ocz HDT cooler look 99.9% same with xigmatek.
last time i got see another HDT cooler(南海) which is made in taiwan or china

here is the link : http://www.hkepc.com/?id=26

That's the PCCooler brand.
They are from China.
They are the pioneer in this HDT technology with the PCCooler HB771-S Northbridge Cooler.
That's the first heatsink that uses HDT technology.

There must be a reason why Xigmatek only include 3 Pipes .. it must be about thermal transfer efficiency. But i would love to see in the next revision more pipes then 3 just to see the difference.. Not forgetting more pipes = more cost.

Anyways..im not sure who stole design from who but the Zaward Zikaray looks exactly like Xigmatek..

Dunno. I don't think it has silicone either. Only stated in their website that the MX2 doesn't have any metal substances....

Added on September 14, 2007, 6:52 amI wonder whether this HSF is more efficient, considering that it has 4 heatpipes.....

Yes it is.
It's the same as ICE AGE 120.
It does perform better than the Xigmatek because you can see for yourself the gap between each heatpipes is a lot smaller compared to Xigmatek.
Plus, it has more heatpipe compared to Xigmatek.

However, 4 heatpipes would be the limit for HDT based heatsink.
4 heatpipes is enough to fill the whole processor's IHS.

correction here..

3r iceage performs better than s963 but not s1283

iceage has 4X6mm heatpipes while xigma 963 has 3x6mm heatpipes n smaller cooling tower

and

iceage has 4x6mm heatpipes while xigma 1283 has 3x8mm heatpipes.. both big n tall cooling tower

huh. so many identical or should i say exactly the same cooler. just different label on fan lol. who copy who? O_O

but the real Q is whether all of them perform as GOOD as XIGMATEK? just plain copy design is wan thing but the materials use is another.Maybe like wajalution7 and evolution7 ka

Any comparison on that?

LOL!

probably xigma (or some company) designed it, then sell the rights to use the design for production to other companies

Any proof to support that statement?

so many im confuse too

anyway the ocz are make my xigmatek

tauke.. this is the techspec. consult xigmatek web or ...the xigmatek's s1283 members can check out their heatpipes.. izit bigger than others.. use ruler to measure izit 8mm

I think what we meant was whether there is any hard data on this...... We do know that the S1283 has bigger heatpipes. Just curious to see what the difference in performance is between the 4x6mm vs 3x8mm heatpipes....

does the less pipe big diameter VS more pipes smaller diameter matters that much..? From my obvservation the big heatpipes matters on load.. IMHO.

Correct.
That's what i'm asking for.

then take a look

translate

I don't see any Ice Age heatsink in there.

is there.. take a look the charts at bottom carefully

Okay, my mistake, i missed that part.
However, we can't just depend on one review.
