Introduction
The MCW5002-775T is a fully assembled liquid-cooled thermoelectric
(Peltier) solution, specifically designed for Intel® Pentium®
4 (socket LGA775) microprocessors.
This unit is intended for advanced users in extreme microprocessor
cooling applications, such as extreme overclocking. The product
requires appropriate insulation measures to prevent the formation
of condensation in sensitive areas of the motherboard. Whereas
Swiftech provides gaskets, and specific installation instructions
for such assembly, utilization of this device is at the sole risk
of the user.
Major features
- 226Watts 25A at 12V thermoelectric module
- 1/2" barb fittings, for maximum flow rate
- Patent pending Diamond-Pin Matrix© copper base plate
for optimal heat transfer, and turbulent flow:
- "Dropped-deck" housing, as
featured in the MCW5000 release 2 series water-blocks,
to increase cooling fluid velocity through the Diamond-Pin Matrix©
area.
- Requires removal of Intel® Pentium® 4 stock retention
frame
- Fully gasketed assembly for condensation control
Thermoelectric cooling benefits
- Up to 50°C drop in processor operating temperature
- Solid state module reliability (50,000 hours MTBF)
- More versatile than vapor compression systems: can be used
with almost any chassis with our MCB-120 "Radbox"
external radiator mounting system
- More economical and easier to implement than vapor compression
systems
What can be expected in terms of overclocking ?
The integrated circuit industry rule of thumb states that a
chip will gain an average of 2 to 3% in operating frequency
for every 10°C drop in operating temperature. The chart
below is helpful in estimating what the processor temperature
will be after installation of the MCW5002-775T, and then project
the microprocessor frequency gain using this rule of thumb.

Power Supply requirements
- Auxiliary power supply :
- The TEC module is provided with "bare wires"
to facilitate installation with screw type terminals.
- We recommend the "Meanwell S320-12" power supply,
rated for 25A at 12 Volts, and available here.

- While it is possible to connect the MCW5002-AT to the computer
power-supply, users should be aware that only high-end power-supplies
can accomodate the Peltier module 18amps current draw (at 12
volts). Accordingly, users should verify that their power supply
features at least a 40 Amps ratings for the +12 volts rail.

Housing:
The upper deck of the housing is lowered to increase flow
velocity through the Diamond-Pin Matrix©. This in effect
improves the rate of heat transfer to the cooling fluid,
and results in overall improved performance.
- CNC machined aluminum L2.5"xW2.5"xH1.5"
- Type II, class 2 blue anodized anti-corrosion treatment
- 3/8" NPT threads
|

|
Base plate:
- 0.500" (12.7mm) thick CNC machined copper base
plate
- Submersed face (0.250"/6.35mm) is CNC machined
from billet to form Patent Pending Diamond-Pin Matrix©.
Design increases heat dissipation surface, and flow turbulence
to enhance heat transfer to cooling fluid.
- Outer face is lapped flat to 3/10 of 1/1000",
and near-mirror polished.
