Conclusion

 

So What's in store if you buy one?
This unit keeps your CPU cooler and performs like a champ. The well thought out design makes installation a breeze and allows for the thermal energy generated by the CPU to migrate to the air effectively.

Pricing
The SVC is priced lower than many top performing Heat Sink combos out there.

Pros
40.1 CFM fan
More cooling power per price
Pure Copper for better heat transfer
More compact design than most other heatsinks
Clamp design is well thought out for ease of installing
CPU mating surface of heatsink is polished

Cons
The fan is loud for a quite office.

Final Thoughts
SVC's attempt to create a well engineered HSF has proven very successful. The extreme performance produced by this little CPU cooler is nothing short of amazing. This product would be a good buy for anyone wishing to find a HSF that would work on a variety of CPUs and a variety of speeds.

Score
10/10
