Swiftech MCX4000 VS Alpha 8942

With the Pentium4 being a hot item among the overclockers, good cooling solutions are needed to keep these overclocked speed devils up and running stable. Today, I am taking a look at two of the most popular and best performing aircooled heatsinks currently available for the Pentium4: the Alpha 8942 in the blue corner and the Swiftech MCX4000 in the red corner. Both brands have a long history of producing high performance heatsinks (check O²s heatsink reviews here) and I am sure their goals are still identical to their original ones: providing the audience with high performance heatsinks. Overclockers Online is putting both cooling monsters on the test platform: let the games begin and may the best man win!
