Introduction:
The MCX-VCore™ heatsink is a high performance & compact thermal solution for Intel® processors using the LGA1366 and 1156 sockets. This includes the Core™ i5 and Core™ i7 processors.
Features highlights
- Optimized performance characteristics at the lowest
possible audible noise levels and in a small form factor.
- 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.
- Concentrically aligned rows
of pins are bent at multiple angles. The spacing and angles
between the concentric rows has optimizes cooling and reduces noise at low air flow levels.
- 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.
- The MCX-VCore™ is shipped with 80mm
fans brackets as well as 92mm fan brackets. 120 to 92mm adapters (not included) can be used to mount a 120mm fan.

The MCX-VCore is recommended for stock frequencies or mild overclock applications. It's relatively small size compared to large tower heatpipe heatsinks makes it ideal for space constrained applications. As always, the choice of fan will dictate the performance to noise level ratio. 80mm fans can typically provide a more focused air flow, tending to optimize cooling with this heatsink, however 120mm fans may provide equivalent performance at a lower pitch, thus offering more comfortable noise levels.
