Swiftech MCX159-CU Universal Chipset Cooler

The MCX159-CU chipset heatsink is a whisper-quiet cooling solution designed for motherboards with overclocked front-side bus.

Features

• The all-copper forged thin-pin design provides nominally better performance than earlier MCX159 designs.
• The Ultra quiet (18 dBA) VAPO bearing Sunon 40mm fan offers superior MTBF to most stock chipset fans, guaranteeing peace of mind for 5 years or more.
• This extreme duty heatsink, coupled with Sunon's whisper quiet and high reliability fan make the MCX159-CU an ideal companion to our "V" series heatsinks.
• This solution is also suggested as an alternative for use with liquid cooling systems in lieu of a chipset waterblock. It provides in effect more than sufficient cooling performance without adding unnecessary restrictions to high-flow cooling systems. This will result in overall lower temperatures at the CPU and VGA level, where it really counts.
• The MCX159-CU is shipped with hold-down mechanisms for both Intel and AMD platforms. Click here for compatibility information

Reviews

• TechpowerUp - "The MCX159-CU had been on my most wanted list for about three months, so when I was getting it for review I wasn't the least bit surprised or disappointed. I had been looking around, and most overclockers use it because it's practical and keeps your Northbridge temperatures at a good level, so you can achieve a huge FSB."
