Swiftech MCXC370 Copper Heatsink Review

Abstract: The only differences between the MCX370-0A and the MCXC370 have to do with the copper base.

The Papst fans are built solidly, and in this particular heat is fairly quiet all things considered. One of the nicer points is that Papst do try their very best to diminish vibrations by balancing the impeller assembly. If you look at the side of the impeller you should see several small drill marks which are used to remove material and true up the rotational stability of the impeller. It also helps to have small rubber washers separating the fan from the assembly, and further absorbing vibrations.

As always, you can listen to this heatsink by clicking on the headphones.

The copper base on the MCXC370 sure makes a big impact over the performance of the MCX370-0A and this set of reference coolers. The gist of this increase in cooling prowess is that copper conducts heat much better than aluminum, and well you know the rest...
