mcw60 compatible w/ ati 4850?

**jinsean** · 06-26-2008, 09:48 AM

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?

I have the MCW60 with the A2900 plate and fit perfect.

1. does the 2900 plate come with it?

2. So the standard and 8800GTX plates wont work either?

3. Any word on the 4870 yet?

1. It doesn´t come with it, but you can buy it for 6$
2. The 8800 plate wont work
3. I think it has the same hole position as the 4850 but I´m not sure.

Did you have to use the A2900 plate?

That's what I want to know too.

**dnottis** · 06-27-2008, 06:39 AM

We are going to need to create a comprehensive list of blocks and compatibility with the 4850/4870 series.

- AquaExtreme MP-1
- Maze 4
- Maze 5
- MCW60
- Dtek GPU block

And any adaptors or mods that were needed to make them fit. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge with any of these yet?

**jinsean** · 06-27-2008, 11:24 AM

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 =/

**jinsean** · 06-27-2008, 11:30 AM

From swiftech's site:

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.

I guess the layout for the 2900 series were much diff than the 3800 series.

Thanks for all your input

Saved myself $6 + s/h

hopefully the 48xx use the same as 3800s though.

**zerazax** · 06-27-2008, 06:08 PM

4800s and 3800's have the same hole pattern I believe

it was said the middle holes match.

the ones around the ram dont.

SO the MCW60 should work.

**zerazax** · 06-27-2008, 06:55 PM

Yeah I meant the ones around the GPU so GPU only blocks should be fine.

**g0dM@n** · 07-10-2008, 04:17 PM

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...

our site has been updated. yes, the 60 is perfectly compatible.

**Cptn Vortex** · 07-10-2008, 04:32 PM

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.

what is your "friend" going to do to cool the rest of the card?

i think i'm going with dual mcw60s myself. i have a lot of heatsinks but wanna make sure they'll do the job.

Does that ETA include ramsinks for the 4870 as well?

Yes, most likely. Both drawings have been submitted, but the 4850 sinks are running first, then the 4870. Depending on how the finishing cost works out, the 4850 and 4870 sinks may be plated in seperate batches, in which case the 4870 sinks will be about 4-5 days behind the 4850 sinks.

**Cptn Vortex** · 07-10-2008, 10:38 PM

I believe he is putting some Ramsinks on, but honestly he didnt say.....The MOSFET heatsink stayed installed, just need some ramsinks to cool those mem chips I guess. He had the cards Voltmoded.....
