yea.. just a discussion..

anyway send regards to stephen ya

i wonder if TR will produce almost the same as the HDT thingy?ULTRA 120 EXTREME "HDT" edition?walauwei compem ppl selling their heatsink like hot cakes to grab it.

I still think the DTH is the best air cooler in terms of price/performance. Just wished there were more reviews.....

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.....

You bought the HDT Xigmatek..?

HDT on VGA
but hvn release , no actual pic at the moment.
secret product

Can't read chinese but i assume you are refering to the zalman. If so then it isn't HDT.

Refer here.

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

lost to thermalright 1-2c but the price can win the thermalright 120ex by RM50++

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?

How do u apply TIM on the cooler base before fixing it on the proc? -.-

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.

just simply apply it lo~
y not? worry the TIM will drop?

Well, I dun really get what u mean. So, u are applying the TIM on the Proc IHS instead of the cooler base, right? But, how we can 100% make sure that the heatpipes got contact with the TIM? Unless we apply it on the base of cooler...

Btw, thanks for ur opinion.

i applied TIM on the processor IHS.
one big drop(size of a rice grain) on the middle and two tiny ones near to the each end.
