Just curious if the ati 4850 is compatible w/ the mcw60.
Also any news of a dtek uni sink like product being released for the 4800 series? Or any suggestions on some heatsinks to use for the card?

why not the new D-tek block?

I have the MCW60 with the A2900 plate and fit perfect.
1. does the 2900 plate come with it?Quote:

1. It doesn´t come with it, but you can buy it for 6$Quote:

3. I think it has the same hole position as the 4850 but I´m not sure.
http://translate.google.com/translat...sl=zh-CN&tl=en heres a review of the 4870. pics of it as well.
I just installed mcw60 to 4850. It matchs perfectly.
Did you have to use the A2900 plate?Quote:

And any adaptors or mods that were needed to make them fit. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge with any of these yet?
From what I've been reading, the 3850 and 4850 use like the exact same layout.
What I don't know is if the 3850 required some special mounting plate in order for the mcw60 to fit =/
From swiftech's site:
I guess the layout for the 2900 series were much diff than the 3800 series.Quote:
The MCW60 in stock configuration is fully compatible with ATI®'s new 3800 Series graphics cards (shown above with Sapphire Radeon HD 3850).
The MCW60 is shown above with ATI®'s 2900XT. The optional A2900 adapter kit is required for installation with this card.
Thanks for all your input :) Saved myself $6 + s/h
hopefully the 48xx use the same as 3800s though.Quote:

Yeah I meant the ones around the GPU so GPU only blocks should be fine.
I have 2x4850 cards and need to WC them. Should I go with MCW60s or something else?
I was eyeing the D-Tek GFX 2, but expensive compared to what I can nail for used MCW60s...

Yes it fits. I sold a pair of them to a friend, and we verified that they fit before he took them. It's actually a Perfect fit.
I don't know if a d-tek unisink like product will be released, but I am fairly sure we will be seeing an "iandh" ramsink like product for the 4850 in about a week. ;)Quote:

here is my mcw-60 installed on 4870 (might as well be a 4850), its voltmodded too :)

I have two 4850s en route.......I'm really excited to see what these cards can do under a high end water loop. Any results from you guys running them on the MCW60? I'm going to use the Swiftech copper BGA RAMsinks on the memory and VRMs along with a few 120mm fans in the same fashion as my 2900XT setup. The VRMs get HOT with overvoltage....
Nice idea how you modded your card, but hey, RMA and resell value took a bad kick :DQuote:

well if ive already voltmodded the thing there aint much sense in saving the stock cooler ;)
I don't suppose you have a revised timetable on these, do you? I checked the usual stores and haven't seen them up for sale yet.Quote:

i left the rubber, my card it's runing cool, 30ºC GPU load. but i'm having strange stability issues, 3dmark 01 e 06(haven't tried others) strangely crashes during runs. tried different drivers with same results, and in any case games are running fine
i suspect of the backplate rubber. anyone confirm?

tried card's stock backplate without success, mcw60 screws dont match
Maybe VRM overheating issues like with the 4870?
i have heatsinks on mosfets, temperature is not an issue, i guess
ati tool doesn't even start
tested with rthdribl and furmark, they're ok. games are also running fine

Use stock "backplate" that came with the card instead. I'm currently using it with MCW-60 and it works perfectly :)
You should get some plastic/paper spacers [~1,5mm] between stock backplate and pcb.
Promised picture
i've remounted the WB using stock blackplate and zalman's Rubber Rings
http://www.zalman.co.kr/images/produ...C-ZV9_img4.jpg
used two on each screw
the problem persisted, 3dmark = crash during runs
so i remembered of checking manually pcb components
memory heatsinks were very hot to the touch, despite the temperatures displayed on gpu-z
solved the problem by using a fan blowing to the card
strangely the temperatures remained almost the same
