Info on Swiftec 462

[ragiepew]

Just wondering what people are saying about this as of late, are there any current coolers that stack up to this baby? Also, i'm pretty sure it will fit on an iWill KK266, just need some reasurance. Mainly, I'm wondering if its worth it to spend ~80$ on this sucker...

are you wanting the biggest baddest one out? then you'll pay for it. personally i dont think it's worth it. the gladiator and modified thermoengine and thermalright sk6 all perform very closely. within 1-2 degrees C. just depends on whose benchmarks you look at also. check the overclocking and the cooling forum, lots of review links there. here's a start:

I wish I have the $$$ to buy one of these suckers but have to settle down with a Volcano II. Anyway, here's the manufcturer's link Swiftec

There's an article on anandtech with a cooler roundup. I think it's included. They talk about the boards it will and will not fit as well.

thermalright SK6 actually beats the Swiftech in some synthetic heat transfer tests. With a good fan, you should get exactly the same overclocking results between the two.
