Performance wise it has its ups and downs. MCW82-7900 is still superior for gpu only cooling.
My initial test.
Watercool HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ 79X0 Ni-Bl
28C ambient temps.
11+ minute test at 1205/1575
VDDC set to 1.16
Board Power Li at +15
I thought the Heatkiller block would do better on the VRM temps.
Also during my Furmark run there are some low spots on the temps and that happened when I pinched on my Swiftech Apogee HD CPU block tubing that goes directly to the reservoir. I ran it like this with the Swiftech MCW-7900 block and temps seemed fine but the Heatkiller is much more restrictive and when I pinch on that 3rd reservoir hose the water is forced to go to the GPU block instead and the increased water pressure cools the card down.
I can't find my Apogee HD block screw in plug so I had to leave the output flowing for now.
When I find that plug I am going to reconfigure my loop and hope to lower temps.
