This is my Sapphire 4870x2 with the new Swiftech Caldera heatsink installed.
Seems to do a great job and I can use the MCW60 water blocks I already had...

If you decide to pick one of these heatsinks up and want to use your MCW60 blocks with it you have to also buy the screw kits to mount your blocks to this card. Make sure you buy one kit per block.

Man, that looks pretty sweet! Well sick!



That's even Sweeter! your Super Pi score!!

Now, I do like those blocks over a full card block... All ways saw the full card block as being hotter for the card.. Just looks "cooler"

Well the hotest core will be that first one on the x2, but the water will still be much cooler than the second blocks core and the third...

That loop has a MCP355 with a XSPC top with a BIX360 and 3-141 CFM delta's pulling a lot of air through it.



Getting 26c right now idle. And the ambient room temp is 21c.

Well, like I've said in other threads... Jab-tech is probably the best place on pricing and so forth... If the item isn't discontinued, they'll get it restocked in less then a few days.. Pricing is a great reason I use them 90% of the time. Only when I want everything in one order, do I order other places...
