Update 8-2-06:
The MCX604-V is compatible with Intel's latest Dempsey/Woodcrest processors (socket 771).
Introduction:
The MCX604-V heatsink is a high performance,
low noise thermal solution for Intel® Xeon
processors with 800MHz system bus (mPGA socket 604), code
named "Nocona". This heatsink is primarily intended
for quality system builders and integrators, and thus ships
with a factory fan. The MCX604-V meets and exceeds
Intel®
Xeon thermal & mechanical design specifications.
Features highlights
- Optimized performance characteristics at the lowest
possible audible noise levels.
- Hybrid copper base, thin aluminum
pin heatsink: the massive 1/2" thick copper base
provides superior heat capacity for unparalleled stability
in extreme load applications. The thin aluminum pins promote
increased turbulence for more efficient heat dissipation
compared to traditional fin extrusions.
- Patented Helicoid pin design (U.S.
patent 6,469,898): pins are individually machined in an
helicoid shape, to increase their surface area, and further
enhance heat dissipation efficiency.
- Several patents pending for concentrically aligned rows
of pins, bent at multiple angles. The spacing and angles
between the concentric rows has been precisely calculated
to optimize cooling and reduce noise at air flow levels
as low as 22 CFM and 23 dbA.

- Quick and easy fan installation: the fan installs
"in a snap" with convenient snap-in rivets.

- Exceptional quality and attention to details:
the heatsink base is lapped to 0.0003" (3/10 of 1/1000"),
and polished to near-mirror finish to promote optimum
thermal conductivity. Users are advised that while flatness
is strictly respected for providing the most significant
benefit to thermal interface, surface polish is a cosmetic
component and may vary slightly from one heatsink to another.
Re-lapping or polishing the heatsink base is never recommended.

- Asymetric pin design to allow multiprocessor installations

* The C/W shown is the heat sink to air value, excluding
thermal resistance of the TIM joint, which will vary depending
on the thermal interface used and bench test conditions.
For reference, Swiftech's TIM joint bench test value is
0.09°C/W. All tests are performed in an environmental
chamber using Industry standard procedures, and calibrated
equipment.
