Swiftech MCRES-525™ "BAY RES


Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures


I decided to mount 2 fittings to see how it would perform you can read about it later in the review. The screws are screwed into metal which prevents the tank screw holes to break after mounting it off and on. This is a great improvement from other 5.25 tanks I have tried.

Finally a picture of the tank mounted, of course there should be a cover but I thought it would be pointless to take a picture with the cover on for the case. Well it kind of dissapears into a 5.25 slot. The negative thing about these tanks are if you have harddrives mounted in a 5.25 bay and they usually produce alot of heat which might warm your water up a little bit and therefore not get the great temperatures you are loooking for.

Testing:

My system runs around 44 idle 46 full load and that includes a s775 (Dangerden TDX775) block and a GPU block (Dangerden Maze 4 acetal) and I did not really get any temperature difference between my tank I tried with (Dangerden 5.25 tank) but this has some other features that are just a tad better than the Dangerden one. Temperatures are hard to get and it's hard to keep a good temperature since all watercooling parts matter in on this so it's just not the tank.

Conclusion:

Great tank which slides into the drive bay so it's out of your way and also well mounted for when you move your case around. It fits enough water to run your system cool as it did with mine and the plastic is very durable so you will not be able to break it anyhow as you might with plexi. The screws are mounted into metal pieces in the tank so you can mount the tank several times without breaking it. What I found "bad" was that the cap for the filling hole is in plastic which might break after you have used it for awhile. Overall this is a great tank that you can have several different fittings on and you can "hide" it in a drive bay so therefore we give this 5 out of 5 and our recommendations.

Pros:

+ High quality
+ Only takes one 5,25 slot
+ Well packed
+ Can be used with different fittings

Cons:

- Cap for the filling hole is plastic.


Red&Blackness gives it 5 out of 5 dots
