has anyone tried the swiftech MC462 HS yet?

its huge, and takes an 80mm fan, AND attaches to the motherboard directly! I was just wondering if anyone has tried it and has any comments...

dew042,

On paper, it looks like it is going to be the best Socket A heatsink. I am looking forward to some reviews.

Looks to be a great heatsink. Too bad that I would not like that kind of weight nor do I have the holes for mounting nor would like to supply the cash to buy the thing.

I like their new water block but I need the nipples on the side so a sink can go on top

Imaginer,

Most of the new motherboards do have the holes for the heatsink, and once the heatsink is attached to the motherboard, the weight is not a problem. As far as price is concerned, it's probably the most expensive heatsink I have seen.

I am still waiting for some hardware sites to review it. My plan is to get this (or some other high quality heatsink) and a quit fat to build a quiet system. The fact that this heatsink accepts 80mm fan helps.
