WW or MCW6002?

BlueMan · Jun 8, 2004

I'm at that point when I've bought everything I can except my cpu block.

I'll be running a two block setup. here are my other componants:

Mag3
Silverprop HL GPU block
Fedco 3-342 (GDI 399090) HC
Criticool Powerplant Res
1/2" tubing
540cfm dual blower

I'll be running all the componants except the res and the blocks in an external box that will sit under the computer. the res. will be mounted on top of the case as the highest point easier fill/bleed and letting air escape.

What I can't decide is: should I get the WW (which I assume has the new lapped finish) or should I get the MCW6002 that comes out supposedly tomorrow.

Suggestions?

Well if you get a WW, won't it have 1 in and 2 out? I think they both perform very closely. I would decide on routing a 3 barb CPU block vs a 2 barb CU block. The swifty is also all copper.

Just curious, where did you see a release date for the MCW-6002. Ive been searching because I would like to get one also but cant find any info about it.

check the link to the Swiftech web page for the MCW6002: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw6002.asp

thats what i've been trying to decide on too (lol, i guess thats not much help!)
well, i'll lay down the pros/cons about each.

mcw:
Pros:

Preforms slightly better then the WW
All copper construction
Swiftech's diamond lapping (sweet finish)

Cons:

VERY restrictive. might affect other components (if u care about them.. i don't)
looks ugly.. what?? it does!

WW:
Pros:

new mirror finish
ledgendary kick@$$ design which has been tested many many times
looks sweet (expectually with a clear top)

Cons:

Aluminum top : might cause corrosion, will need corrosion inhibitors.
Polytop : Might crack, cause leaks/damages
More expensive.

Personally, i have an issue with the barbs. i've already adapted my system to a 3barb waterblock, switching would be hard.

nocturnx · Jun 8, 2004

ok thanks, i had checked that page numerous times and didnt see the June 10th date there lol.

I think between the 2 I would go with the WW for performance but I like the old school all copper look of the swifty

BlueMan · Jun 8, 2004

I think I'm leaning towards the swiffy. Personally I think it looks kinda sharp

I definitly like the 2 barb setup since I'm starting from scratch.

frodoski · Jun 8, 2004

Then there is the matter of the large difference in price versus the small difference in performance. If had a budget to stick to...I would...probably stick with the Swifty.

JDizzle · Jun 8, 2004

I really like what you get for the price you pay with the MCW6002. I would've gotten it but I got a deal on an RBX so I got that instead.

BlueMan · Jun 8, 2004

price isn't really an issue, but form all the tests I've seen the MCW6002 actually performed BETTER than the WW. I know it's hard to break from the tradition of excellence that the WW has set, but...

Mcw6002

BlueMan · Jun 9, 2004

are the blocks of similar restriction?

nocturnx · Jun 9, 2004

No, the 6002 had huge flow restriction compared to the WW. Actually the 6002 (6000) has the highest flow restriction of all the blocks in JoeC's review.

BlueMan · Jun 9, 2004

would the mag3 be powerful enough to take advantage of that?

The Mag3 is a fairly strong pump already, so I'm sure it'd be able to handle the 6002 and the Silverprop. My personal vote is for the MCW6002. Korndog summarized everything I had in mind when deciding between the two. However, the 6002 might reduce restriction because of the larger 1/2" barbs. If this happens, flow rate will increase, and performance will as well (provided it follows the MCW6000's charateristics).

felinusz · Jun 9, 2004

Definetely go with the Swiftech. The routing is a big player in the decision, and a two-barb block is a lot easier to work with. The performance is also obviously a big concern, the MCW 6002 probably being the better choice there as well. As for the block's restrictive design; with a Mag3 and only one other water block, the restrictiveness of the MCW 6002 won't be a big deal.

i agree - since the gpu block will lessen the effect of the swiftech's restrictiveness (as there's more restriction in the rest of the loop)... you could put the saving towards upgrading the pump to an mcp600/AquaXtreme 50Z-DC12 or D4 for even better performance...

Senater_Cache · Jun 18, 2004

how would all this work with a MCP600??

Sssnake · Jun 18, 2004

Its been said b4, but bears say again. There are copper tops avaible for the ww.

And as u said cost isnt a issue, blueman, then maybe that would be something for u.
At least it kills of one of the cons about it

brisk · Jun 23, 2004

so did anyone here order or have a mcm6002? if so how is the performance? thanks
