Jan 14th, 2009 16:58 Discuss (43 Comments)

Cooling company Xigmatek has released Thor's Hammer - a new high-end processor cooler. Aside from its unusual name, Thor's Hammer covers all the basics of today's heat-pipe coolers. It measures 120 x 50 x 159 mm, weights exactly half a kilo, and can be equipped with up to two 120mm fans. It is constructed out of many aluminum fins attached to four 8mm and three 6mm U-shaped heatpipes that are in direct contact with the CPU. The Xigmatek Thor's Hammer is designed for Socket 754, 939, AM2/AM2+, LGA 775 and Core i7 1366. It is priced at 56.90 Euro.

insiderThat is quite expensive.

Despite the fact that there are more expensive offerings from companys like TR, this is quite a bit more expensive than Xigmatek's other products

A TRUE Black here costs around £40 (roughly €40+).

I would buy a Xigmatek S1284 over a TRUE any day. HDT FTW.

TRUE is #1 but not worth the price.

Or the weight IMO.

I don't care about weight that much because it won't do any serious dmg. I care about size more.

But how does 2 same coolers ( but color ) come 2nd and 4th ?. Does the paint they use make such a difference ?.

iirc, the finish they added to the dark knight caused a slight drop in cooling performance over the standard S1283

Seven heatpipes on this cooler btw. Four on the outside and three on the inside.
