| The MCW60 G80 adapter plate provides compatibility with nVidia®'s GeForce® 8800GTX, Ultra, and GTS series video cards. Shown here with the optional MC8800 cooling kit on nVidia®'s GeForce® 8800 GTX. | |
The optional G80 adapter kit is used to replace the standard MCW60 hold-down plate and allows installation with GeForce®™ GTX, ultra and GTS series Video Cards. This adpater is not required for the GT version, as shown below. |
|
The MCW60 in stock configuration is fully compatible with nVidia® 8800GT. Optional memory and mosfet cooling is available by using (10) MC14 Ramsinks, and (1) MC21 mosfet heatsink. |
|
The MCW60 in stock configuration is fully compatible with ATI®'s new 3800 Series graphics cards (shown above with Sapphire Radeon HD 3850). Optional memory and mosfet cooling is available by using (8) MC14 Ramsinks, and (4) MC21 mosfet heatsink. |

Features and benefits at a glance
| Versatility | VGA compatibility: the improved mounting system provides compatibility with most ATI® Radeon® and most high-end nVidia® GeForce® graphics adapters (see compatibility section for details). |
|---|---|
| Water-cooling system compatibility: The water-block ships with 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" barbs for universal compatibility with any liquid cooling circuit. | |
| Low water-block profile allows installation with nVidia®'s SLI and ATI®'s CrossFire™ systems. | |
| The NPSM thread used in the MCW60 is BSPP and G 1/4 fittings compatible (see technical note on Fittings Compatibility) | |
Performance |
The thermal performance model focuses extreme cooling where it is in fact the most needed: at the GPU level. This will afford better overclocks, and overall lower system temperature. Efficient and silent memory cooling is handled by using individual Ramsinks. |
| Water-block Performance | The MCW60 waterblock inherits all its thermal and hydraulic characteristics from the Apogee CPU water-block, in particular the Patent Pending Diamond Pin Matrix cold plate, proven for its thermal efficiency with today's high end CPUs. |
| Memory performance | Greater thermal efficiency is obtained thanks to the superior mechanical joint afforded by individual heatsinks compared to monolithic memory cooling solutions. |
| Reliability | The housing is injection molded from POM (Acetal Co-polymer) resulting in complete reliability compared to machined Acrylic tops which tend to crack. |
| All hydraulic joints (housing to cold-plate and fittings) use o-rings for complete reliability and leak-free operations. | |
| The mounting system includes a strong stiffening back-plate with a soft rubber center pad to prevent the circuit-board from bending . | |
| Cosmetic Appeal | In its black and chrome trim, the MCW60 VGA cooler is a perfect match to complement the Apogee CPU cooler, and the MCW30 Chipset cooler. |
| Lower cost of ownership | The injection molded water-block housing results in economies of scale, whereas the individual memory Ramsinks provide significant material savings compared to monolithic solutions. Cost of ownership is thus reduced by up to 50% compared to monolithic solutions, with superior performance where it really counts, and complete freedom in terms of graphics cards upgradeability. |
Performance and flow data
|
This graph shows a lower pressure drop for the MCW60 which will result in better flow rates and overall system performance. |
|
The MCW60 shows an improvement of 0.02 to 0.01 °C/W in the range of typical system flow rates (0.5 to 1.5 GPM). This is a 1 to 2°C improvement at 100 Watts. |
Compatibility and retention mechanism
The MCW60™ is shipped with three separate retention mechanisms composed of spring loaded screws and back plates providing off-the-shelf compatibility with most ATI®® Radeon™ and most nVidia®® GeForce®™ families of products as follows:
1. Pre-assembled retention mechanism using the four holes surrounding the processor:
- Most high-end nVidia® GeForce™ series from 6800 and above (incl. latest 8800 series). See compatibility list below.
- ATI® Radeon™ series from X1800 and above (incl. latest 3800 series)
- COMPATIBILITY LIST nVidia®
2. Retention mechanism for all ATI® Radeon® 7000 to X850, and X1300 to X1600 (*) series using the two alternate mounting holes:
X1600XT Series Note: Depending on the circuit board maker, some X1600XT are not compatible. See compatibility list
3. Retention mechanism for nVidia® GeForce® 8800 series
3. ATI®'s latest 2900XT graphics card require the optional A2900 retention kit shown below, as well as optional memory cooling. 2 packs of eight MC14 Ramsinks, and 1 pack of four MC21 mosfet heatsinks are needed.
4. Earlier mid-range GeForce®™ series (6600 and below) utilizing two diagonal mounting holes (3.12" spacing as shown below) require the optional MCW60-FX kit.
The MCW60 FX kit provides compatibility with earlier GeForce® models
