| "This [MCX462-V™] heatsink is a true monster and it does a supreme job of cooling. I really like the ability to use a 92mm or an 80mm fan with this heatsink. Swiftech has done an excellent job with this heatsink and it the truth is in the numbers." February 2005 |  |
| "Fast CPU cooling is caused by a good air circulation in my casing ( the up flow, front and side flow plus a fan absorbing the air at the back of the casing ). The radiators' results speak for themselves. MCX462-V is really efficient.." December 2004 |  |
| "Con este [MCX462-V™] disipador podemos alcanzar temperaturas idóneas aún sometiendo el procesador a overclock. Gracias a que adjunta soportes para ventiladores de 80mm y 92mm nos da un amplísimo margen para elegir el ventilador que más se adapta a nuestras exigencias, lo que nos hará sacarle el máximo potencial al disipador. Todo el disipador destila innovación y originalidad, tanto el sistema de transmisión de calor como el de montaje son realmente inteligentes. Un disipador que está sin duda entre los mejores del mercado." June 2004 |  |
| "This [MCX462-V] made our machine almost soundless, with the temperature around 50In this scenario we are talking about almost soundless machine as level of noise is extremely small. May 2004" |  |
| "The installation of the MCX462-V™ heatsink was much easier than I expected. I would rate it as the easiest heatsink installation I have experienced with an Athlon...I was able to get 200mhz more of an overclock on my system without increasing the voltage.." January 2003 |  |

"Buy a quiet fan and this MCX462-V™
heatsink and you will have great cooling with a quiet computer.
We can not do anything else than recommend this heatsink as many other
sites has also done. It's a great cooler that deserves 5 out of 5 and
a recommendation for superb cooling and a GREAT clip system for very
easy installation." December 2003 |

The
results speak for themselves. The Swiftech MCX462-V™
is an excellent choice in the war against heat and noise...Swiftech took
the route less traveled with this heat sink, designing a heat sink to
out-cool the competition with a high CFM or a low CFM fan installed.The
mounting mechanism was the most innovative and easy to use that I have
ever seen... december 2003

| "This heatsink is a large improvement over previous Swiftech designs...the changes to the new MCX462-V make it capable of very good cooling with fans rated at ~25CFM and up" November 2003 |  |
|
"The Swiftech MCX462-V™ is an universally excellent heatsink for users that range from non-overclockers to extreme overclockers.The heatsink provides the foundation for cooling while the selected fan will provide the necessary heat removal. It is very evident that the people at Swiftech have planned, developed, and released an excellent product that caters to the computer user in every possible scenario from virtually silent operations all the way through to extreme overclockers."

| "Swiftech MCX462-V™ is able to keep our test processor at incredibly low temperatures, thus showing to be the best air cooling solution avaiable on the market . We strongly suggest it for critical conditions and extreme overclocking sessions, but you may consider using it with a very low noise fan for noiseless computer systems! " October 2003 |  |

"The Swiftech MCX462-V™Heatsink is designed a lot differently than most heatsinks. It has many aluminum ribbed fins which are positioned and designed to provide optimum cooling and reduce fan noise." October 2003

"If you are looking for versitile cooling for that hot AMD cpu, the MCX462-V™ is a great choice. It works great as a low noise option and exceptionally well for those high overclocks. Swiftech has done a great job bringing a single product that can handle both extremes of the PC market." October 2003

"when used with a rheostat to tune down the fan as needed, you just can't beat it. Performance wise, the Swiftech MCX462-V™ is the best we have ever seen. Quality wise, you get the same ultra high quality you've come to expect from Swiftech. " October 2003

Low noise fans yield good performance - a heatsink for all reasons? "Swiftech's MCX462-V is an extremely well built,
high performance heatsink, if noise is NOT an issue (see page 1). Running
it with low speed fans does compromise performance, as it will for any
heatsink. However, the difference between top rank performance and low
noise is only 6C - not a terrible price to pay by any means."September

| "Top
rank performance... this [MCX462-V™] heatsink
is designed for very good low noise performance. .. Test Results show
that detuning aggressiver fans, such as those used above, turns in very
good performance at acceptable noise levels" September 2003 |

I
don't have any problem recommending this [MCX462-V™]
heatsink to anyone serious about air-cooling. In fact, I think it's one
of the best available--with a hefty fan. True, Swiftech heatsinks are
not budget products, as they’re built to do a job that others can’t
match. Swiftech understands the importance of preventing CPU burnup, so
its quality and workmanship go beyond those of other heatsinks I’ve
seen...For those running servers--at least a 3U of course--I highly recommend
this heatsink. Because we still see fair performance on a low CFM fan,
the odds of this heatsink working well enough even with a dead fan are
good." September 2003 |

"The Swiftech team should be commended for doing what no other heatsink manufacturer has been able to accomplish, and that is to develop a heatsink that has the flexibility of being the new world leader in both the Extreme Air Cooling category and the ever growing Quiet Air Cooling category.
