MCX370-CR2™ Heatsink for AMD® socket A & Intel® Pentium® III

Made in the USA      patented

DISCONTINUED

Features :

  • Hybrid copper base, thin aluminum pin heatsink: the massive 1/2" thick copper base provides superior heat capacity for unparalleled stability in extreme overclocking 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.

  • The MCX370-CR2 features 236 thin pins, instead of 188 in previous models, resulting in up to 5% performance increase.

Fan mounting system

  • The MCX370-CR2 is compatible with 60mm fans.
  • Best performance is achieved with the fan blowing downwards.  
  • While the MCX370-CR2 ships without a factory fan, rubber spacers are included with the hardware to reduce noise, and vibrations.

Overall quality

Perfect contact between CPU and heatsink is critical for transferring the thermal load to the heat dissipation device.  For this reason, the heatsink base is lapped in-house, flat to 3/10th of 1/1000" and hand-polished to a near-mirror finish (Grade 8 Micro Surface finish)
