"Is this
cooler for everybody? Definitely not. But if you’re looking to squeeze
every last Mhz out of your system, then the MCX462+T
[thermoelectric cooler]... is probably for you." May 2003

| "In most cases, unpacking a heatsink is nothing special, but when that heatsink is a Swiftech, there is almost a feeling of reverence that goes with the process, like I’m unpacking a fabulous objet d’art rather than a part for a computer...Whether used in an extreme quiet or an extreme performance environment, this [MCX462+™] heatsink excels...if you add to the equation the excellent motherboard compatibility boasted by the Swiftech unit, you have a heatsink that takes its place at the top of the curve of all the heatsinks we’ve tested."

| "MCX462+T™ : The idle temps are wicked, 13deg C? That rocks! ..now when you look at the extra temperatures I received from a reader you can clearly see what potential this cooler has in cooling down that Athlon of yours, the lowest the reader achieved was 6C At idle ! :O." April 2003 |  |

| "..An old friend made its way to the THG laboratory in the shape of the MCX462+™ from Swiftech...We calculated a thermal resistance of 0.34°C/W; the die temperature under peak load was just 47°C. In this combination, the MCX462+™ is one of the most powerful air coolers on the market. And this cooling solution has no problems, even with high-clock CPUs" January 2003 |  |

REVIEW! "The Swiftech
MCX462+T™ Thermoelectric Heatsink fits most Socket 462 motherboards

"The
MCX462+™ 's load performance results really blew me away.
Both at default and overclocked speeds, the heatsink managed to keep the
AthlonXP 2000+ at astoundingly low temperatures while under 100% load
- over ten degrees lower than stock cooling." December

"I do believe
Swiftech got it right with this MCX462+T™
HSF. You can pretty much guarantee that it will give you at the very least
a 50-100mhz increase in overall speed over any heatsink on the market
that doesn't use a peltier.." December 2002

"..if you’re looking for a no-holds-barred Kick-Ass cooling solution that is certainly better than most other models on the market, then go out and pick up one of these [ MCX462+™] babies.

"Bottom
Line: For Athlon coolers, we've yet to come across a better air cooler
than the Swiftech MCX462+™.
Of course, you pay for that performance, but that's a small price to pay
for this level of performance. Other coolers may sell for slightly less,
but in most cases they don't perform as well." November 2002

| "I found
the performance of the Swiftech
MCX462+™ to be the best I have tested to date... If
you .. are an overclocker, live in a place with unusually high ambient
temperatures or just someone who wants the very best performing air cooling
solution on the market then you need look no further." November

| "The Swiftech MCX462+™ improved the temperatures in my system by 2 degrees Celsius, and definitely lives up to it's praise in the heatsink world" October 2002 |  |

| "Die Simulator results place the MCX462+™.. in the top rank of heatsinks.. Swiftech's MCX462+ is extremely well made and a top notch performer " September 2002 | |

| MCX462+ vs.
Thermalright SLK-800, AX-7 and vs. Alpha PAL-8045 "...the Swiftech MCX462+™ far exceeded my expectations in every category: design, innovation, good looks, and, above all, superb performance...I guess it's time to crown the Swiftech MCX462+ "King of the Hill" for "AMD Socket A CPUs" in the 80mm heatsink class range; there, it's done!
