The MCW60 is fully compatible with AMD® new 4850 and 4870 series graphics cards. Memory cooling is handled on this 4870 Model by (8) MC14 ramsinks, and Mosfet Cooling is handled by (3) MC21 heatsinks. Below, we are showing the perfect thermal grease imprint that is to be expected with the MCW60 mounting system and lapped copper base. |

Features and benefits at a glance
| Versatility | VGA compatibility: the improved mounting system provides compatibility with most ATI® Radeon® and most high-end nVidia® GeForce® graphics adapters (see compatibility section for details). |
|---|---|
| Water-cooling system compatibility: The water-block ships with 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" barbs for universal compatibility with any liquid cooling circuit. | |
| Low water-block profile allows installation with nVidia®'s SLI and ATI®'s CrossFire™ systems. | |
| The NPSM thread used in the MCW60 is BSPP and G 1/4 fittings compatible (see technical note on Fittings Compatibility) | |
Performance |
The thermal performance model focuses extreme cooling where it is in fact the most needed: at the GPU level. This will afford better overclocks, and overall lower system temperature. Efficient and silent memory cooling is handled by using individual Ramsinks. |
| Water-block Performance | The MCW60 waterblock inherits all its thermal and hydraulic characteristics from the Apogee CPU water-block, in particular the Patent Pending Diamond Pin Matrix cold plate, proven for its thermal efficiency with today's high end CPUs. |
| Memory performance | Greater thermal efficiency is obtained thanks to the superior mechanical joint afforded by individual heatsinks compared to monolithic memory cooling solutions. |
| Reliability | The housing is injection molded from POM (Acetal Co-polymer) resulting in complete reliability compared to machined Acrylic tops which tend to crack. |
| All hydraulic joints (housing to cold-plate and fittings) use o-rings for complete reliability and leak-free operations. | |
| The mounting system includes a strong stiffening back-plate with a soft rubber center pad to prevent the circuit-board from bending . | |
| Cosmetic Appeal | In its black and chrome trim, the MCW60 VGA cooler is a perfect match to complement the Apogee CPU cooler, and the MCW30 Chipset cooler. |
| Lower cost of ownership | The injection molded water-block housing results in economies of scale, whereas the individual memory Ramsinks provide significant material savings compared to monolithic solutions. Cost of ownership is thus reduced by up to 50% compared to monolithic solutions, with superior performance where it really counts, and complete freedom in terms of graphics cards upgradeability. |
Performance and flow data
|
This graph shows a lower pressure drop for the MCW60 which will result in better flow rates and overall system performance. |
|
The MCW60 shows an improvement of 0.02 to 0.01 °C/W in the range of typical system flow rates (0.5 to 1.5 GPM). This is a 1 to 2°C improvement at 100 Watts. |
Compatibility and retention mechanism
The MCW60™ is shipped with three separate retention mechanisms composed of spring loaded screws and back plates providing off-the-shelf compatibility with most ATI®® Radeon™ and most nVidia®® GeForce®™ families of products as follows:
1. Pre-assembled retention mechanism using the four holes surrounding the processor:
- Most high-end nVidia® GeForce™ series from 6800 and above (incl. latest 8800 series). See compatibility list below.
- ATI® Radeon™ series from X1800 and above (incl. latest 3800 series)
- COMPATIBILITY LIST nVidia®
2. Retention mechanism for all ATI® Radeon® 7000 to X850, and X1300 to X1600 (*) series using the two alternate mounting holes:
X1600XT Series Note: Depending on the circuit board maker, some X1600XT are not compatible. See compatibility list
3. Retention mechanism for nVidia® GeForce® 8800 series
3. ATI®'s latest 2900XT graphics card require the optional A2900 retention kit shown below, as well as optional memory cooling. 2 packs of eight MC14 Ramsinks, and 1 pack of four MC21 mosfet heatsinks are needed.
4. Earlier mid-range GeForce®™ series (6600 and below) utilizing two diagonal mounting holes (3.12" spacing as shown below) require the optional MCW60-FX kit.
The MCW60 FX kit provides compatibility with earlier GeForce® models
