Features highlights. Optimized performance characteristics at the lowest possible audible noise levels. Full compatibility with all intel xeon retention systems, thanks to three different retention solutions: now includes bracket for socket 771 compatibility. Plug-and-play installation with intels validated retention mechanisms for oem processors (400 and 533 mhz fsb motherboards), does not necessitate removal of the motherboard for installation. The swiftech proprietary screw/spring assembly retention system (for 400 and 533 mhz fsb motherboards) is favored by professionals and system integrators for its sturdiness, but requires removal of the motherboard for installation of the heatsink. Mounting hardware for xeon nocona class processors using the newest 800mhz fsb motherboards. Hybrid copper base, thin aluminum pin heatsink: the massive 1/2 thick copper base provides superior heat capacity for unparalleled stability in extreme overclocking applications. The thin aluminum pins promote increased turbulence for more efficient heat dissipation compared to traditional fin extrusions. Patented helicoid pin design (u.S. patent 6,469,898): pins are individually machined in an helicoid shape, to increase their surfac area, and further enhance heat dissipation efficiency. Several patents pending for concentrically aligned rows of pins, bent at multiple angles. The spacing and angles between the concentric rows has been precisely calculated to optimize cooling and reduce noise at air flow levels as low as 22 cfm and 23 dba. The mcx-vpro is designed to work with 80mm fans only. In effect, there is not enough space between processors in most dual xeon motherboards to accommodate two 92mm fans side by side. Quick and easy fan installation: the fan installs in a snap with convenient snap-in rivets. Exceptional quality and attention to details: the heatsink base is lapped to 0.0003 (3/10 of 1/1000), and polished to near-mirror finish to promote optimum thermal conductivity. Users are advised that while flatness is strictly respected for providing the most significant benefit to thermal interface, surface polish is a cosmetic component and may vary slightly from one heatsink to another. Re-lapping or polishing the heatsink base is never recommended.
