D
Will my 50z pump be ok with that huge rad., using the T res., and just cooling CPU for now?
With a monster core, you could probably benefit from getting a second 50z, or just getting an Iwaki MD20RZT.
well, I already made a backorder on CoolTechnica.com . Ill stay with this pump for now and when I get more money, Ill buy a GPU block and the best Iwaki or Blueline pump.Quote:

No, it's the best for the 50z with a big radiator though. If you get the iwaki, then I'd reccomend switching to an RBX or another flow loving waterblock. But with one 50z and a big radiator, the MCW6000 will outperform nearly every block out there.
Try Bigfoot Computers for the 6002-64 water block. I waited for a month an
half to get one...got it last week.
www.bigfootcomputers.com
It is on B/O on the site but maybe it wasn't updated. Emailed them to make
sure, good luck.
A bit expensive at $60 without S&H. I guess Ill wait until next month. If the block isnt anywere at that moment, then Ill use that site as my last optionQuote:

ok :D
I got my AX 50z and and all my other accessories. I have some questions regarding the pump:
1) When i was sleeving, I forgot to take a pic or record were the pins go.
Here is a pic afther sleeving. Are the cables at the right pins? Dont want to overvolt it by connecting the wrong pins.

2) My pump fell like 3.5" from the top of the HD bay on the bottom of the case and from there it fell to the bottom of the case.:shocked:
Its a small fall, but this thing is heavy, so I would like to know if it will end up DOA afther that? Dont think its enough to kill it, but I dont know how fragile this pump is.
3) Can I share the power with other hardware? (example: I have the CD-ROM sharing power with the front fans and then it hooks up with the PSU cable and that cable has 3 4pin connections, one if them is being udsed by the pump
just look at ur psu cables.. the red cable goes to hte yellow cable on the psu.. rememer red to yellow.. the black doesnt matter which of the two midle pins it goes into..
EnJoY, thanks a lot for the tube recommendation.:up:
This thing fits perfectly with my 1/2" fittings. :banana:
It grips very tight on the fitting. Looks like a safer solution.
Here are some picks showing the tube and my pump fitting:
This shows the diameters of both

Here is a pic with the tube about 2mm in

My build is alsmost done. Whats left is the CPU, GPU, Water Block, and the Weapon Monster core :D
Any word on the MCW 6002's yet?
No problem man, good to see it worked for you. :toast:
I went to www.swiftech.com and clicked on "were to buy" I found that they sell their stuff in Fry's too.
Has anyone from TX seen a MCW 6002 in Fry's?
Is this why Swiftech wont fabricate more blocks, because they want to get rid of the older blocks?
Everything else from Swiftech seems to be well in stock.
Got this on their website:

I would give Swiftech a call and find out whats up. When I called them last month, they told me the end of May. Here it is the end of April, with no blocks insight.
I was going to go with the same block. I placed my order then I recieved an email about out of stock. SO I just sent a deposit for silver for the Storm G5, Atleast right now I know my silver is at the machinist being produced.
Grant it it is much more expensive, but it is the best!
everyone agree?
Is the Storm G5 the best block for my solution? Better than the MCW 6002?
I need a block soon, so if there is something better than the MCW 6002, let me have it.
If its a bit more expensive, I dont care. I need a block now.
I will not wait until late May hopping they get it back in stock.
Is this a custom block?
Is it safe?
You are late for the G5, but G4's will be running soon. But I don't think you want to wait that long?
I would just go to this Site and order that block. Make sure you have them add the copper top when you order. Plus have them add the additional nozzles.
I dont know some of these materials and stuff in english:
Is brass the same thing as copper?
Whats Lucite, the acrilic?
Whats the extra O-ring?
It it that thing that goes between the top and the fitting?
What does it do?
What are the accelerator nuzzles?
In FrozenCPU.com I saw that they were flow reguletors, but how do they work?
Final questions would be:
Is this the best block for my 1/2" solution?
Will it kill flow? (going to use a 50z pmp)
1 Brass is just copper and zink
2 Don't get the lucite top, get copper.
3 The extra O ring is for a spare.
4 Yes
5 Stops leakage
6 You use them to fine tune your setup
No, your flow will be fine. You use the nozzles to fine tune your setup for best temps.
They don't have a copper top, only brass top and chrome brass top.
Found this chart.

So the LR Whitewater is the best?
Not even close...I don't know how you came to that conclusion. Since you can't get the Swiftech MCW6002, get the Danger Den TDX, they perform roughly the same with your flow.
