just a warning (not really....) to all that might want to use MCW60 on their 2900xt.
the retail pack of MCW60, has a G80 plate, its also used for mounting on 2900xt.
but, the mounting holes does not match.
what you need to do, is to use the mounting screws thats in the G80 plate bag, place it from the Back of the card(black heat spreader side), and tilt all 4 screws towards outside.
simple illustration :- \_/ (underscore is card with core facing up, \ / = screws)
no, it doesnt look right....but thats what swiftech said is needed to be done for MCW60 on 2900xt.
i've just done mine.....(yup, at 2am!), it seems fine at the moment.
untill swiftech release a new mounting plate for 2900xt (doubt it), this is the only way it'll work, or, dremel!
