Swiftech MCX462-V

Cowboy X · Sep 15, 2003

Hail to the king , the new heatsink by Swiftech is both quiet and a very good performer ( http://www.systemcooling.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1205 ). I guess it will be there to compete with the one
I described here : http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=228788

Hopefully this will cause others in the industry to take air cooled soloutions to the next level .

I also see a sig that the mods will delete if you don't edit it . Your sig is a bit too long . You can either cut stuff out of it , or resize the fonts or both .

Just a headsup before you see your sig removed .

Yes it is

If I stick with air I will definetly get that. I would then mount a 120mm, 190CFM, 59 Db delta screamer on it.

Thank You,
Daniel

My attention was also drawn to it- it does look solid, but on the other hand it also looks like it needs quite some airflow seeing how dense and thick the pins are. I wonder how it stacks up with typical weak NB fans... because with small diameter fans there is always the noise factor with the dreaded high-pitched whine.

No surprise here... Swiftech has always been ahead of the pack in my eyes. There really isn't another company that makes truly innovative cooling products like Swiftech. Ooh, look another micro-fin heatsink... whooptee freaking doo. Not only are Swiftech's heatsinks great performers, they are SO DANG PRETTY.

IMHO: It would be just fine.......Not like you're trying to cool a CPU.

For that to work I think it'd take something like a sink with heatpipes inside the base, so the heat can be quickly diffused across the whole surface area of the sink. then the size of the fan would become an asset. As it is now, with the blind spot in the middle and all, a standard block of copper 120mm base would just eat up motherboard capacitor space. Well that's my take on it anyway.

Shhhh. Be wewwy, wewwy qwiet, I'm hunting sigs.......

The deadspot phenomenon is lessened a great deal by a good and well shaped fan adaptor . The trick then is to get a 120 mm fan whose cfm is high enough to offset the dead space problem but at the same time quiet . I unfortunately suffered through several months of a very loud 120 mm 110+ CFM Sunon fan , it did the job though

those are the stats on the swifty nb sink. Im very tempted into getting one of these to replace my zalman just because it looks SOOO COOL

I ordered a P model this AM direct from Swiftech because I can't find anyone online who has them yet. Criminy, $58 for the MCX462-V and now $38 for the nb cooler, I must have no life...

Cowboy X · Sep 18, 2003

Of course you must report back as soon as you get it
