Description

MCW5000™ series Water Blocks

Made in the USA
(one or more patents pending)

Introduction

The MCW5000™ release 2 series of water-blocks are extreme duty liquid cooling solutions for high-end microprocessors. They are designed to be used either in straight liquid cooling configuration, or in conjunction with thermoelectric cooling elements (MCW5000-PT™).

Major features:

Extreme performance:
- 1/2" OD tubing for optimal flow rate
- Core Technology: Patent pending Diamond-Pin Matrix© copper base plate for optimal heat transfer due to turbulent flow and high flow velocity:
Plug-and-Play, hassle-free installation:
- Snaps directly into Intel® Pentium® 4 stock retention frame (socket 478), without removing the motherboard.
- Snaps directly to AMD® socket 462 retention latches, without removing the motherboard.
- Snaps directly into Intel® Xeon™ socket 603/604 retention frames without removing the motherboard.
- Bolts directly onto the newest AMD® Athlon™64 and Opteron™ retention frames
- Tool-free quick-connect fittings built into the block
- Convenient 45° orientation of inlet, and outlet helps eliminate kinks in the tubing installation.

Compatibility & Retention mechanism

The MCW5000™ ships in the following versions:

MCW5000-A™ for AMD® Duron®, Athlon® MP, and XP2600 and up.
MCW5000-P™ for Intel® Pentium® 4 (socket 478), 1.4 to 3Ghz and up.
MCW5000-PX™ (rev 2) for Intel® Xeon™ (socket 603/604), 1.4 to 3Ghz and up
NEW! MCW5000-64™ for Athlon™ 64 & Opteron™ processors
MCW5000-PT Thermoelectric assembly for Intel® Pentium® 4 (socket 478) processors - See specific product page for more information.

Conversion from one version to another is extremely simple, and only requires replacing the retention mechanism.

The MCW5000-PX™ (Rev.2) for Intel® Xeon™ OEM version processors (note 1) uses Intel's validated retention mechanism and installs without removing the motherboard
click to enlarge
Optionnaly, the MCW5000-PX™ can also use Swiftech's screw/springs retention mechanism to install with Intel Xeon retail version (note 2) processors (requires removal of the motherboards)

Note 1: Intel® OEM processors sold without cooling fan, use two plastic frames and spring clips supplied with the motherboard.
Note 2: Intel® retail version processors sold with "wind tunnel" cooling fan.

MCW5000™release 2 Specifications

Housing:

Effective 8-1-03: New release 2 "dropped deck" improves performance by up to 1°C compared to earlier versions.

The upper deck of the housing is lowered to increase flow velocity through the Diamond-Pin Matrix©. This in effect improves the rate of heat transfer to the cooling fluid, and results in overall improved performance.

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 base 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: L2.5" x W2.5" x H1.66" (L63.5 x W63.5 x H42.16 mm)
Retention mechanism options:
- Intel® Pentium® 4 processors (socket 478): stainless steel frame, 2 spring clips, (4) S/S socket screws:
  
  part #MCW5000-PRH
- Intel® Xeon™ (socket 603/604) processors: Effective 7/30/2003 the MCW5000-PX™ uses Intel's validated retention mechanism and no longer requires removal of the motherboard for installation. Motherboard retention frame and clips are provided by motherboard manufacturers and do not ship with the water-block.
- The new MCW5000-PX retention frame is also sold separately for upgrade purposes, and can be used with our optional screw/spring retention mechanism, as shown below.
part # MCW5000-PXRH
- AMD® Athlon™ 64 & Opteron™ retention hardware, including replacement copper base plate & housing gasket, retention frame, springs & screws
part # MCW5000-64RH
