Best GPU Block

[OutS|der]

k i got a Swiftech MCW50 now but am upgradeing my whole system and now its time to decide on the GPU block
am looking at Maze4 but aint sure
whats the best?

IMO, you should be happy with your MCW50. I've had mine with my old 9800pro and moved it over to my 6800GT no problems. Not sure how it compares to a Maze4 though, but I doubt there is that big of a difference between the two blocks.

ya i understand that there wont be much diff between blocks but with my MCW%0 on my 9800xt i was running at around 62C idle and thats a bit to high IMO so i dunno do i change blocks or not
if a maze4 offers any increase in performance i want it

something was wrong with your installation if your core ever reached 60c

Keep the Swiftech MCW50, it is a good block and I doubt that there will be any/ much difference between two well made blocks.

I have a MCW50 on my 6800 and at max overclock it never reaches 50C let alone 60C.

Save some money and stick with the block you have.

I have the Maze 4. On my 6800gt highest load I've seen was 40c. As far as I know the maze4 and the mcw50 should be pretty close in performance, so I would have to wager something else in yoru loop was causing the high temps. Perhaps your Rad was clogged?
