QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Aug 24 2007, 01:10 AM) true...additional fan to replace xigmatek heatsink would cost little more $$....so, that beats the purpose of budget heatsink already. i cant think of any good budget heatsink other than AC Freezer. haiya.. y so headache bout the fan...  people complain bout xigmatek 963 fan is noisy because they OC it the fan will blow at full speed of 2850rpm in OCing.. for regular usage, the fan just stick at 1700-2000rpm which you wouldn't hear it if you are interested of the dBA stuff.. study them below  artic cooling freezer 7 Speed: 900 - 2500 RPM (PWM) Noise: <17-37dBA@1M http://www.silentpcreview.com/article285-page4.html xigmatek 963 Speed: 1650-2850RPM (PWM) Noise: 34-39dBA@1M http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/d...63_6.html#sect0 |

QUOTE(Doom @ Aug 24 2007, 07:52 PM) From the figures it shows that even at lowest speed ..xigmatek still nosier than Artic Cooling ... yup.. you r right!so eventually AC is quieter and also won't perform as good as Xigmatek due to different design ... my opinion is my xigma 9cm fan running around 35dBA is consider quiet |

QUOTE(DaRkSyThE @ Aug 24 2007, 08:12 PM) woah, 35dBA? LOL.. nothing to sorry.. the noise level is very subjective to individual aiks, sorry i just got poisoned by the lovely sound that quiet fans generate now (around 30dBA) just that i have to sacrifice on the performance. ah well, whatever gets me more sleep i guess  btw, xigmatek = one of the best HSF given the price  |

QUOTE(waif @ Aug 27 2007, 10:09 AM) "http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2134&page=5 @waifOn 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??  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.. QUOTE(Doom @ Aug 27 2007, 10:43 AM) I think most likely is mounting issue .. .there's no way a stock cooler could beat performance cooler without sweating too much .... 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...just have to wait more review on it ... gotten no complain from other amd users about stock cooler vs xigma's 963.. please refer above.. |
