X1950XTX Watercooling with my system

What is it exactly that you want to know? I recommend the MCW60 for now... nice block with good mounting and good flow. I'm using an MP-01 on my X1950XTX.

DD Maze 4 performs as well as the MCW60 and is easier to mount.

well my concerns were what blocks can handle the heat, will it cause any restrictions, and would it affect my temps significantly. I want be able to cool the card, but if I can do it just as quietly with air, I want someone to tell me.

The new coolers on the 1950's are supposed to be much quieter than previously. Water should drop you load temps some 30 - 40C on the core, no joke. I load at about 35c or so and stock it was 75+! All recent GPU blocks can handle it no problem. I cant say how much it will raise your water temps or your cpu temps because I don't have that rad. For me, my CPU temps did not go up one bit.

I dont think that the added heat from the card will hurt your temps @ all . But like Nik said it wil drop the temp on your card a crazy amount . my last card droped 30 degs when i put it on water.
