I have had my Maze 5 for ~2.5 years and don't want to have to get a new GPU block but......
It's hard to tell if the Maze 5 is compatible with the HD 5850s I am looking to purchase. It seems that the MCW60 IS compatible.
Otherwise it's a $100+ FC block for it.
THere are some on other forums that hail the FC blocks as a better solution for "overall performance gains" but I don't really believe in FC blocks anyway and I change my VCs ~2 yrs
I have a 120mm blowing over the VC and have had Ramsinks on the Mem (although I do wonder about that as well since over time they have fallen off but I still OC'd the card fine).
So the question is.
1) Does the Maze 5/MCW60 fit with the 5850?
2) If you all were me would you do the GPU block w/Ramsinks or FC Block
Thanks in advance......
