I would say that you should get something like the Xigmatek s1283 because it's a smaller unit. It may be smaller, but it's an HDT cooler (Heatpipe Direct Touch, or something). I say get the Dark Knight version because it includes a good fan. Here are two different ones at Newegg: the s1283V and the s1283. I think the difference with the "V" version is the fan that it comes with has a "Long Life Bearing". So, perhaps it means "Value".

Anyway, the s1283V is $39.99 before shipping, and the s1283 is $44.99 before shipping. Except the s1283 is not in stock right now. So, I guess that if you go with this one, then you're stuck with the better option. hehe


P.S. This is the CPU cooler that's being affectionately called the "Xiggy".

Without a pic showing how and what hit? Its hard to tell you advice...
Post up some pics and we can decide what you should go with....


But YES, the Maxorb fan is big. If you plan on sticking with Air, go TRUE and don't even look back, you wont regret it.

id love to post pics, but i have sold the maxorb and am waiting to get a new unit. the maxorb has a knob on the side that adjusts the fan speed. it hits the psu, wont bolt down.

anyways thanks for the suggestion, i am going to check out the xigmatek at microcenter on tuesday
