Never going back to air once I go water next week.
 
That looks sick! Instead of getting the Knight I will just wait to get this.
 
Depends how it performs. If it can somehow dominate in temperatures then it's a no brainer. If it's around the same level of other coolers today then it's pointless.

That's what I would do for sure. This looks like it's gonna kill everything from the early benchmarks I saw!
 
I love my XIG and this looks killer..

Nah don't even get the knight. The original S1283 is cheaper AND better.
 
The first showing of the Cpu cooler was at CES this year.. Cebit is right around the corner!!

This might be the one cooler I decide to replace my S1283 with, just kinda depends on pricing and performance. It looks great, but if all that extra bling, design and pipes comes down to 1-2C difference, I won't pay twice the price (or more) for a shinier cooler that isn't superior in cooling performance.

Though it does appear to have enough cooling to take care of any CPU it's mounted to, waiting for results...

:toast:
 
pm me guys when ur selling ur 1283's
 
I want to, I really want to. Depends whether it cools any better. I probably wont until I go core i7. I wantt to pick up an Accelero GTX which should be out next month, first.
 
High hopes on Xiggy here, too. If it delivers considerable improvement over the s1283 I own, I'll get it.

I have to agree there alex.
