The GTX285 heatsink is designed to cool surface mount components
(memory, voltage mosfets, I/O chip) on nVidia's reference design (P891) GeForce®
GTX285 graphics cards. It is designed to be installed in conjunction with our
MCW60 VGA water-block and allows the highest possible stable overclocks of these
high-end graphic cards while keeping them cool and silent.
The performance advantage of the
MCW60 GPU cooler over
full-coverage water-block solutions is well known among enthusiast users:
improved thermal conductivity thanks to Swiftech's Diamond Pin Matrix, and less
heat dumped into the liquid cooling loop coming from memory, I/O and power
mosfets since they remain air cooled. So when coupled with the GTX285 heatsink,
the pair provides a complete solution that is more economical than the average
full-coverage water-block while offering superior performance where it really
counts: at the GPU level!

How to check for compatibility?
The GTX285 heatsink is compatible with nVidia® reference board number P891.
The nVidia® reference board number is usually printed on the back of the
circuit board, in a code located below the nVidia logo, as can be seen below
(example is provided for the GTX285 P891 reference design)"
