Swiftech unveils MCR Drive Heat Exchangers

[gabe]

We are proud to introduce a totally new concept in the world of liquid cooling components: the patent pending MCR Drive™series of heat exchangers.

Built around the ubiquitous MCP350 pump and MCR QP radiators, the MCR Drive™ heat exchanger combines radiator, pump and reservoir into a single compact unit that simplifies installation, improves performance and reliability by shortening the flow path and reducing the number of connections, and provides a future-proof solution to users.





Product introduction

[WhiteFireDragon]

nice concept and great product, although i'm a little sketchy to buy another swiftech product

[DarthBeavis]

Swiftech makes fine products. Thanks for focusing on innovation Gabe! Keep them coming!

[biggatomic]

damn wish i knew these were coming out before i just brought 2 stacks.

[Dude_Person]

This looks handy for a compact build. Good stuff.

Why's that? Never been anything but please with swiftech goods myself.

Looks like a great idea and an easy way to get into watercooling. Any time frame on a release date?

We are shipping to the channels now. This will be available on the street next week.

I forgot to add that two of these could be installed in series for a dual rad dual pump system: in a cosmos s for example, you could have the MCR220 Drive in front bolted to the hard drive cage, and the MCR320 Drive installed up top

Both inlet and outlet are G1/4 compatible. The unit accepts 1/2" and 3/8" barbs.

NICE!

i think this is what u told me on PMS.

Gabe quick question... what the range of mounts we can use on this?

I mean if we had it vertical i see no problems, but if you had it horizontal, wouldn't you run into bleeding issues?

Have you tried the system sideways?

[zalbard]

Very interesting concept, indeed.
Going to need more pics, though, hope someone is going to buy these shortly. Or test!

[Petra]

Nice--you got this one to market pretty fast. Good job

[ChielScape]

whats next? MCRES Drive? and then? tubing drive? MCP drive*?

*yo dawg, i heard you like pumps.

seriously gabe, i like how you try to think outside of the box but...

pump inlet hole...whats the id?





thanks

[Boulard83]

Great !

NIce looking compact solution.

[Sadasius]

Geez that is awesome stuff. Great for a quick setup for sure. Damn all the innovation lately is making me drool with all the possibilities.

[StAndrew]

Such a simple idea . To echo an above request, what are the limitations in regard to the orientation?

[gabe]

= current MCP350's = 7mm

[StAndrew]

Just to clarify, dose it come with the pump or is that sold separately?

[Devil_Dog]

What's the MSRP for these?

[zanzabar]

dose this use the same weak design as the stock 35x or dose it have the improvements of the aftermarket tops

[Dude_Person]

Just to clarify, dose it come with the pump or is that sold separately?

There are two versions of each.

MCR220-DRIVE-B
MCR220-DRIVE
MCR320-DRIVE-B
MCR320-DRIVE

The "-B" means without pump.

Why thank you..ummm Dude Person with interesting moustache!

[jcool]

This would fit perfectly into a LianLi V351

[Vapor]

I love it...further propagating the "two-piece" form factor from the H20-x20 Compact, just making it more flexible! Res/rad/pump-all-in-one + any block = only two pieces of tubing necessary + 1 piece of tubing for each additional block.

dose this use the same weak design as the stock 35x or dose it have the improvements of the aftermarket tops

It seems to have a top inlet, which is the biggest single improvement you can make, AFAIK.
