Test Results

The numbers speak for themselves, the MC370-2 is a pretty powerful cooler. Check it:

At its default clock speed of 500MHz, our Celeron 500 with the Swiftech MC370-2 is 23.4 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than with our modified Vantech setup.

Once the Celeron is overclocked to 563, the temperature only bumps up nearly three degrees making us think we could probably clock it a bit higher if we dared.

And look at those numbers for the overclocked Celeron 466 at 581MHz, the CPU runs nearly 31 degrees cooler with the Swiftech MC370-2 than our custom cooling setup!

If you're thinking our modified Vantec cooler is a sissy, we assure you it's the same tricked out heatsink/fan we use to test all our socketed CPU's. Yeap, that's right, all our previous overclocking tests with the FC-PGA Coppermines used the exact same modified Vantec cooler, so this unit is definitely the real deal.

It simply goes to show you the power of the MC370-2 TEC, this bad boy keeps your CPU cool!

All temperature readings were taken after repeated loops of Prime95 and repeated loops of Quake3 High Quality at 1600x1200 resolution with a GeForce 256 DDR board. The temperature reading came from the thermal diode onboard the Celeron CPU and was displayed via Abit's Motherboard Monitor Utility.
