Check out my new setup! Need a GPU block

jakeface1 · Sep 29, 2010

So I finished my setup finally, I did a top rad mod with a rs240, and I have a swiftech 320 on the back. The setup is only a few hours old and there is a bit of air trapped in the rad's still. I see bubbles slowly escaping.

AMBIENT TEMPS 24C - I know it shows idle temps at 25C and 30C but thats from pc start up so it doesnt count. Actual idle temps are 27C.

Load temps are after 50 minutes Prime 95 small FFT's

All I need is a GPU block. Can anyone recommend one? I was thinking the swiftech mcm80.

Heres some pics!

Nice rig. Lots of pics should be in the pic thread, I know your excited. Anyhoo, give it a few days before benching temps. You got bubbles still. Life still goes on besides your rig, but it's looking good, and nice pics.

Umm for what card, since I lost the train of thought for your question on the GPU block after scrolling for a minute or two....

5870 on a 80? sure, but pay CLOSE attention to how you cool the Vregs on air.

Naa, no reason too, just me being the stern asbutt I am. Read my early posts about my builds?

Nothing more needed.

Ohh you way got the pic size right, MUCH better than MANY others. Good job!

And VERY VERY nice clear pics. Makes me wanna bling someday. Yours is balanced tho. No Darth Beevis in that rig.

I see liquid love in those pics.... Wow.

The MCW80 is very nice and should match up on the 5870 without issues unless it's some special revision. I have one on my 4870 and it dropped my idle temps from around 60°C to about 38°C and the highest I've seen the GPU hit is 45°C in Furmark. My card already had a heatsink installed on the voltage regulators so I left it and just added the copper ramsinks. Enzotech BMR-C1 kit for like $13.

I like the color scheme you've got going in that beast!

This pic shows the finish on the MCW80
