Maze 5, Swiftech MCW60, or dtek gfx fuzion(not released)

[crazymonkee84]

Can anybody tell me which is better. Personal experiences would be great too.

It's hard to go wrong with the MCW60 - low restriction, good performance, and you can actually buy an adapter kit to put it onto an 8800 unlike the Maze5. I've been happy with it for about a year now across X1900 and now 8800.

I'll be putting it on my 7900gto, would that work ok? And its mostly performance I'm looking for (this is my new account since I accidentally lost crazymonkee84 account)

Should fit on a 7900 series just fine...

I use MCW60 on two 7900GT's which should have the same holes as the GTO for mounting. Can't comment on if it's enough to cool memory - lots of guys buy those full card waterblocks for the 7900GTX/GTO but it may not be nessesary. I run my mem overclocked at 750DDR with Swifty ram sinks...

Yep, I originally bought the MCW60 kit that came with an 8 pack of MC14s... bought another MC14 8 pack and some Microcools to cover all the 8800 hotspots. Re-taped the original set of MC14 with some Sekisui adhesive I had lying around.

Universal parts > full cover blocks IMO. Recycling FTW.

Can you guys also throw the MP-1 into comparison? I emailed dtek asking if it'd fit a 7900gto. If it does, then I'd liek to throw that into comparison.

I like the MCW60 I bought for my G80 card.

Extreamly easy to install IMHO.

 

[crazymonkee84]

added the new fuzion gfx to the comparison, dtek emailed my after my question saying itd be released in about 2 weeks and theyre discontinuing the mp-1

You only want one with Delrin top. Plastic can crack due to thermal cycling - metal tops like brass and aluminum increase galvanic corrosion speed when combined with copper base.

As far s performance they are all within 1-2C of each other at max load since GPU blocks are not as sophisticated as CPU.. Just buy cheapest with Delrin.
