You know what's funny? I didn't press my 3/8" barbs all the way into my MCW50 because they clicked into place and I though it was done, so I started filling my reservoir and it came right back out at the GPU block.
No, it really wasn't funny. I had to clean up nearly 2 litres of water and antifreeze. The supplied diagrams really don't cut it. There is no mention of the barbs, just how to use the standard method with 1/2" ID tubing. This does no good for those of us with 3/8" tubing who have to use adapters. Now I'm probably the only one who did this, but still, it's a significant omission.
I know it might raise the cost of the blocks a buck or two, but some Zalman style instructions (full color step by step glossy paper stuff) would really put Swiftech products over the top.
On a side note, I think I should've gotten the MCW50-T, because I'm not getting any better core speed out of my 9600XT than with my Zalman ZM80D-HP with an 80mm fan on it.
