Yes.

Well for some money is not an issue I guess...
By the way GDDR3 is rated for 125 degrees celsius...

Because it's the better approach and you can ALWAYS ebay the old parts no problem.

Full coverage blocks mean less heat inside the case, less fan noise and lower ram temperatures.

Compare that pressure drop graph to the one for the original Fuzion GPU block. HALF the pressure drop? Sweet!

And if your caseflow is so bad that regular heatsinked V-RAM is causing heat problems, you've got serious airflow problems, and probably shouldn't be relying on a fullcover wateblock to somehow compensate.

**santiagodraco** · 06-20-2008, 04:27 PM

Not wanting to have to run fans to keep memory sinks cool is not the same as saying you have "serious airflow problems" or that you are "compensating" by using a full coverage block.

A well designed full coverage block will give great GPU temps AND keep the ram cool without having any case flow whatsoever... that's not compensating that's just smart cooling.

Not everyone want's to run a bunch of fans in their PCs. Many of us want to utilize water cooling for more than just overclocking, like reducing system noise as well, for which things like full coverage blocks can't be beat.

this may be the successor to my mcw that I had to hack up to make fit my 3870 :/

**~~septim~~** · 06-20-2008, 05:43 PM

so long as they supply the proper mounting plates and is backwards compatible, then the mcw60 may have a competitor...

**generics_user** · 06-20-2008, 05:44 PM

now i'm glad that i didn't order a second mcw-60, old mcw going into my office rig and 2 of these into the gaming one

BTW i love the stock 3870 coolers, they have seperate sinks on the core, ram and vrm, all made of copper, all screwed to the card without pushpins and with thermal paste, no need for full cover blocks

**003** · 06-20-2008, 06:28 PM

MCW60 killer?! I hope two of them will fit on a 4870X2, or at least they make a dual GPU version.

**gojirasan** · 06-20-2008, 06:28 PM

Does anyone have any idea if these will work on ATI's new cards? Or their old ones?

**Apollo4g** · 06-20-2008, 06:41 PM

From the D-Tek site

Compatibility:

The D-TEK FuZion™ GFX 2 comes with all the necessary mounting hardware for the following Video Cards.

ATI:

ATI Radeon® 2900XT -via the 4 mounting holes through the video card using small bracket set.
ATI Radeon® X1000 series -via the 4 mounting holes though the video card.

Nvidia:

Nvidia® 8000 Series -via the 4 mounting holes through the video card and included 8800 mounting and backing plates.
Nvidia® 6800 / 7800 / 7900 series -via the 4 mounting holes through the video card.

D-TEK guarantees compatibility only with video cards following the ATI and Nvidia® reference designs using 4-hole mounting.

nice looks like it will fit compressions fittings

**teko** · 06-20-2008, 10:14 PM

Looks like there's no support for the range of cards, ATI 3xxx and 4xxx and Nvidia 9xxx and 2xx, that would really suck

Oh im sure they will figure out something!

**WhiteFireDragon** · 06-20-2008, 10:54 PM

$53 eh... MCW60 still beats it in price at $40. hopefully the price difference will parallel the performance difference also

Yea.. Another reason why I want to get rid of my MCW60's

And I really hope so Apollo, would be wierd to launch a new block that doesn't support any of the new cards

But maybe I'm just missing that they have the same mounting as some of the old ones..?

**Apollo4g** · 06-21-2008, 12:15 AM

I have no idea, but like you said it would be really silly for them not to make it fit the new cards, i highly doubt it.

**Deux** · 06-21-2008, 08:39 AM

If it fits the 7900 series it fits the 38x0 series and the 48x0 series also.

**fibua** · 06-21-2008, 08:40 AM

Does This New Gpu Support Nvidia 9600GT.

**ANP !!!** · 06-23-2008, 09:10 AM

Sweet if this is on the par with the MCW60, I will get it.

MCW60 has horrible barb spacing.

, although its the good block.

**IanY** · 06-23-2008, 09:26 AM

Now, if they'll make Unisinks for the front and back of the 280GTX, I'm guaranteed to buy this.

**Giannis86** · 06-23-2008, 12:54 PM

i love the looks of this block..i might get some myself but im still gonna wait a bit for the new ATI cards to hit the streets

**Jimmer411** · 06-23-2008, 01:16 PM

Hopefully they will make unisinks for Ati cards as well

**Apollo4g** · 06-23-2008, 01:50 PM

yup i hope so also.....

**Lloyd** · 06-23-2008, 02:32 PM

OOOOOOOOOO, I want one/more of those.
I can't wait to see the Uni-sink to match (presuming the old ones won't fit)

**Shlomo** · 06-23-2008, 02:52 PM

When is this block supposed to hit the stores, and how much will it be?
