LOL, my Xigmatek HDT-s1283 cooled my AMD 6000+ 125w @3.5Ghz 1.66v to 38*C and 62*C!

Nice! At that voltage its gotta get hot FAST!!!!!! Pioneerisloud is all about the xigmatek. hes running a opty 165 (1.8x2) @ 3.2ghz, cant remember his voltage but its fairly high like 1.5v and he doesnt see any higher than 62*C @ 100% load.

As for the true, it would seriously piss me off if I paid $60+ and it doesnt mount to the board right. Then I either have to get a penny or a washer to fix it. F>>K THAT! They need to get it right.

I'd go for a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 and a bolt-thru kit.

Yeah, after lapping and a washer/penny mod a TRUE will be a few °C cooler than a S1283, but it costs a lot more:

TRUE - $51.95
Lapping Kit - $13.99
Scythe SY1225SL12SH - $8.99
Penny - $0.01
------------------------------
Subtotal (TRUE) - $74.94

Xigmatek HDT-S1283 - $36.99 ($26.99 if you do the MIR)
Bolt-Thru Kit - $6.99
------------------------------
Subtotal (HDT-S1283) - $43.98 ($33.98 if you do the MIR)

A TRUE setup costs $30.96 more than a HDT-S1283 setup, and if you do the MIR, it costs $40.96 more.

Get the TRUE is you're aiming for 3.6-3.8ghz. If you're ok with 3.4-3.6ghz, save your money and get the S1283.

It is sad. My stock heat sink with a $12fan performed better than the $60 thermaltake V1 I bought.

None of those reviews were well done. Especially Frostytech : TRU beats TRU? SCCF is the best?


Always trust popular opinion

IFX-14 beats it by 7C, so TRUE beats it by 7C.

That's with the same fans and with bolt-thru kit on the Xiggy.

Stock it would be much bigger difference.


For a Quad you would want a new fan on the Xiggy to keep it within livable temps once overclocked to 3.6, so that plus the mounting kit makes the monetary difference quite a bit shorter.

And yes 7C would be with the TRUE lapped, of course.

Didn't come to mind right away that some people don't lap

Proof in a second...

The Zalman CNPS 9700 is sad too
It's freakin expensive for how it performs

And then you have some guy try to tell you to buy it because it looks awesome and keeps his quad nice and cool at 65C and 3.2ghz...

I just ordered a refurbed Big typhoon from the Thermaltake store, $19.99 free shipping ($50 @ newegg). Couldnt pass it up. I was thinking of getting the xigmatech 1283 but the way it would mount on my board, it would send the hot air either at the bottom of my PSU or @ my GPUs, that and it wouldnt utilize the side vent which I NEED to use since my case only has a 80mm front fan.
