MCW5000-PT™ LIQUID COOLED THERMOELECTRIC ASSEMBLY FOR INTEL® PENTIUM® 4 PROCESSORS


Made in the USA      
(one or more patents pending)

DISCONTINUED

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 frame

Thermolectric module characteristics

Couples   U max   I max   DT max   Q max   L ×W×H(mm)   R(Ω)  
127 15.2 VDC 24 A 55° C 226.1 W 50 × 50 × 3.10 0.48  

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.


Cold Plate:

  • 0.500" (12.7mm) thick CNC machined copper base plate.
  • Exceptional quality and attention to details: the cold plate is lapped to 0.0003" (3/10 of 1/1000"), and polished to near-mirror finish to promote optimum thermal conductivity. Users are advised that while flatness is strictly respected for providing the most significant benefit to thermal interface, surface polish is a cosmetic component and may vary slightly from one heatsink to another. Re-lapping or polishing the copper base is never recommended.

 


Assembly:

  • Overall dimensions including retention frame: L3.3" x W2.7" x H2.3" (L83.8 x W68.6 x H58.4 mm) - This fits inside of Intel® socket 478 no components zone.
