On the whole the Xigmatek HDT-S693 heatsink runs a little warmer than the the stock AMD Athlon64 AVC Z7U7414001 (AM2) heatsink, but much quieter. On the Intel platform the HDT-S963 is dramatically better than the stock Intel Core 2 Duo bifurcated-fin heatsink."
This can be found in ckhoong post it self. Pls comment.
Any AMD plus Xig 963 user can comment on this??
@waif

thats the amd heatsink u r talking about.. but not this

i believes the AVC Z7U7414001 Athlon64 Socket AM2 / 939 Heatsink can beat xigma's 963 a little by its 5400RPM fan... but fuiyoo 5400rpm
i see you need a xigma s1283 but not s963... s963 is an alternative aftermarket cooler if you wants something better than ac..

I think most likely is mounting issue .. .there's no way a stock cooler could beat performance cooler without sweating too much ....
just have to wait more review on it ...
so far i have gotten 1 report from superfly about his dfi 939 mobos has mounting issue(with modification)..which the am2 clip will bend a bit...
gotten no complain from other amd users
about stock cooler vs xigma's 963.. please refer above..
