Xtreme IT Gear

The MCW30 is a versatile chipset water-block compatible with most mainboard configurations. Its low flow restriction characteristics and wide range of useable fittings make it ideal for integration with just about any liquid cooling system. It is particularly well suited for high front side bus overclocks. Features & benefits: High flow and thermal performance for all system configurations. The water-block ships with 1/4", 1/2" and 3/8" barbs offering compatibility with just about any liquid cooling circuit. The NPSM thread used in the MCW30 is BSPP and G 1/4 fittings compatible. Completely unrestricted chamber to minimize pressure drop. The MCW30 is compatible with most recent SLI motherboards. Compatibility & retention mechanisms: The MCW30 offers a variety of mounting systems for maximum installation versatility including a wire-clip mount for motherboards using 4 loops (frequently found on Intel mainboards) and also two versions of two-hole mounting clips (for thru-motherboard installations) providing a range from 53mm to 60mm centre to centre distance between the mounting holes. The first of these clips is a "hard-mount" mechanism which provides superior mechanical stability and thermal contact: The hard-mount is particularly recommended for 1/2" tubing users, as it completely prevents the block from rocking sideways and losing thermal interface due to the lateral pressures caused by the tubing. The hard-mount is compatible with most recent bare die chipsets (such as those found on nVidia & Intel mainboards). The second of these clips is a conventional spring mount which provides compatibility when a hard mount is not possible (such as chipsets protected by an integrated heat spreader). Package contents: MCW30 chipset water-block, two two-hole mounting clip versions for both hard-mounts and spring mounts, one wire clip mount for four loop installations, one pair each of 1/4", 1/2" and 3/8" barbs, clips, an allen key needed for some installations, thermal grease & installation guide.
