The HDT-S1283 is an amazing cooler, and even more so when paired with OCZ Freeze. Just a suggestion for applying thermal paste on this heatsink though. You want to apply the thermal paste in thin lines on the heatpipes on the base of the heatsink rather than a dot on the CPU.

Also, I'd recommend picking up either Xigmatek's or Thermalright's bolt-thru kits. It'll make mounting the cooler much easier and provide much more pressure.

Just wondering if the Xigmatek can be installed without removing the mobo? If using the retention bracket...

If you use the stock mounting kit I believe it can be. With the backplate you have to remove the mobo. Imxp, it's worth the hassle of removing the mobo.

Intel e6320 1.86ghz 1.35v

Xigamatek:
Idle: 35°C
Load: 46-47°C

Stock Cooler:
Idle: 40°C
Load: Mid to upper 50°'s

btw this cooler is barely audible at 1500rpm. The stock cooler got up to 3000rpm and made this annoying noise, compared to the quiet whooshing of this one.
