Swiftech MCX462-A

Will the Swiftech MCX462-A fit on an ABIT KG7 mobo???

I've got a MCX370 on my KG7-Raid. It fits just fine, and I'm pretty sure that the MCX462 is the same size.

Holy crud..thats one big hunk a HSF

That 760 grams is over 2 times the recommended weight. Give it a little bump and it'll rip your socket off the board.

Good thing it mounts directly to the Motherboard, eh?

I have one, and installing it is a breeze, because you dont have these frigging tight clips to deal with. You just gently position it on the die, and tighten the four screws. Completely idiot proof, no way to "slip".

That's cool, I didn't know they had the Swiftech MCX462-A. Maybe I'll grab that instead of the Alpha when I upgrade at the end of the year.

Edit: On second thought, maybe I wont, unless I can get one without a fan.

yep... much nicer system than silly clips.
only way you could kill your cpu is if you just dropped in ontop the core or compeltely screwed in one screw at a time (dumbass thing to do)

given the average human intelligence im sure someone has done something stupid like that.
but for anybody with an iq above room temp it should be a piece of cake.

i did a post last week all about the diff's... but since i figure BOTH of us are too lazy to search here are the diffrences:

MC-462A. sanyo delki fan standard, some 260 smooth bore pins of .125" diameter. fan screws directly into copper core.

MCX-462 focused flow 68cfm delta as standard. option rheostat (3900rpm - 4900rpm). pins made helical, like the mcx-370 = more surface area and great air turbulence. pin diameter decreased to 0.093" and thus pin count increased to inexcess of 350 if i remember correctly and they say total surface area is increased 50%!. fan also screws into 4 brackets now, not the soft copper base.

as the mc-462A was approx equivalent to the alpha pal8045, the new one should blow both out the water
