    The GPU block that wouldn't die

    I'm still using a Swiftech MCW50! I have made many adapter plates over the years to keep it going. It's currently on a MSI RTX2070. Almost 20 years in daily use. On my CPU, I'm still using a Swiftech MCW5000! (custom adapter plates too) I figured why replace something that works. The...

    No full cover block, but I adapted an older Swiftech MCW50 block for my 2070 Ventus.

    New RTX 2080 Ventus 8G Crashes With Multiple Games, no GPU O/Cing..

    My MSI RTX2070 Ventus came wrapped in plastic cellophane. Your card might have been a return. It's normal for the card to boost oc to those numbers. Although mine a 2070, it hits that 1800 to 1850 oc too.

    Need some advice about 1440p gaming with RTX2060

    You are currently running a GTX780, correct? I guarantee you we see a huge boost in performance going to a RTX2060. When I went from a GTX760 to a GTX1060, I was blown away on how I could up the settings quite a bit in most games. Even in TSW (trainsimworld), I was finally able to crank up the...

    Need some advice about 1440p gaming with RTX2060

    I have a RTX2070 paired with a I5 4670K and love the combination. I use an Acer Z321QU 1440P 144hHz display. Battlefield 5 (DXR off), Battlefield 1, World of Tanks, World of Warships, F1 2018, are a few of the games I play and I avg just around 100 FPS at 1440P max settings. Only in some cpu...

    MSI RTX 2070 Ventus watercooled with Swiftech MCW50 (New mounting hole dimensions)

    Also, if you recall, they updated the pump head assembly and gave it free to original owner's of the MCP600. The original design had some issues and they replaced the thrust head bearing with a ceramic design. It made it bulletproof, as I can attest to. I estimate that my pump has been running...

    MSI RTX 2070 Ventus watercooled with Swiftech MCW50 (New mounting hole dimensions)

    DDR6 doesn't run hot enough to require ramsinks. I also, carefully pick out a card that will work with a universal block. They must have separate heatsinks attached to the PCB for the power components and not the main cooler. I always have had multiple 80 mm fans blowing directly on the card...

    MSI RTX 2070 Ventus watercooled with Swiftech MCW50 (New mounting hole dimensions)

    Thanks. My MCW50 has been on a Radeon 9800 Pro, 8800 GTS, GTX760, GTX 1060, and GTX1070. Also, I'm still using the (2003) MCW5000 on my current CPU. I had to make a bracket for it too. I figure, why upgrade those components. They were solidly made and work! My Swiftech MCP 600 pump has been...

    MSI RTX 2070 Ventus watercooled with Swiftech MCW50 (New mounting hole dimensions)

    The RTX 2070's have new mounting hole dimensions. Going all the way back to the GTX 8000 series, the dimesions were 58mm x 58mm. With the RTX 2070's, they went to a wider dimension on the width. Now the dimension is 74mm x 58mm. I have been using a Swiftech MCW50 waterblock since 2004 and...

    Acer Predator Z1 Z321QU or LG 32GK850G

    Not anything objectionable. Just a bit of the typical VA glow or contrast shift. A bit in the upper left corner and a touch at the bottom. Definitely less than my previous Acer K272HL.
