what is this??
yes, xigmatek does has a better efficiency in heat transfer
and unless it is alot more cheaper than the Ultra-120 xtreme
or the pricing is the same
then xigmatek is still the outright loser is this comparision
it no like you can buy the xigmatek and add 3 mor heat pipes
this is not like buying a car
-get a car with good engine, and mod it till it's better than the touted better car
when you get a HSF you're stuck with it
when it is 1 degree less, it is still 1 degree less'
Thaty, again, if the pricing is the same ...
not like that la
who is stupid enough to buy a heatsink that is bigger, heavier, got extra 3 or 10 or 100 heatpipe

& more expensive but the results in temp only 1 degree cooler
just like buying those TT BigWater watercooler --> why pay more when High-end Air Cooling can do the job? why go such hassle installing it when High-end Air Cooling is damn easy in installing it
even Xigmatek is the same price with Ultra-120 Extreme, I still go for xigmatek
reason --> smaller in size, easy installation of other hardware such as 4-Pin Power Cable, i'm willingly to sacrifice my hardware 1 degree hotter just for the easy installation --> utterly stupid for me to go for the 1 degree difference when my hardware can sustain till 80 degrees (still lots more temp left)
