A heatsink that can challenge the SLK900?

dipstick · Sep 16, 2003, 08:59 PM

Looking at the newest Swiftech heatsink I think there might just be a new contender for the ultimate air cooling crown. While there is no comparison between the two just yet, it does extremely well against its older brother. Check it out

Hope someone puts these head to head soon

And I just bought my slk900A.....

krazy1 · Sep 16, 2003, 09:54 PM

I won't be changing out my 900 anytime soon... I can't complain about 98F temps on my XP2500+ OCed to XP3200+....... and that is under full load.....

that puppy weighs in @ 650 grams.....holly core crusher batman

Swiftech has been a favorite of mine for a few years. Had my MCX4000, on my P4. Ran at 19c idle and about 25-29c full load with a Thermaltake smartfan at 50%.

Yeah, they do weigh a lot, that's the price you pay for the half inch thick copper block.

Vampyromaniac · Sep 16, 2003, 10:09 PM

with a name like MCX462-V, it's gotta be good, right??

btw, why such a thick block, wouldn't a thinner one be better?

krazy1 · Sep 16, 2003, 10:31 PM

With working with copper for 10 years the one thing I learned is the thicker the better it seems to pull heat. Thinner will heat up to fast and not be able to be cooled off as well.

Vampyromaniac · Sep 16, 2003, 10:46 PM

Ah, I thought thinner would be better, because it would be a shorter distance to move the heat to the fins, to be removed

DallasStar · Sep 16, 2003, 11:48 PM

Holy CRAPOLAS!! This is tooooo convenient

. I'm just bout to buy a new PC for college next year, and I was just thinking about what I'd do about noise

. WHOO!!

tek · Sep 16, 2003, 11:56 PM

Yeah, it looks good, I think it's next on my shopping list (for comps that is...).

Excluding new scanner, and new Z-640 5.1 speakers.

i trust my stock retail heatsink....

Guys, you notice the swiftech chipset cooler the guy says is coming out soon? It looks really badass. Check it out in the picture on this page of the review.

It's not a thinner copper block because, it dosen't have fins. It has Aluminum screws, of sorts. They go into the copper about 3/4 of the copper. That's their secret to extreme performance. The copper sucks the heat off and has lots of contact to the aluminum for heat transfer up to the fan area.

Personally that chipset cooler looks horrible

.... wouldn't make it into my case.....

BWX · Sep 17, 2003, 06:47 PM

Man, that's a crazy looking thing- I think it looks good, but just kinda crazy looking.

hehe, I'd rather have something that works better than it looks, although to be honest I have seen worse. But judging by the size of the copper plate it looks like it can take on some serious heat. Swiftech is coming back with a vengeance

Iridium · Sep 17, 2003, 08:18 PM

Franken-puter!!

Sharkims · Sep 18, 2003, 08:11 AM

I agree.

I do however, like the way Swiftech's stuff looks. They do a very fine, shiney finish to everything.

Al_Vampyre · Sep 18, 2003, 09:03 AM

Looks cool to me (no pun intended!) wonder when the P4 version is due?

I have the MC-462A

Weighs in at 760g with the fan

Judas · Sep 18, 2003, 01:43 PM

actually , i'm really looking at it and wondering......hmm....

DriveEuro · Sep 18, 2003, 06:14 PM

You think that challenges the SLK? Get out of here.... This heatsink is at least close to the temp of a SLK900......

http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=1464

Sharkims · Sep 18, 2003, 06:55 PM

Now that thing is obserd, and most certainly uglier than the Swiftech.

DriveEuro · Sep 18, 2003, 07:52 PM

Who cares what it looks like...... Do you like your computer cuz of it's asthetically appealing look? Hell, I don't. I'd buy the ugliest components if I knew they'd perform well.

~~craig588~~ · Sep 18, 2003, 08:13 PM

Yep, I have a childs toy in my computer just because it happens to hold a fan at the exact right level I need it to be to blow accross my radeon. I'm looking at my screen, not the computer.

DriveEuro · Sep 18, 2003, 10:43 PM

Agreed. I don't think less of people that put all these lights and crap in there... Too me it's just wasted money I could use on beer and bitches.
