MC1000 & MC2000 Peltier Coolers

MC2000 Conclusion
The MC2000 certainly performs well. It kept the P3-450 a little cooler than the MC1000. But as I said, it was very difficult to get accurate readings on this particular unit. This was not the fault of the unit at all - it is just sealed extremely well. When you start adding up the cost of a power supply and a case that will accommodate this unit, it gets to be expensive. The case is important here because the MC2000 needs to breathe. It puts off a fair bit of heat from the heatsink. It is because of this that not everyone can afford to put one of these units in their machine; but if you can, then you will not be disappointed in its performance.

While testing this unit we found some very interesting results with the Pentium 3 450. The success rate in getting to 600Mhz is not as common as it should be. Out of four P3 450's, only two made it to 600Mhz. Other people in the overclocking community have confirmed that the consistency of achieving 600Mhz is not very common. This is something to keep in mind when making your purchase decision.

Overall Conclusion
What can I say? Finally, someone that takes great pride in their work. Swiftech has produced some excellent examples of craftsmanship here. My dealings with the main man at Swiftech, Gabriel Rouchon, were nothing short of professional. I called Gabriel to ask some questions and to get a feeling for the people behind this product, and I will tell you this: these people take great pride in what they do. Swiftech seems to be always looking for ways to improve the product. This is very important these days with so many companies throwing together fans and cooling devices in their basement that just don't work. You can spend some serious cash on air-cooled devices that are just useless, or you can put your money into a serious cooling product like the MC cooler line.
