[Guide] Xigmatek HDT-S1283 Information Thread

I guess I lapped mine... Not sure it did anything though... I used 2000 grit sandpaper.

I've got one sitting on my desk... will go in my sig rig as soon as my Nocta P12 fan, Sythe Slip Sreams and acoustic dampening foam gets here.

Everything stock, I'm going for quiet with this one

Mine should be here today, no bolt thru kit. I hear it's really hard to get off, and I'm getting a new board by the end of the year

* CPU Information: Q6600. G0
* Clock Speed: 3200MHz)
* Vcore: 1.36V(idle), 1.32V(load)
* Ambient 25C
* Idle 44,44,38,38C
* Load 66,66,57,58C
* Comments: Lapped, Replaced fan w/ Silenx 74CFM fan. not much difference on temp, just wanted it to be green to match the rest of my fans.

when the fall rolls around and the ambient temps drop, ill OC it some more. Unless i get a WC loop for it.

What bolt thru kit are you guys using, and where can I get it? Also, how is the stock 775 clips?

Greetings, I've just put in this heatsink on my e8400 and am getting quite high temps. This is WITHOUT overclock, stock settings. I haven't done any calibrations or anything (partially cause I don't know how) but I get 44-45C idle from SystemFan and Realtemp and HWMonitor and Coretemp say 49-50C. Clearly way too hot =/

Here's a few pics after I took the sink off, the TIM spread looks fine, certainly not bad enough to justify the temps I got. Does anyone have any ideas to help?

The heatsink was oriented with the fan pointing upwards (there are vents at the top of the case) and the heatpipes are positioned so that the center heatpipe goes along the line that the cores make.

If you scroll down the instructions you'll see the line that they suggest to put arctic silver on, my center heatpipe runs right on that line.

My ambient is like 24C and my case is the Coolermaster CM690. If I touch the heatsink when running it's barely warm, I can easily touch the heatpipes without burning or anything like that. I also have the boltthrough kit.

Can anyone help?

I see you just joined! Fill in your PC specs:

Did you use Artic Silver?

I am having similar problems as cixelsyD. I just installed my Xig HDT-1283 and I feel like I should be getting lower temps. Right now I'm getting 48c 46c 39c and 40c across my four cores. These temps are almost identical to the temps I was seeing with stock cooling. Her are some crappy iphone pics of my case layout. Oh, and I used AS5 and I followed the directions for putting on the thermal paste online. Thanks.

*Edit*

So I decided to remount my heatsink and low and behold, I actually put too little AS5 on. So after re applying the paste and re mounting, my temps are down to 39c, 37c, 31c, and 34c. I'm glad I remounted .

You already remounted but so guess it's too late to suggest turning around your cooler. If you turned it around 180 degrees, the exhaust of the cooler would go straight to the exhaust fans of your case so the hot air immediately goes out instead of being dumped and recycled into your case, heating up other components (and itself).
