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

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.

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!

Manada.
Merepek je ko ni.

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.

Tu je.

Ni lagi sorang, aku ketuk kepala karang baru tau.
Ultra 120 Extreme bukan full 100% aluminium la.

Heatpipe ngan base Ultra 120 Extreme copper, tapi dah plated with nickel, sebab tu ko nampak macam 100% Aluminium.

Product thermalright semua camtu.
[except heatsinks yang 100% copper la]

Whoops.
Sorry.

It's Plated.

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.

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

Because it's impossible, if they use 4 heatpipes HDT, then the base of the heatsink will be too wide, and there's nothing to lock the heatpipes below.

And when the base is too wide, the base itself may hit some of the capacitors and pwm controller on the motherboard.

Then what would be the right sound?

Use setup A.

OCZ + Xigmatek = OCMATEK

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.

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.

Any proof to support that statement?

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

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

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