The Swiftech MCW60-4870 VGA Liquid Cooling Block is the world's first graphics cooling solution to combine heat pipe and liquid cooling to achieve extreme performance thermal characteristics in an economical package. This product is compatible with AMD's HD4870 reference design graphics cards only.
Based on the award winning MCW60 water-block which employs Swiftech's proven Diamond Pin Matrix technology, the MCW60-4870 base plate is CNC machined from billet C110 copper, then electroless nickel and chrome plated. It cools the GPU, memory, and extends to cool a heat pipe linking to the graphics card's MOSFET.
Since the MCW60-4870 uses the same housing and specifications as the MCW60 revision 2, thermal performance and flow rate are identical; the product also retains the same great installation mechanism with a sturdy back-plate.
Note: The Swiftech MCW60-4870 is CrossFire compatible.

Its Great But Not Great

This waterblock does its job well. Its easy to install, doesn''t take up much room, and it keeps temperatures low which is what its made to do. If I stopped there I''d have to give it 5 stars. Unfortunately I can''t stop there. This is the last time I will ever buy anything water cooled that doesn''t have the option of compression fittings. I''ve always had leaking issues with non compression fittings and this block had been one of the worst for it. Give this thing compression fittings and its 5 stars. It doesn''t so take your money and buy something that won''t leak
Outstanding Block

This thing is well made. Temps are great and it does not sound like my computer has a hair dryer running inside of it during gaming. Don''t even think about using connectors other than what is supplied. Compression fittings are not going to work here (not enough threads)!
