| "The MCW5000-A takes the opposite approach: its thicker baseplate and large surface area from pins make it perform well at lower flow rates and with lower flow resistance. For many water cooling systems this is very desirable. One can, for example, choose a quieter pump (Eheim 1048) and add a GPU waterblock for lower system noise without sacrificing much performance. One can switch to 3/8" hose for a neater/smaller case without sacrificing much performance. If these are your goals then the MCW5000-A is a good choice. " March 2004 |  |
The MCW5000 has been around for few years now but its brilliantly engineered base, superb constriction quality and unmatched performance again raise it to the top. What also makes the MCW5000 such a success is its ability to adapt to the different socket configuration. So if you’re looking for the best in water-block then look no further than the MCW5000 from Swiftech. January 2004 |

Swiftech has introduced the MCW5000 series as possibly one of the most noteworthy performance water blocks that we have tested. It is durable, made with high quality workmanship. We have yet to experience problems with any of its products and have enjoyed testing them to the far ends of liquid cooling.

"The MCW5000 proved to be quite a solid water-block today. Not only did it outperform the best air coolers we had, but it also improved on the older MCW462-U waterblock" October 2003

analysis by Bill Adams. " Like all Swiftech products ..., one is initially struck by the impression that this [MCW5000™ water-block] is a product carefully designed and built to endure. And each product is an improvement upon its predecessor... The low flow resistance of the MCW5000 ensures that it will function well with about any pump..This is a high performing waterblock that is easy to install" March 2003 |

"Once again Swiftech has provided the computer
enthusiast a high quality product that delivers measurable results.
The MCW5000-A™
has allowed us to take our system's performance to a new level.
The ability to overclock our AMD 2000+ CPU by 58% (912 MHZ) is a testament
to that fact. Priced competitively at $52.00, we believe this product
is a great value, especially when considering that it should still be
viable through multiple system upgrades." January 2002 |
