i think i'm gonna buy the Xigmatek for testing purposes too la for my FX-60 (old, but i guess, still acceptable aight...?), wondering if it on par with my belove HR-01

ok picture uploaded

aiyak cant already.... ultra extreme not with me anymore

i suggest u not to get it 1st.... having some issue with the mounting on 939 mobos.... still need sometime to do the testing for amd
will post some results later the seller is liasing with the manfacturer regarding this matter as well

, owh really... well, actually, i do wanted to test it out on S-939 mobo, or maybe can loan some of Xigmatek

Thx for the pictures!!!

Look at the base. The noctua has the thickest base and the heatpipes are high up. The TR's heatpipes are quite near the base but nothing can beat the HDT's base!!!

The noctua is also relatively bulkier as compared to the other two. Which one is wider? I think the TR is wider than the Xigmatek, right?

Imagine the efficiency of the HDT, 3 heatpipes can be on par with conventional 6-heatpipe designs....

sup3rfly , may I know that before u mount the cooler, u applied the TIM on the IHS of the processor or on the base of the cooler?

for noctua and TR i apply on IHS but xigmatek i apply on the base as instruct by the manual

The Xigmatek heatpipes have a bigger radius.

haizz..nice temp for newer hsf..put it tuniq oso la bro..gonna c the result for those

bro u havent answered my question

can save me the hassle when putting the HSF and NC-U6 later

nice quick comparisons, bro

but u forget to test the result for OC environment, which most of us usually do, OC OC OC hehe

never thought xigmatek can be on par with ultra120Ex, let alone better it...

btw, i apply 3 stripes of TIM on the HSF base and another "spiral" shape on my cpu. wonder it perform worst or better as my AS5 pretty sticky. expired already? lol

now i'm really happy as my e6600 really cooled down way lower than my ex-athlon, at 32C idle! using push-pull config at silent mode!

its OCed system la bro... not stock speed at least
dont want to push it so high need time to make it stable la

haha..gud jobs bro..planning to sell the hsf after testing??..if yes then pls let me know ya..mayb will change my current hsf..

Nice comparisons..
i always thought Ultra120Ex is the king..
Xigmatek looks likes the new champ..

As usual from you, bro... High quality and detail review.

i dont have any of them bro....i borrowed them to test oni

well my test is not 100% correct but both cooler performs well

thx bro for the compliment

nice review superfly, enjoyed the poisons from ur old review too btw, and was a comfort that my tt bt vx was the winner. but the new poisons from this review is hard to resist... omg xigmatek >_<

what retension bracket they using btw? the old 775 pushpins? if they using something different then i may straight away go for it and sell off my tt bt vx
/hate 775 pushpins

and thanks again for the help last time along with shawty hehe, manage to settle down my temp issues and i have a stable 3.25 ghz qx6700 running at 40c pc probe and 60c coretemp vs the horrendous 50-60 pc probe and 70-80+c on core temp. still need a lot of work though, mainly from cleaning the leftover residues on the heatsink/cpu heatspreader. but no arctic cleaner or any alternatives available

well its pushpin as well...but during the testing i was using water cooling kind of mounting
as for the arctic cleaner u may wanna try minyak cap kapak.... its a lil oily but it does work.... just apply a lil on the ihs...dun too much

same exact 775 push pin? and yea really wanna get those mounting someday, from sunway right? ><

for the cleaner, not to doubt you but you sure or not, i thought minyak cap kapak is well, oil, and it would have left over oil residues?

that i m not sure...didnt check the temp after use hahaha
well its the same as intel stock push pin about the mounting u better get the from the link i show u the same as the dtek fuzion mouting that will be better.... the reason is because we cant find those plastic washer anywhere here....

heh k k thanks again
