Extrusion is for wimps. These solid copper heatsinks in the Swiftech MC14 are forged copper. The 16 round pins ensure a great surface to mass ratio for exceptional heat dissipation. These work great on video card memory chips or other small surface mounts that you need to keep cool.
Installation is easy, just peel off the release paper on the Thermattach T411 tape and stick the heatsink where you want it. The Swiftech MC14 is designed to provide wide area cooling efficiency . . . in a small area! You figure it out -- Swiftech has!

Good & Horrible
- Pros: Well, looks wise and performance wise, these little copper sinks are great. They pull heat quite well, and look great with the solid copper pin design. But, see Cons.
- Cons: As the last person said, the thermal tape absolutely SUCKS! Even with good cleaning of the RAM IC's, they will not stick worth a you know what. Compared to the TT A1978 RAM sinks, which have great thermal tape on them, these are terrible. They do not wanna stick at all, and when they do stick finally(after putting constant pressure on them for like a minute), within a few minutes they fall right off. JUNK!
- Other Thoughts: I would recommend these ONLY, if you want to re-do the thermal tape yourself. If you are looking for a good, solid RAM sink to just stick on and be done, these will not work. The tape on these is HORRIBLE! I do not recommend these at all. For the money, and the name that's on these, you'd think Swiftech would design a better product. Go with the TT A1978 ones instead, they work much better.
Good but not too good.
- Pros: Pure copper delivers great cooling performance, and they also look great.
- Cons: Minus one egg for these ramsinks because of the thermal tape. They simply aren't sticky enough to stay on no matter how precise you are at following instructions. Sooner or later, one or two would start falling off before you get to put the video card back into the case.
- Other Thoughts: Applying pressure does help a little in installation, but if you accidentically touch them at your slightest strength, they'll fall off. I figured that if you heat up the thermal tape a little with a lighter and then apply the pressure, it would help much more. Don't worry, if they can stay on for a few hours after you booted up the system, they're stay on until something knocks them over. Heat does increase adhesion by a little.

Moving the heat
- Pros: These little guys are definitely moving the heat. I have them pasted to various areas of my AVermedia PCI-e combo card. The card always runs hot, these sinks are moving the heat away from the card, and I like that.
- Cons: Like noted before. The sinks have some issue with the theramal tape. I haven't had any fall off, but mine have traveled a bit with gravity since installation. Now about a month worth of use in, they seem to have settled.
Works great.
- Pros: No problems here (knock on wood!). Held the heatsink tight for 10 to 30 seconds, I think this is what the instructions say, and all is well.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: You folks are making me nervous! I am keeping an eye on these, will amend review if something happens.
Good design /BAD adhesive.
- Pros: Copper and pin design of the heatsink works well.
- Cons: Stupid things will fall off, not might,they WILL.Thermal tape sucks.If your gonna use them say on a motherboard that mounts face up horizontally your ok.On a video card? No way buy articsilver adhesive or find better thermal tape and peel their junk off.
It really is that bad.
- Other Thoughts: Trust me you do not want chunks of highly conductive copper falling off of something with the pc ON!
