Swiftech MCWRamcool/A VGA memory waterblock

Introduction

The MCW-Ramcool series are extreme duty waterblocks designed to fit nVidia's GeForce series VGA memory modules. The design concept is a standalone solution mechanically distinct from the GPU waterblock. For this reason the MCW-Ramcool waterblocks guarantee superior thermal joints with the memory modules compared to stock or to other aftermarket "monolithic" cooling solutions. This can translate into superior performance and overclockability of the memory modules.

In order to provide universal compatibility with existing liquid cooling systems, we have designed the Patent Pending "F" fittings which allow the MCW-Ramcool to operate with 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" cooling loops.

These fittings provide a clean tube routing, with a minimum of pressure drop in the system by linking in parallel the 1/4" MCW-Ramcool ports to the VGA water-block ports.

Performance Data:

As seen above, thanks to the patent pending 'F" fittings, the addition of the MCW-Ramcool has very little impact on the system flow rate in the typical range of operations comprised between 0.5 and up to 2 GPM. This will allow users with entry levels pumps and/or 1/4" loops to use the MCW-Ramcool without incurring an excessive burden on system flow rate.

If you are unsure whether your particular VGA will work with the MCW-Ramcool, remove the stock heatsink, measure the distance between the mounting holes, and compare this to the schematic linked here.
