Affiliate Review: Swiftech MCX-478V vs. Zalman CNPS-7000Cu review

FeRaL · 24-March-04, 11:22 AM

"The Swiftech MCX-4000 is an awesome socket 478 heatsink, and has always been one of
our favorites around here at the office since I wrote my review in the end of '02. That's not to say that the 4000 is completely without flaws. Its mounting system, while very solid, is not exactly an easy task for the novice computer enthusiast. Also, the 4000 was not really designed with 92mm fans in mind, and its mammoth size doesn't fit in between the rows of caps on some motherboards. The MCX-478V attempts to correct these issues, and improve performance with quiet fans. Today I'm going to put one to the test against the current quiet champion Zalman CNPS7000Cu."

I have been waiting for a review like this (although hoping they used the MCX462-V AMD variant) to see if I indeed made a good decision with the Swiftech........... hooray! Nice find Feral.
