I currently use a swiftech mcw50. fits like a glove on my 9700 pro. With the stock ATI hsf, i was only able to hit around 350 core. With the wateblock I have currently have it running at 385 and temps (read from gpu core backside) are in the high 30c's. I have also used this same block on a GF4 ti 4200 (asylum and leadtek). The swifty has two sets of mounting holes for the radeon and geforce's. The base is also designed so that it will fit inside the 9700 pro's shim around the core. Fittings give clearance for ramsinks as well without the need for 45degree barbs. Also if you're using 1/2"ID tubing, don't waste the $5 on the swiftech barbs. just go out to homedepot and get some stiff 1/2"OD plastic tubing cut them to about 2" and slide it in the block (the lock mechanism will hold these in without leaking, and then slide the 1/2" tubing on the otherside and use a worm clamp.

would you, or anyone else, happen to know if the MCW50 is also compatible with the GF4 TI4200 (Asylum)? The 4 holes are about 3mm diameter and 4cm apart (horiz/vert, center to center).
one thing i don't want to do is epoxy the thing to the gpu--a small chunk of it was already torn off when taking off the original HSF (i'm lucky there was no adverse affects *knocks on wood*)
