Swiftech Mcx159-r chipset cooler


Please click on thumbnails to get bigger pictures

Here we have two pictures of it mounted so you can see from different angles.

Testing:

Testing was done on the following rig:

Albatron Px875p Pro
Intel 2,4ghz (800 mhz)
Corsair 512 mb 3700DDR
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT
Liteon 16*10*40 CDRW
Maxtor 20 gb 7200 rpm

Testing was done under 2,4 Ghz stock speed and 2,5 Ghz overclocked. Full temps were taken after running Sisoft Sandra 2004 burn in program.





We can see on the test results that there is a pretty big difference on the stock and Swiftech heatsink even without a fan. There is a fairly big gap and this might give you the chance to push out abit more from your cpu...

Conclusion:

The numbers speak for themselves. This chipset cooler is better than the stock coolers. With the fan running you still have an extremely quiet system which is very good since this is a good choice even for quiet systems. The documentation is good and installation is a piece of cake. The only potential flaw is that the clip system for the P4 boards feels a bit loose, but in reality it's not. Just something I had to mention so you would be aware. The cost might be slightly high since this product goes for around 35$ here in Sweden- but it costs to be on top of things :) All in all we give this 5 out of 5 and a recommendation for extreme performance.

Pros:

+ Extreme cooling
+ Easy to install
+ Good documentation
+ Well packed
+ Quiet fan

Cons:

- A bit pricey


Red&Blackness gives it 5 out of 5 dots
