Hmm, another heatsink that uses the concept of direct contact of heatpipe to the processor.

doubt it will be that good because the surface will not be that flat no matter how well it is lapped.

Copper's heat conductivity is at least 30% more than aluminium.But really, if anyone wants to be extreme, use a silver plate. Silver is the best heat and electrical conductor for any single metal at room temperature. At least 10% better than copper. |

Silver is not the best heat conductor. See here : http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/tables/thrcn.html

But yes, diamond is the best solid heat conductor known-a damned expensive one at that. There might be better ones, but only under very specific conditions. In any case, a typical heatpipe actually has better heat conductivity than any pure metal, but the heatpipe orientation and temperature range matters a lot in that aspect. Added on May 29, 2007, 11:11 pmAnd yes, thanks for the table. So to set the figure exactly, copper conducts heat 87% better than aluminium, and silver conducts heat 5% better than copper and 98% better than aluminium This post has been edited by lohwenli: May 29 2007, 11:11 PM |

I've known from the start that this kind of heatsink that uses direct contact between heatpipe and processor's have a good performance.
What we need now is more end user reviews. |

copper is good in absorbing heat but its very hard to disperse heat... at least harder than alu, thats the reason why they use alu fins... i think that the reason
 well here is my logic... the copper base and heatpipe absorb the heat from the processor and then transfer them to the alu fin and the fan will cool down the fins.... correct me if i am wrong  This post has been edited by sup3rfly: May 30 2007, 10:55 AM |

There is no such thing as heat attractivity. And the specific heat capacity has little effect on losing heat, only effects the time it takes for thermal conditions to equalise (aka hysteresis).well here is my logic... the copper base and heatpipe absorb the heat from the processor and then transfer them to the alu fin and the fan will cool down the fins.... correct me if i am wrong The proper answer is-density. Aluminium is much, much lighter than copper for the same volume, and you can easily put a hell lot of thin fins and increase the surface area without a significant increase in weight. And with that much surface area, the lower heat conductivity of aluminium can be minimised. Using a similar design in copper will significantly increase the weight of the heatsink, those who own all copper heatsinks should know this quite well. Dropping on your foot one of those all-copper heatsinks which are huge enough to perform equally to their aluminium fin counterparts will really hurt, and I'm not talking about the damage to the heatsink  Heatpipes on the other hand, are made of copper because it is absolutely critical for the heat be conducted to the fins, or else why even put fins at all? The non-heatpiped heatsinks suffer this problem-heat is not well distributed to most of the fins, and even on the same fin its hard to conduct heat from one end to another due to the low thickness of the fins. |

But it will be only by a slight margin, which will not be worthwhile considering the weight. You can see this clearly in XP90 vs XP-90c. The winner isn't terribly clear, because the high conductivity of the heatpipes already distibutes heat very well to the fins.The discussions were theorectical and what we need are hard facts.

I know heatsink manufacturers have a tendency to use a design that takes up less space for copper heatsinks due to weight, which usually results in fins close together (which gives damn good cooling with high cfm, but hopelessly bad cooling at low cfm). Has anyone tried out the XP-90 and XP-90c with a variety of different fans? |

This cooler has a lot of space between the heatpipes and the heatsink base (especially at the base). Would it help if these dead spaces were closed up? I mean solder it up or put thermal paste?
As with other heatsinks, I notice there is a flat surface at the base. Have been wondering whether cooling would be improved if one were to stick a heatsink over the base.... |

The flatness probably does affect the heatsink's effectiveness. But contrary to most people's perception, thermal paste actually has very bad thermal conductivity compared to metal-so filling the gaps with thermal paste would probably have not much effect.
Filling it with solder however, might be a good idea as it would allow better heat transfer from the IHS to the heatpipes (more area). BUT, there's a huge risk... http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=270141&hl= Off topic, I think sticking a small heatsink on the flat base of larget heatsinks would have minimal effect. It would be hard to get good thermal contact unless you lapped both surfaces to match, and the bigger heatsink would already be doing a good job of transferring heat away, a conventional heatsink would be insignificant by comparision. Even the best non-heatpiped heatsinks struggle to deal with 80W and above, noisy, high power fans would be required. This post has been edited by lohwenli: Jun 1 2007, 07:45 PM |

Errr.... the link is to a sony mp3 player la
 One thing about this cooler is the uneven distribution of heat. I mean, since aluminium is different to copper in terms of heat conductivity and heat specific, this would create different temperature on the IHS. You know, one stripe of hotter area and one stripe of cooler area. Well, I guess not so much on the proc itself as the IHS is the one with differential temperature but would it be good for the proc? |

Yeah, that would be the case, alternating cool and hot strips of area on the IHS. But anyway heat production on the processor die is by no means uniform to start with, and the processor die is pretty small even when compared to the IHS. So I guess there would be no real effect of uneven cooling. |

I knew it!
I knew from the start that the heatpipe direct touch is the best! Seriously, if you think deeply enough, the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is the real winner! Why? Okay, how many heatpipe does Ultra 120 Extreme uses? It's 6 U Heatpipe! And how many heatpipe does Xigmatek HDT-S1283 use? It's 3 U heatpipe!  Look at that! Ultra 120 Extreme uses double the number of heatpipe compared to Xigmatek HDT-S1283, but Ultra 120 Extreme can only cool 1 degrees cooler than Xigmatek HDT-S1283. Isn't that kinda pathetic?  Can you imagine the peformance of Xigmatek HDT-S1283 if it uses the same number of heatpipe just like what Ultra 120 uses?  Seriously, the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is the clear winner! I love HDT (Heat-pipe Direct Touch) technology! This post has been edited by sHawTY: Jul 4 2007, 07:48 AM |

Thermalright punya product diorang guna copper heatpipe, but the heatpipes & the base has been plated with nickel. Sebab tu ko nampak the whole heatsink macam fully 100% aluminium. It's just the same with most heatsink in the market nowadays. The reason why they plated the heatpipe & the base with nickel is because they don't want the heatpipe and the base to oxidized and with fully 100% aluminium look, dia nampak lagi kemas dan lebih professional.

Xigmatek and ThermalRight
, both of them are good product i must say, Xigmatek the ; smaller Ultra-120 Extreme on the other hand... the "100%" Aluminium ; bigger... but, hell i'd go for Xigmatek because of it's size  |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 4 2007, 09:26 AM) Ni lagi sorang, aku ketuk kepala karang baru tau. thermalright bukan anodise ler...plated dengan nikel. Ultra 120 Extreme bukan full 100% aluminium la. Heatpipe ngan base Ultra 120 Extreme copper, tapi dah anodized, sebab tu ko nampak macam 100% Aluminium. Product thermalright semua camtu. [except heatsinks yang 100% copper la] |

Sadly, xigmatek doesnot product any chipset cooler.
Would love if one company were to make one chipset cooler that uses the HDT technology with two heatpipes. There's already one chipset cooler that utilize the HDT technology, but it only uses 1 heatpipe. It's PCCooler HB-771s Northbridge Cooler. It would be better though if xigmatek produces on CPU heatsink that uses the HDT technology that utilize 6 heatpipes. Wondering how good will it performs with 6 heatpipes & HDT technology. |

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 ... |

Ultra-120 eXtreme
外觀精緻,焊工用心的藝術品,憑藉著6支大型熱導管和高效能的散熱機制,坐擁空冷之王的寶座Ultra-120 eXtreme當之無愧! 優點: 此顆散熱器效能寬廣,適合全域的使用,尤其重度超頻效果越佳! 缺點: 價格高,扣具壓力磅數極高,不易安裝...必須小心鎖合切勿用蠻力喔! HDT-S1283 價格便宜,C/P值佳...創新的HDT技術,可畏帶來散熱界的突破! 優點: 長期使用於直立機殼,不易造成變形與脫落!橡膠固定柱有助減少風扇共振產生的噪音! 缺點: 內附的intel式按鍵扣具,易使主板LGA775 socket座因PCB變形而導致錫裂接觸不良,建議加購強化背版與扣具 noctua NH-U12F 歐洲時尚造型,精緻安全的設計,不會割手! 優點: 靜音取向,美觀討喜,好安裝...重度超頻搭配雙暴力扇亦能坐擁空冷之寶座! 缺點: 價格稍高,單風扇極限表現普通.... Tower 這老牌的過氣王者...特色就是衝極限啦! 優點: 裸測時快速徒手架平台,不需起子! 缺點: 重量之王,不適合直立小機殼,風扇內置不能加裝,體積過大易干涉主板熱導管(GA P35-DQ6) 最後祝大家用的愉快 |

i only concern bout how user going to clean up the TIM after removing the HSF from proc. those small gap are hard to clean. even dip in alcohol wont help much.
another vote for DHT:thumb: how much does this one cost? i'm still deciding on Ultra120Extreme, IFX14, Tuniq and now, HDT-S1283. Does this one pWn IFX14? This post has been edited by toughnut: Jul 5 2007, 06:28 PM |

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 the link ; http://www.cyberguys.com/templates/searchd...?productID=6423 i have fix back my 80mm Fan on my side casing...it did bring down the temperature. Man...this heatsink is cool... [[[[[[[[[[[Neon Crab Cooler with "Shawty Bling Bling"]]]]]]]]]] ((((((My Modified HR-01 with Ori Intel Fan Glue)))))) *********Tunnel Cooling System******* 
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!!!! This post has been edited by MakNok: Jul 9 2007, 10:36 PM |

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? |

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!!

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..... http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?...eid=2134&page=1 |

Here's a new review on the xigmatek S963 : http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/coolers/d...k-hdt-s963.html
It even beats a scythe infinity in a closed system case (although needed higher fan speed). Remember that this is the 90mm version with only 3x 6mm heatpipes. The authors did conclude that the S963 heat dissipating area was not large enough to accomodate the Q6600..... Can't wait to see the review on the 120mm version (Xigmatek S1863) with it's larger surface area, 120mm fan and 3x 8mm heatpipes! |

Here's another review in German! Includes the Xigmatek S1283, TR 120-ultra extreme and water-cooling. Really exciting to know the performance of DTH coolers!
http://www.hartware.de/review_723_7.html I've taken the liberty to translate the words (from google translater) although I wished there was a review in English!!! Messwerte - Measurements K = Kelvin (dunno why use kelvin instead of celsius )Wasserkhler - water-cooling Ultra-Silent Luftkhler - ultra-silent air-cooler Non-Silent Luftkhler Beispiele - non-silent air-cooling (? at 100% fan speed) Gerusch - noise deutlich hrbar - clearly audible Sortierung nach besten Differenzwert unter Last - Difference in temperature under load ??? Raumtemperatur - ambient temperature Anybody who know german pls translate the conclusion!!!  This post has been edited by kmarc: Jul 28 2007, 07:35 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

use google la bro,
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...cial%26hs%3Dm4S QUOTE It already is impressing and zollt all respect, which achieved the Xigmatek team with the HDT-S1283 and which in Ultra silent exhaust Setup. Thermalright had hardly shifted the Khlerfreaks with the Ultra-120 of extremes into new euphoria, shows a newcomer, how it still another Touch goes better. Even if with 1200 Upm - contrary to the so far best radiator - which could not be cracked 20 Kelvin mark, the achievement all the more captivates with 840 Upm. Mainly the 8mm Heatpipes has responsibility, on whose employment momentarily different radiator manufacturers work. It is thus a question at present, until the past Top manufacturers will counter with it. Whether the "Direct Touch technology" actually offers advantages, may being doubted on the basis the tests with other candidates like the Zaward Square Advance. Apart from Top equipment, accessories and very tidy processing - in connection with compact dimensions for a radiator with 120mm exhaust - the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 cool Combo offers a good price performance ratio. Deficiency is the somewhat too strongly selected series exhaust, to change although again praise-worth equipped with PWM connection for the current Main boards and the supplement on 3-Pin Molex connection. Recommendation: the series exhaust with an optional exhaust price increase use. Finally the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 is on the basis all achievements and characteristics current Ultra silent front runner. If that make any sense to u... It seem like it's on par with Ultra120X Added on August 3, 2007, 11:45 ambtw, ckhoong, u also sell that AIO Xigmatek? TEC right? how much?

Is it? Are you sure speedfan is controlling the fan? Sometimes if you do not set it correctly, speedfan does nothing to the fan speed.

But, the weird thing, i can't feel changes in the temperature and also the fan's noise. From 1k to 2k rpm, the fan's noise should be louder a bit, rite? But it still very silent... |

QUOTE(kmarc @ Aug 14 2007, 08:56 AM) Eh, why is your vcore so high? I thought the Q6600 G0 can do 3.5-3.6Ghz at 1.35v? My E6750 is already doing 3.5Ghz at 1.425v, can almost reach 3.6Ghz at 1.45v (set in BIOS). Wonder whether I should go up to 1.5v...... who got the Q6600 G0 running at 3.5Ghz at 1.35v, stable? if u r taking about booting into window...sure can but i'm talking 12hours prime/orthos/OCCT stable at that speed... |

QUOTE(RokXIII @ Aug 14 2007, 09:04 AM) Actually speedfan can't show me the correct fan speed, so i open everest to refer the fan speed. Before i tweak it, the fan speed in everest is around 1k rpm, when i tweak it in speedfan by increasing the percentage, the fan speed in everest increase as well to 2k rpm. Try reducing the fan speed to 0% (Zero percent). By right, the fan should stop. If it doesn't, then your configuration is wrong.But, the weird thing, i can't feel changes in the temperature and also the fan's noise. From 1k to 2k rpm, the fan's noise should be louder a bit, rite? But it still very silent... Edit: I briefly tried the fan speed on my rig. Folding at 45'c at 1k rpm. When I increase the fan speed to full speed (2.2k), the temperature dropped to 42'c within 1 minute. Didn't wait to see whether it would drop further or not.....

My heart almost jumped out when I saw this review : http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?opti...=1&limitstart=2
QUOTE When applying thermal interface material to the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 exposed copper heatpipe 120mm CPU cooler, it's very important to understand that most TIM's used with aluminum coolers will cause oxidation to the copper heatpipes upon contact. Unfortunately, Xigmatek did not include any special TIM for their exposed copper base, which is an accountable oversight. While nearly any TIM will suffice, it is recommended that you do not use a material based on silicone oxide for best results and product longevity I checked my AS5, phew! Luckily no silicone in it!! Why type of TIM uses silicone anyway? This post has been edited by kmarc: Sep 13 2007, 09:51 PM |

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.. http://www.zaward.co.jp/cpu-zikaray.html  This post has been edited by intune: Sep 14 2007, 01:25 AM |

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. |

QUOTE(ckhoong @ Sep 15 2007, 01:06 AM) yea.. just a discussion.. I still think the DTH is the best air cooler in terms of price/performance. Just wished there were more reviews.....anyway send regards to stephen ya IMO, the 3x8mm would be more efficient rather than the 4x6mm. As you know, the CPU core is located at the centre of the IHS, and as such, heatpipes at the sides will less useful compared to the more centred ones. For the 4x6mm ones, the 2 peripheral heatpipes would be less useful as the centre 2 heatpipes takes the brunt of the heat..... |

Finally, a nice comparison between the Xigmatek S1283 vs other top coolers. As expected, it is the best price/performance air cooler around!!!

Sorry for pump up the old thread~
Would like to ask those who using XIGMATEK HDT-S1283. Before u guys mount the cooler on the mobo, u guys apply the TIM on the base of the cooler, or is on the IHS of processor? Which method will give a better result? So far, I just tried by apply TIM on the cooler's base, because if I apply it on processor's IHS, the TIM can't spread nicely... Any recommendations? |

make sure three heatpipes got contact with the TIM.
i'm using my very own method, one big drop on the middle then two tiny drops on both sides of IHS. this is the latest product from Xigmatek.  it's ES though. the heatpipes might have problem to get contact with gpu core which is getting smaller size these days.
