Introduction
The MCW5000-PT is a fully assembled liquid-cooled thermoelectric
(Peltier) solution, specifically designed for Intel® Pentium®
4 (socket 478) microprocessors.
This unit is intended for advanced users, in extreme applications,
and requires appropriate insulation 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" OD tubing for optimal flow rate
- Patent pending Diamond-Pin Matrix© copper base plate
for optimal heat transfer, and turbulent flow:
- Outperforms all previously released Swiftech water-blocks!
- Tool-free quick-connect fittings built into the block
- Convenient 45° orientation of inlet, and outlet helps
eliminate kinks in the tubing installation.
- Requires removal of Intel® Pentium® 4 stock retention

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.

- Minimum requirements for a dedicated power supply: 25A
at +12 volts.
- If adjustable voltage is available: setting the voltage
higher than +12V is not recommended. Lower voltage, can
be safely used, down to 9 volts.

Housing:
- CNC machined aluminum L2.5"xW2.5"xH1.5"
- Type II, class 2 blue anodized anti-corrosion treatment
- Built-in quick-connect fittings for 1/2" OD tubing
(3/8" ID)

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.
- Exceptional quality and attention to details:
the copper base plate is lapped to 0.0003" (3/10
of 1/1000"), and polished to near-mirror finish to
promote optimum thermal conductivity.
