cannot la...u are the main reviewer here ma.... i as usual just add a bit perspective on 45nm n drooling for trying this cooler only

how come on frostytech dont have the s1283 or am i reading it wrong.........

ckhoong, anyway what would be the estimated price like?? if its not too expensive and its better than RS, i would consider getting one and sell my RS...

here you go iriz : http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2233

maybe you need an eyecheck up

vanilla s1283 = rm189
red scorpion = rm209
achilles = rm229
SSkit = rm25

already stated in ckhoong's xigmatek topic... i guess achilles have to do bulk order where u need about 15-20ppl to make the bulk suceed... if interested contact ckhoong for payment..... acording to him, will take about ~2weeks from the bulk date

thanks for that info vincent...but then i still need wait for the review and see how good is it....

off topic a lil... if i would lap my RS, will the price of selling drop, increase or remain the same?? (sorry for the noob question)

ermm it can be see from different perspective. Assuming ur lapping is good enuf, it should increase the performance of the cooler (lower temperature). But at the same time, lapping makes ur cooler warranty void (But i dont really think it can be spoil except u smack it or throw it and for the fan). Else the heatsink should be fine even after years. So as a conclusion, its more worth for "Lapping Lovers/Performance seeker" ofcoz which they dont mind warranty AND less worth for "Normal User/Warranty Prioritize a.k.a Scared"... . Just my personal opinion

hihi...since u all scorpion user itchy on achilles
sell me ur RS cheap2 la...haha

anyway...jus wanna ask can mars be fitted with de xigmatek?...fan flow from front to rear...
if bottom up...sure can...jus wanna noe can front to rear placing or not...

well be waiting the "news" from that thread soon i guess.........so r u and tkh doing it or only u alone on the intel proc?

Finally i got some time to get my Xigmatek Red Scorpion Lap.... although the there isn't much temp drop but i think its worth it as its an inexpensive way to get better performance from the Red Scorpion....

This is the before(Top) and after(Bottom) lapping:



Reflection from my Tuniq TX-2



Some screen shots of lapping results:
Idle


On Load



Here is the overall performance:
Idle


On Load


For lapping the RS, i start off with 1000grid, continued with 1500grid and several pieces of 2000grid to get better finish... i have to admit that i didnt manage to lap until mirror finish but i did my best to get the best possible finish...

please take note that all test is run the following condition:
Clock Speed: 3.185Ghz
Vcore: 1.337v
Room Temp
