I would check out the Corsair H50 if your looking for something thats not going to cover up the dimm slots, its been working amazingly for me, idle temps at around 32C, ive seen them drop to 25C, and load never gets above 50, I haven't put it under any intense load situations yet tho. Its water cooling for dummies and I think it looks pretty awesome personally.

The S1283 will mount horizontal, which is a negative affect in cooling. I know, i have the exact setup you're listing. GD-70, 955be, Xig S1283, Im 3.8 stable, but its not the coolest it could be...

I just did a stress test with the H50 using prime 95, 16 minutes in and it was holding at around 53C, I'm haven't OC'ed yet, but that seems pretty good.

I got a 955BE/Corsair H50 (No OC yet) and after an hour of Prime95 I reach 44C, here's a link to a post how I currently have it setup.

Wow 9 degrees between the two of you. Thats a pretty big difference, nicely done getting such low temps

Wow, thats damn good, especially since your using the pull method, I've got mine hooked up like corsair says using the exhaust as an intake and ive got two fans going. Idk if the 965 generally runs hotter but you seem to got it down if 44C is right. What kind of RPM's is your exhaust fan at? I'm thinking about getting better fans since I'm using stock ones right now.

Thanks. My ambient is about 22C. I ran my rear exhaust fan (antec tricool) at its max (about 2000rpm) when I got 44C max, but NOTE if I run this rear exhaust fan on low (est 1000rpm) my temp reaches 55C after one hour of Prime95. As for my other fans, I always run them all at their lowest.

A little while ago I just finished installing the Corsair 120mm fan onto the other side of the H50's radiator to have push-pull airflow, I also cleaned off the pre-applied thermal paste and added some MX-2 (pea method). Idle temp seemed the same (about 32C). Almost an hour into Prime95 right now with all fans set on Low, my max temp is at a stable 52C.

After this I'm gonna run prime again with both radiator fans set on high and see what I come up with.
