Evolution Vs. Revolution: Swiftech MCX462
Big boy with finger shield: the MCX462.
The MCX462 is an enhanced version of the MC462. The round aluminum-steel pins had to make room for pins with a corrugated surface. According to the manufacturer, this gives the MCX462 twice as much cooling surface, and consequently, it should deliver a somewhat better cooling performance. It weighs about one hundred grams less. The fan produces the same deafening roar as its predecessor, but your fingers are now safe as a fan guard is installed at the top. The MXC462 even provides a speed signal with an additional cable.
When it comes to measurement accuracy, the cooling capacity of the MCX462 is very similar to that of the MC462.
Both models feature excellent workmanship and should not be missing from any overclocker's abode.
