Thanks for the link eRNo.

I agree though dima y, the Swifteceh does seem a safer bet. I emailed swiftech and received essentially what you said:

'The MCW5002(tm) series of water-blocks is designed for extreme
microprocessor cooling applications, where 1/2" ID (5/8" OD) tubing is
desired. The MCW5000 uses 1/2" ID, 3/8" ID tubing. The largest the ID
of the tubing, the more flow and less pressure drop.

This is the only difference.

Best Regards,

Gabe'

I'm just trying to figure out why 5/8" throughput would be needed unless the waterblock used some serious, serious impingement. Would I be correct in assuming this?
