if i bought the mcw, can i add that D-TEC ram cooling on it. will it fit?

It will fit an 8800GTX for sure. I'm not sure about an 8800GTS.Originally Posted by mkalbaker

Cool, now I'm just trying to decide whether no not to go with and MCW/UNI or the Stealth.
I also read in another post on the forums that the Stealth is NOT restrictive as everyone thinks. In fact Gabe from Swiftech confirms this, just can't find the thread right this second.
The compatibility states only the GTX unfortunately.
Not sure about ease of modding.

Some quotes from Gabe at Swiftech.
performance is superior to the 60, just like the GT/GTX are superior to the early apogee. We 'll put together some comparative data here soon.What we have observed here are outstanding thermal characteristics in so far as the product ability to dissipate extremely high heat loads at low flow rates.
As to tagging the product as a "flow killer", I understand the concern which respect to overall system performance, and I can only respond with the facts at hand: In a test consisting of a quad running @ stock speed and cooled by a single MCR120 radiator, we observed a nominal 3C rise in processor Delta T (Core Temp to Air) by adding a Stealth cooled volt modded 8800 GTX in the loop.All I can say is what's important is overall system performance and stability. The block is a great tool for people into volt mods, I know it, we have data and 3DM 06 results to prove it. How it will integrate into your particular system with your particular goals is another story altogether.
It works great in my system, and my OC is sufficient to handle any game I use on this wonderful Gateway FPD2485W monitor I got a few weeks ago!
Eric (OPPainter) picked one up Friday to install on his GTS, thus replacing his trusted MCW60. He's probably busy overclocking with it right now..We have tested extensively with volt mods, and our results are embodied in a 20250 score in 3D Marks O6 here: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1873908
We also tested with a Quad and SLI and (1) MCR120 and got a 17649 score here: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=2054649
Both the MCW-60 and Stealth will require at least some airflow over the card to cool the passive components (RAM/Vregs for MCW-60 and Vregs for Stealth). However, with that factored in, all of these solutions are going to perform admirably.
I think the key question should be around pressure drop since this will directly affect the entire loop. We need validated results on the Stealth and some EK results as well before we can begin to agree on what's better.
Am I missing something here?:

My GTXs scored higher on Air than his volt modded cards on water which got 17649?
Or is that a single card?

I believe the first score (20250) by Oppainter is with ONE volt modded 8800GTX. The other score (17649) looks to be a SLI setup.
So what is the consensus on the D-tek unisink? I have 2x Apogees 1U on my GTXs and the dreadfull MC14s. I want to volt mod my cards but only at the thought of having those MC14s dropping off keeps me away from even removing my cards from their slots. It was a pain to make them stick in the first place.
I need an easy to fit RAM cooling solution for my GTXs.
Hardware :Asus Rampage Extreme, 4870X2 (Crossfire X) EK FC Blocks, CPU Q9550@490FSB/4,180Ghz, RAM 4GB DDR3, Auzentech Prelude X-fi,PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower 1200 Watt,
3 Loops with TFCs360 and a PA.120.2/DDCs.
Some people say there are some clearance issues with the Uni-Sink and that you need to make an adapter of some sort but please don't take my word for it just look through some more threads, this is what I have read anyhow. As for those dreaded MC14's take a look here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=149022
Swiftech is now supplying different tape which is supposed to fix the current issues that they had.
I got 17664 with 2 x GTX No mods and on Air....
