MCW6002 waterblock

Silmatharien · May 18, 2006

I currently have the stepped (athlon XP) version of this block but there's also a flat version used for A64, Opterons, etc. I'm upgrading very very soon and don't really want to rebuy my waterblock. So my questoin is this: Can you use the stepped version with socket 939 processors? I sort of thought you could since the die is in the centre of the CPU anyway and the IHS on the Opterons doesn't do much for heat dissipation anyway.

I do not see why not. You will need Swiftech's 'mounting' hardware, however.

http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw6002.asp At the bottom you'll find them for 10 bucks.

I am sure you know that this model has been discontinued, right?

BTW, where did you get that Corsair Hyper-X memory from? Kingston made the Hyper-x I have on my board....

Edit typo.

I bought it a few years ago when I did an upgrade. I just bought it at a local shop.

I think you may have corsair XMS, I believe kingston was the only company that produced hyper-X memory.

I'd have never have believed it. You would think that Kingston would file a complaint against Corsair for trademark infringement. One company using another's industrial property like that is good cause for a lawsuit. It was a bad call on Corsair's part to do something so blatantly unlawful...

That, or you are perhaps mistaken about what brand of memory you recently purchased...

yeah, it is TwinX. I hadn't looked at my RAM in ages and now that I do, it says TwinX. my mistake

Ok. At any rate, I hope you have found the link to swiftech helpful. The mounting hardware is but $5 -s/h. If it works, let us know?

Good luck.

itll work, my friend used the AXP version of the 6002 with A64 mounting hardware and it works fine.

thanks. I actually emailed Swiftech and they said it should work and there will be some loss but they haven't actually quantified the difference it makes (I bet next to none).
