Look at Random's specs.. He dropped 20c from going from the top zalman heatsink... and it was frostytechs top five at one time also... So I believe that the cooler will do better then the freezer 7. It doesn't even way as much as it. weights even less...

Also, the push pins are 100 times better.. Random said he would tell anyone to use them if needed...

Basard · Feb 18, 2008, 04:17 AM

Yeah, these are better than Freezer Pros... huge though. Have any of you, who owned the Xigmatek, lapped the bottom, because they sure look like crap. Just wondering what one would do with a mirror finish on the bottom.

that was a thought that came into my mind when i saw it as well, but being that the heatpipes are directly touching the cpu, i don't think it would make that much of a difference.

Hey random did u ever try the push pins before making your own contraption? Only thing drawing me back is their strength

Mussels · Feb 18, 2008, 11:26 AM

Interesting... i may go for one of these.

poohball · Feb 18, 2008, 06:28 PM

yeah I want one this this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835233013 too for my upcoming new system =D

about the push pin, someone hates it someone loves it, but I emailed Xigmatek last week and asked them what can they do to my S1283 and S963 if I don;t like my push pins, let see what will come up =)
Not that I hate the push pins, I found them pretty easy to install but I just want to see how good is their customer care !

Cold Storm · Feb 18, 2008, 07:00 PM

There you go man! the cooler is pretty sweet! and really nice! I hope they can let you know what you need to know.. even if not, Random made up something pretty nice in which if he doesn't want to sit down and type out how he did it, I'll do it...

@Mussels, you'll really like the cooler, I'll have mine in a few days! can't wait!

zCexVe · Feb 18, 2008, 07:07 PM

Great!!I waited so long for this.They are cheap and perform well.But beauty wise Its not that great.I am considering between this and Zalman CNPS9700.I have a transparent side panel and a Striker Extreme hoping for a quad so Max will be 3 gigs or so.Have to consider the beauty too.

Cold Storm · Feb 18, 2008, 07:11 PM

click on the link that I sent, and the same one that I.R.A. had.. The xigmatek that both random got and I am getting beats the breaks off that cooler.. And its cheaper too.. it cost me 48 dollars for the cooler and a after market fan that pushes 110cfms... So it'll be even better

zCexVe · Feb 18, 2008, 07:32 PM

@cold storm.Thanks.I am considering it right now.I have 17cm in the case.As I am still modding my cheap $12 case I can adjust designs.Havent fixed the plexi yet.Yet to paint.Only cutting holes and sanding.So I will be able to fit this with an aftermarket fan.Considering this right now.Cooler is yet to be purchased so its an advantage too.Lucky this case was bit large than mid ATX and made of steel.

Cold Storm · Feb 18, 2008, 07:41 PM

Nice man! I'm waiting to see that mod! a 12 dollar case nice!
and welcome

I upgraded from an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. If the only change had been the change in sound level between the two, I would have said I had got my money's worth from this unit. This is far from the case, however, as the Xigmatek outperforms the smaller Arctic Cooling unit in every way.

Cold Storm · Feb 18, 2008, 08:12 PM

Yeah, I feel that! but wait and see! I'll have mine wednesday and I'll let you all know.

JFITZ · Feb 18, 2008, 08:48 PM

I bought the AIO water cooler and I'm running between 28C and 33C when I'm just doing desktop stuff(also using Artic silver 5 paste). Great cooler and its very quite. Just beware that it was a pain in the but to install. the instructions sucked but i'm happy with it.

link for aussies.

Upgrading my media PC to be my lan rig (raptor X 150, Q6600, matx case) and methinks this cooler will fit perfectly, as well as get me 3.2GHz without much noise.

Cold Storm · Feb 18, 2008, 09:11 PM

Mussels, I believe you will like that cooler a lot! I bought this fan to attach to the xigmatek... Should be pretty good.

i'm getting the 92mm version, since its for a matx rig. Comes with a fan, so i'll try that out before replacing it (if i do, it will be with a panaflow low speed)

Feb 19, 2008, 06:03 AM

so im going to frys tomorrow to return my 7900 and im HOPING they have this... my hopes are not high since it wasnt on their site, but when i went in, they had a few products which were not on their site so we shall see...
