lingloong not selling this crosbow ah atm?

A question here guys, new to Xigmatek HSF here (long time since i research about HSF). Just wondering, which is better : S1283 DK or the S1284? And can both of them mount 2 fan for push pull configuration? How many fan clips that it comes with? Are they purchasable seperately?

Thanks.

LGA1156 bracket/Crossbow not yet available, coming soon with Frostbit and some Blue Xiggy fan

eh guys...those using the crossbow kit....the one with the backplates... especially the new DK backplates...

does ur backplate get hot? mine does.

A little warm to touch...
Not that hot...

Hi,

DK come with Crossbow only. S1284 originally using push pin. Fan clip(rubber) can be purchase separately for additional 2nd fan ~ XIGMATEK Rubber (AFK-R5251)
Personally, IF you want the "look" and performance, go for DK. Otherwise if only performance, S1284 is sufficient. Coz S1284 is cheaper than DK

hi there, can anyone let me know where can i buy the mounting brackets for xigmatek S1283. for intel LGA 775, core 2 quad processor.
if got the latest price also better.

Thanks.

Thanks for the tips. But what is a Crossbow? Got no idea on all these terms here I am thinking about getting the DK to do Push - Pull configuration but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. LOL..And i saw some reviews saying the S1283 are sometimes better than the S1284 when it comes to certain cpu brands due to surface contacts. Are they true?

crossbow is basically the mounting kit for th tower coolers that uses a backplate and screws for "better" contact.

most of the coolers (especially for intel) uses the push pins...the crossbow replaces it so u get "better" contact between hsf and cpu..

sry..forgot..later i cum back with picture k?

And one more advantages is that it prevent your motherboard from "bending" that usually caused by push pin coolers. It act as an support for all the coolers "legs"
The different in term of performance between DK and normal S1283 is nominal. Other issue need to be taken in account like TIM application, casing airflow and ambient temperature.

any red scorpion review by forum members?

In term of performance, both is decent cooler. But for me, RS look is more appealing compared to "pale" look for the Hyper 212 Plus with "vanilla" black fan. Depend on your usage due to Hyper 212 Plus can support LGA775/1156/1366. For RS, you need to purchase the Crossbow separately. As I'm still sticking on C2D (LGA775), I'm very satisfied with my RS now with Crossbow. Can cool down my E8400 even @ 3.6Ghz significantly

no1 talked bout dis cooler?

balder SD1283.damm shiny surface lol
