I can't beleive I have only just noticed this thread..... apt timing as I have just ordered a "Thor's Hammer" so when it arrives I could do a mini review? Although I am not going to install it until me new case arrives as this Heatsink is BBBIIIGGGGG.

It's on Pre-order here:

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Xigm...ickel-and-Double-layer-HDT-LGA775-1366-Cooler

They have e mailed me and told me it hould be in stock Tuesday or Wednesday so hopefully I might have it by the end of the week, I paid £7 less than that though, they have changed the price this week

Still have not got the new case yet though

I have to say Tatty you are very right on the size. its the biggest Xig Or tallest off the mobo cooler I have had in my hands to date. So far top notch as far as cooling my E8600!

results! numbers! i cant wait

grunt_408 · Apr 4, 2009

Can I join I have a Xigmatek Dark Night over my E8500 @4.00 GHz. Works well even better when I can get my ambiant temps down.

_jM · Apr 6, 2009

I would like to join as well, here's a shot of my cooler in action!

p_o_s_pc · Apr 6, 2009

What cooler is better the
Thermal Take V1 or Xigmatek HDT s1283 both lapped to 2k i own both of them and want best temps for my main rig.

1283 is better by a significant amount

zanzabar said:
1283 is better by a significant amount

i have to agree with that when running lower voltage but when i put around 1.55v+ into the chip the 1283 temps go VARY high(60-63c) and the V1 sits at 47c thats idle

EDIT:I found the answer to my question by using my 5kBE that is being cooled by the 1283 and the 4850e that is being cooled by the V1 Idle temps at 1.32v (both a 65nm brisbane G2 so should be fairly accurate)
idle
V1 21c(fan on high)
1283 19c (fan on high)

load
V1 36-37c
1283 35-36c

high volts (~1.6v) at idle (won't even think about seeing what i get underload)
V1 47-48c
1283 61-65c(shut down at 65c)

uuuu new air cooling thread

I've been having my TRUE for almost 2 years and its been good to my OC'ed cpu so far

, and overall i have 11 fans on my pc [x8 120mm + x2 80mm + x1 60mm] and that's not counting the 2 from my Vcards

. great cooling but a bit loud :cool:

Kursah · Apr 6, 2009

Hey Tatty, I'm looking forward to your review, I'll wait till that cooler is on sale, but I do want one in the future...I do hear they're a pain in the ass to install though, a review I read was using the same board I have (P5Q Deluxe) and they had to use the small provided wrench to fully secure the mount screws to the backplate...I'm definately interested to see how it pans out for ya!

Also, nice setup warup89, looks like a solid build! How's that True treating you with push-pull?

JATownes · Apr 6, 2009

Here is my Scythe Mugen 2 in action. I LOVE THIS COOLER. :rockout:

Thanks!, my true has been great so far, 47C idle 58C load

with Push-pull [without it ill get +2c]

did u fill the part between the pipes and haze them. and with intel u need the hard mount or u will get really bad temps

I put the paste on the CPU and on the HSF like this

I don't think it needs much paste because the base and the IHS on the CPU are both lapped to 2k grit
The way the paste is on the base of the HSF have given me best temps out of the other ways i have tried.

BTW The V1 and 1283 BOTH are on AMD CHIPS (AM2)

DaveK · Apr 6, 2009

Saw a TRUE Black on eBay US for €45 (Standard TRUE Retail here is €55) and his shipping was $13 to the US and Canada, so i thought, the cooler weighs like 650g, box can't be that heavy, he wanted $60 for the shipping! That added up to €91, no way I was paying that. I've gotten plenty of packages from the US, one was 4lbs and only cost $30, even if his shipping was $30 i would have considered it. Fuckin' dick.

If I can't find a TRUE Black I'll just get the normal one (but the black one is so awesome

) and 2 Scythe Slipstream 1200 fans, 68.5CFM at 24dB? Awesomeness, my Yate Loons are 46CFM at 25dB and the Antec Tri-Cool fans on Low are 39CFM at 25dB, might replace all my fans with them some day, they're €10 on QuietPC and they have good shipping prices.

pantherx12 · Apr 6, 2009

Can I join, got a whole bunch of fans

I Recommend these fans http://www.xoxide.com/hiper-120mm-fan-clrchrbled.html because they are damn cheap move a decent amount of air and are very quiet ( quieter then Antec tricools set to low speed)

FreedomEclipse · Apr 22, 2009

hey can I join??? I gots an OCZ Vendetta 2 & a AC Twin Turbo on me 4870

crtecha · Apr 22, 2009

Still have not got it, since I went i7 and all the air reviews said the TRUE was more or less the best cooler for i7 I have stuck with my trusty old workhorse.........
