20'c is alot.... mine just 11'c difference at OCed 3.0ghz......

it depends actually... at load 70'c is very hot for stocks... might not have good enuf airflow inside it... .. so when change to xigmatek.. the airflow bcom better due to higher cfm and the air flow from 1side to another... not like intel stock fan blow facing onto the board

what do you guys think will it bring much difference if i change from my current thermaltake v1 to the xigmatek red scorpion?

Walaoweh..... nice short review..... suddenly become reviewer pulak...

I think your difference is less because of lower OC. The difference would be greater at higher voltage and higher OC.

haha not very sure..... personally feel dont need to change but if u can get good value for it then ok lor..

any review on the Xigmatek Battle-Axe?

But 1 thing i concern about the temperature reading, coz from my experience, Core Temp get different reading from those utilities come with ur mobo, perhaps someone here to clarify this???

Difference between the old and the new red scorpion can easily being seen by the heatpipe, the new 1 seems to have 1 layer coated on to the heatpipe, might improve the heat transfer.... just my 2 cents... =) still need some users with both the old and the new cooler to test out the performance

me also waiting for my xigmatek S1283
bro vincentlaw need ur permision to post some s.shot here later

How S1283 vs Ultra-120 (normal version)?
I Tried to google around seem like they are almost same performance. But ultra-120 got higher height clearance than S1283.
I askin this bcoz also kena poison by S1283...just want to know if worth change or not.

Thank for any constructive comment..TY!!

To TS,
Nice purshace U got there...

From what I study last time until now (not never got real test at all), thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme can handle higher temperature compare to this Xigmatek 1283. I am not sure the Ultra version.

Generally it is good cooler, the little comment about this product. The built quality is just need to have some improve. Do you guys (currenct xigmatek user) agree that the fin easily to loose from Heatpipe?

Wah, nice review there. And it's so cool that makes me feel like getting one.

does the screw spring kit included or not?

What's the weight of the this particular cooler?

Cheers

nope, thats not included push pin is still bundle as default coz of easy installation for newbie
while i have given feedback to manufacture to retail cooler with s&s kit only..see how it goes

bro ah siah, basically this second batch cooler, there is a small revision:

-better packaging for protection
-the fins on top wouldnt loose out easily, manufacture has applied paste to secure the fins
-lower noise but greater life span n air flow fan
-better aluminum CPU block, looks better than 1st batch

hopefully this is what u are looking for... i do think that s1283 is a better buy for u for its price over performance ratio
bro...its in the 1st page

No. Its sold seperately. This Xigmatek is indeed kinda good

im not sure about that too... but im using 2 CPU temperature sw.... everest ultimate/ coretemp...

Added on March 16, 2008, 12:32 pmAcording to majority of review sites, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme a.k.a TRUE is better compared to the old s1283, when a fan is installed on it... but due to the fan specification of this red-scorpion is better and still wondering the silver plated coated on the heatpipe is just cosmetic or enhance performance, red scorpion might be nearer to TRUE, but i guess TRUE will be still the winner but just slightly.

Added on March 16, 2008, 12:33 pmnope the SSkit is sold seperately.... RM20 from ckhoong

well done , very clear review , to me is not short review . overall is good . just u can do a graf to shown the result of temperature ...

i'm the old s1283 user , i feel this better abit . because it's quiet and silver heatpipe

i personnaly think the ultra-120 is good but its for the price and performance ratio i will still go for the red scorpion... and bout the clearance, the s-1283 clearance is around 4 cm if im not mistaken... very seldom the stocks mobo's NB are higher than that... IMO red scorpion s-1283 is the choice....

better be fast or not later no stock then u need to wait again... i been waiting for like around 1 month plus for this red scorpion to sting me.... ahahah

this cooler looks is better than quality .. but the price is kinda high

hehe ya wanna do a graph but only have word2003, which the graph is very ugly. Hehe later go my fren house to use his word2007 to make graph. Nicer alot.. anyway already updated again with minor description..

The fan is quieter, longer lifespan, higher CFM acording to spec, but from the test it only have 750-1500RPM which is min-max rpm. how bout the old 1? 1000-2000rpm?

Added on March 16, 2008, 2:54 pmif u compare to TRUE, its much more cheaper already as TRUE dont have fan come with it, with fan it will cost ~rm295 or so with 120mm UV vizo fan. But luckily it comes with spring&screw kit, else will be much more expensive. So Rm229 vs ~Rm295.
