De mannen van Virtual Hideout hebben een review in elkaar geknutseld over de MC370-0A heatsink van Swiftech. Deze heatsink is volledig opgebouwd uit aluminium en in het bezit van een 33CFM, 43dBA Papst fan. Verder is de heatsink in het bezit van een bijzonder clip design wat de kans op een vermorzelde CPU flink verkleind. Goed presteren doet ie ook nog eens: hij laat 8 heatsinks waaronder de FOP38 en HedgeHog zonder moeite in het zand bijten. De prijs is met 50 dollar een beetje aan de hoge kant, maar volgens de reviewer is de heatsink elke cent waard:
In terms of the build quality, the Swiftech is very professionally manufactured. The bottom of the heatsink is very smooth and flat, providing an excellent contact surface between it and the CPU. The pins are very tightly pressed onto the heatsink base and there's no visible gaps between them that could lead to the lost of heat transfer. The Papst fan included is another piece of gem. Yes, it's loud pushing air at 33CFM, but instead of the screeching and annoying sound you get with the Deltas, it's more of a bass-rumbling sound. I would definitely choose this one over the Delta. And the cables are nicely wrapped with woven mesh too!
[...] As for the performance, what can i say? It leaves the previous 8 HSF fans trailing behind, both in idle and full-load tests, something that the current champ, the HedgeHog did before and the recent contender, the Vantec, almost did. If you're looking into the extreme in air-cooling, I would strongly suggest the Swiftech MC730-0A HSF! As for the price, it's available from CoolerGuys at a retail price of US$49.95 with the Papst fan. You'll also have a couple of other fan choices in the Delta Black label and the YS Tech ones. Using the current currency rate, I would say this beast would cost you locals say around Singapore $90. It's a little on the high side, but you're paying for the quality and performance here, and these reasons alone makes it worth every last cent you spend on this HSF!
