Swiftech MCXC370 Copper Heatsink Review

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

There is a big difference in performance with this newer MCXC370 cooler, and with this increase it now sits in the near-performance range. I'd be more willing to call any heatsink that makes it past the 40 degree mark on our test setup performance, but anything in the low 40's is still quite good.

Naturally, we were pleased to see the Papst fan and rubber washers producing less noise than expected, with greater cooling than comparably noisy heatsinks. The only downside is that like a Sony, you pay for your performance more than other manufacturers. That's usually fine though, performance users are more picky about their cooler and generally demand the extra attention to detail Swiftech have become known for.
