I'm going to be purchasing a 1gb 4870 and would love to use http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw60-4870.asp block on it for my loop. I can't seem to find any reviews on it anywhere. Does anybody have this block? Do you like it? Any major problems?

Hi, I just put a MCW60 on a VISIONTEK 900241 HD4850 and noticed quite a gap between the GPU and the block. I used the standard plate. To fix the gap I added a thin sheet between the plate and the block.. Seems fine now.
 
your referring to the standard mcw60 then? Are you saying the standard retention mechanism doesn't secure it firmly?
 
Yup, the retention plate has standoffs which were too long for my card. It left a gap between the block and the GPU. Don't know if the special HD4870 block is different.
