The Polaris 120 high performance heat pipe heatsink marks Swiftech re-entry into the mainstream air-cooling arena. The lead concept for this product is value: packing the maximum performance and broadest range of utilization in an affordable yet qualitative offering.
Installation Guide - AMDInstallation Guide - Intel
- (5) 8mm heat pipes – the hottest heat pipes (directly above the CPU) are arranged to receive the maximum amount of air-flow for optimized thermal performance.
- Fins form wind tunnels for optimum air-flow, resulting in more efficient use of the fan, therefore better cooling.
- Direct-touch base technology provides an optimized transfer of the heat to the pipes.
- A single high Power (84CFM) PWM controlled 120mm fan is included:
- Being PWM controlled, the fan plugs into the motherboard CPU fan header, and users can either let the motherboard manage the fan speed, or tune it to their own specifications; the speed ranges from 750 to 2500 RPM allowing a wide range of operations: from ultra-quiet all the way to extreme cooling for seriously overclocked processors.
- Relatively compact footprint (Width 135 mm x Depth 91 mm x Height 152 mm including fan).
- Mounting system includes retention brackets for all popular processors:
- Intel Socket 775, 1155, 1156, 1366
- AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, F, AM2, AM3
- Competitively priced, yet with a broader range of operations compared to other high-end coolers.

The awards this cooler has won are well deserved. Dropped my i7 from 80 with the stock intel cooler to 30. I haven''t bought a swiftech product in some time, but have always loved their build quality and performance and this new design does not disappoint. There are a couple higher performance coolers out there but this one is way quieter and a bit less expensive. Install is easy other than pulling out the motherboard to get the backplate installed. Great design works with almost every recent socket. Fan springs work well and hold it in place as intended. Cooler looks nice in my case as well.
