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.
-
70, 80, and 92mm(*)
fan compatibility: removable fan brackets allow installation
of either 70, 80, or 92mm(*) fans, for the widest possible
range of applications.
- (*) New! effective
7-5-03 the MCX462+ ships with an additional set of brackets
for installation of a 92mm fan.
-
Quick and easy fan installation: the
fan installs "in a snap" with convenient snap-in
rivets.
-
Pre-installed retention
mechanism: the heatsink spring retention mechanism is
pre-installed, and attached to the heatsink with nylon
retaining washers.
-
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.

Retention Mechanism
- The retention mechanism is designed to prevent damage
to the processor during installation or removal of the
heatsink, or during shipping of a completely assembled
computers. The heatsink anchors to four steel standoffs
bolted to the motherboard with lock-nuts. Installation
of the standoffs requires removal of the motherboard from
the computer case.
- Crash tests were conducted by repeatedly (3 times) dropping
a case equipped with an MC462 heatsink from the roof of
a second story building. The heatsink remained securely
attached to the processor, and the processor didn't suffer
any damage.

Independent test results performed by a multitude
of hardware review sites generally concur in ranking
the MCX462™ series heatsinks
in the highest performing heatsinks available on the market.
The new MCX462+ heatsink is the highest performing model
of the MCX462™ product
line.
Suggested fans.
Due to the wide variations in user preferences, needs and
applications, the MCX462+ is sold without fan. The following
are general guidelines for fan selection:
- Non overclocked processors: 25 to ~40 CFM
- Overclocked processors, and extreme thermal loads: 45
CFM and beyond
