mcw55 vga block

[leeglf]

i am going to go and buy a mcw55 vga block tomorrow could someone tell me what size water pipes it is compatable with i have got 3/8 ID.

and also does it come with any ram sinks for the memory?

You usually specify what size of barbs you want when you order it... mcw55 doesn't come with ramsinks that I know of..

Why not get the new MCW60?

Comes with the forged copper swiftech ramsinks, 3/8" and 1/2" barbs..

i would get the mcw60 but it is not available here in england yet!
i contacted swiftech and they said they cant give me a deffinite date that they are going to sell it here! [smilie=icon_sad.gif]

Ahhhh..... that's kind of lame.. I use an MCW55 and I have no complaints, probably have to order ramsinks separately, but you should be able to specify barb size when ordering..

If I remember right, the MCW55 doesn't come with any barbs at all, just the push fittings. So if you want barbs, you'll have to order them extra................. :wink:

"1/2" quick-connect fittings provide optimal flow rate in 3/8" systems, and perform on par with traditional 1/2" barb fittings with the optional tube-to-barb adapters "

so can i use it without barbs do the water pipes push straight into the push fittings?

ok i finally installed my double rad and my mcw55 vga block i have not connected the block to my graphics card yet as i am going to let it run for a while to make sure it does not leak!

i dont know if mbm5 is reading the temps right but with the double rad its measuring 17deg idle and 29 load i know they will rise when i connect the vga block but this seems really low! :lol:

what temps are you guys seeing with your watercooling systems?

[silenze]

What bios version are you running?

[Bio-Hazard]

That does seem a bit on the low low side................ :lol:

If those temps are lower than room temp, something is really messed up with either MBM or your hardware monitoring IC.

ok i looked in the bios at the pc health status and the cpu temp in there says 25 deg so i guess motherboard monitor is messed up i will try reloading it later!

my bios version is 6-23
