MCX775-V™ Reviews

"..you can customize the heatsink, and ultimately you system,[..] It is this level of customization that is just one of the many features I appreciate with the Swiftech MCX series heatsink. As expected, the MCX775-V was a solid performer.." September 2005

Intel P4 Socket 775 Heatsink Roundup
"The Swiftech [MCX775-V™] continues to excel in heatsink fan design, construction, and implementation. " January 2005

"I sat down last night and tried to think of heatsink that would perform as well and remain as quiet as the MCX775-V, and to be quite honest with you I can't think of any heatsink that's currently being made that can compete with it. I realize that's a pretty bold statement, but I think it's true. Nothing short of water cooling will probably work any better than what we reviewed right here today." December 2004

“It [the MCX775] performed at par with the Intel cooler, but to a considerably lower noise [..] for those who are looking for a cooler which will hold your LGA775-processor cold, and quiet, this cooler among with the Enermax fan will probably fit you perfect.”

Although the MCX775-V seemed to perform on par with the Intel stock cooler, it's actually a much better solution. Both coolers were quiet. With the noise apparently at the same level, the MCX775-V cools much better. While consumers will probably see the difference as no big accomplishment, it is extremely hard to gain that extra one-degree in performance. ..The combination of the heat sink paired with the use of a high CFM fan really helped with performance. With a good drop to 37.5C, high overclocking is definitely accomplishable. Once again, Swiftech easily earns the Editor's Choice award for ease of installation, good looks, and high performance.

"Few heatsinks are able to maintain such an impressive level of performance with such a hot processor running Prime95. There were times when we saw the MCX775-V® produce temperatures that were 4 degrees cooler than that of the XP-90, which is very impressive." October 2004
