@maknok - quick give us some feedback on the xigmatek!!!

ya...my air ventilation is not good...

open side casing immediately show idle temperature to 36C to 41C which is much much better than my HR-01.

who is selling this so call Evercool PC Air Conditioner

i have fix back my 80mm Fan on my side casing...it did bring down the temperature.

Man...this heatsink is cool...

Modified HR-01

At Load state....................................................................At Idle State




My Humble PC;


Xigamatek S963 result




My conclusion;
For my casing,i need a small medium size heatsink where Xigmatek S963 fit nicely in my casing.

Maybe it is not fair to compared my "decaptivated" HR-01 heatsink but it a waste not to test it..!!!

All i can say...Xigmatek performed good for my O/C E6400 at 3Ghz..

The Xigmatek fan is damn noisy....so i use back the intel fan!!!!

Maknok, any specific reason why you modify your HR-01?

Cannot close my side panel lo...

so i dismantle the fin one by one until the height just ngam ngam my slim casing..

well..it still better than the stock heatsink..

i just like the quite fan noise of the intel.

That could be the reason your HR-01 isn't performing as expected.

Anyway the HR01 fins were soldered to the heatpipe. How did you manage to remove the fins?

Maybe my defective HR-01 isn't performing as expected but i remember clearly that the result doesn't differ much even if the original height for this HR-01 is still intact..
just taken a risk to dismantle some of the aluminium fins and i bend the the end rod as u can see.

Using longnose plier,,,i twist and turn and using cutter as well.

and u can see my masterpiece!!

I can't tell how much of a difference but there would be loss in performance as less heat would get dissipated due to less number of fins.

@MakNok, thx for the feedback! I can't wait to get my hands on the xigmatek S1293!!!

Wahlioa! So brave aaa..... If you happen to rupture the heatpipes, then the heatsink would be so defective!!!

I think if he just remove a few of the top fins, it won't make much of a difference. The reason is that the top fins are usually cool! Even on my noctua, at core temp of 60'c, the top fins are still cool.....

yalor ...not much difference and i have just broken one of the heatpipe to show that Polar_012 theory is wrong...!!
see the broken heatpipe....there goes my HR-01!!



now my heatsink really defective!!!!

The inner part of that heatpipe you broke is porous for the sole purpose of capilary function so that the fluid would flow back to it's original state despite gravity.

like that ar..

then i will saw off the bottom heat pipe tomolo at my working place
interested to know further if your theory is right!!


learning new thing everyday!!!

Wah bro, that will totally destroy your heatsink

Oops...think my heatsink is doomed alreadi.
forgot to bring the heatsink to working place.
it survive another day!!

Hey, if you're seriously thinking about experimenting, here's a suggestion to see whether the heatpipes work or not.

Just saw off all the top tubings, you know, like your broken tubing. Then turn it upside down just to make sure there's nothing in it.

If your theory is right, then the heatsink will still function as before..... But I doubt it.....

Kesian heatsink ini~

Alright! Here's another review of the xigmatek S963. Not a bad performer considering that it is the 92mm version.

I wished there were other reviews on the S1263.....

*i'm not pro in OCing ..i will let profresional reviewers to do the work soon..

Nice. The HSF looks nice but your lighting is superb! Like professional photographer!!!

Err.... the temperature is for the S963 or S1283?
