I initially took off the fan so that I could close the side-panel.... however, due to that, my GC's temperature decided to climb to high temperatures!!! (That was expected, of course)

So I decided to not put the side-panel, keep everything cooler as my rig is folding whenever I'm at home....

Not too sure about the HDT-SD964 but the Xigmatek is the best bang-for-buck cooler at the moment....

See the review here : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-co...harts,1967.html

964 is good... read the review before n its kinda loses few degree c to s1283 only... very bang for buck

Aight, i gotten meself a CM690 so that i can fit in Xigmatek S1283.. lol

Thanks for all the replies peeps!

Cheers

Is it stable for Q6600 @ 3.6GHz on this cooler?

Well,you need damm cold ambient to do 3.6ghz on air in malaysia Q6600 is a heat beast so cooling must be good@3.6ghz

hmm....mine reaching over 70c with 1.45v with that speed

now Prodigius are selling the product cheap.. whoever interested can find him... his link is at http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/720585

hey....where u gone...got ten years din see u liao

just wanna ask, im currently using Raidmax sagitta and Gigabyte Ep35 Ds3 MOBO,

will the red scorpion fit into my case without removing the side case fan? if can, i'll consider buying this one to replace my minithyphoon HSF

most probably cannot fit. in most ATX casings or mid tower casings, if the side fan is installed, most probably u cant fit it in. anyway, u can measure it if u want to. the Red Scorpion is 160mm long, so u can measure to make sure that the RS wont hit your side panel fan.

it fits on my antec superlanboy

been using HDT-SD964 in mah rig..
using TT soprano casing..
was thinking of buying cm hyper212 but after seeing this 1 selling for rm145(allit) only, i thought, wth y not..
too bad cant put it vertically coz im using amd rig
not sure weather(is this the right word?) i could put another fan on it coz the space between it and my psu is not that wide me think..
luckily my psu hav a fan at the bottom.

haha not very active in here d. Very busy lately. just login sumtimes to update abit

Added on August 1, 2008, 7:00 pmya if the sidepanel fan is directly on top of the processor then mostly cant fit. Just get rid of the side fan!!...

hmm....heard ur fren say u give up pc edi wor... why la?

wana kahwin liao ?

Thanks again for the ad bro vincent. I am new in this so pls feel free to drop me a comment k..thx ya all.!!!

i see, thanks for the reply guys, but if i get rid of the side panel, then my casing would only have one 120 mm exhaust fan at the back, which means less hot air coming out from the casing? or does the Red scorpion helps sucking more hot air from its fan and sends its straight out to the rear of the casing?

for the red scorpion users, what is your proc's idle temp when using this HSF? is it always less than 40 degree(idle) in a non AC room?

Hi guys,

The heatsink looks huge! Is it heavy? Any of you users encounter motherboard bending, warping after using this cooler for a certain period of time? Lucky it fits into a CM690. From the reviews the performance looks really promising, plan to get one, but I'm slightly intimidated by the size...(looks heavy),

hmm..i always idle at around 37-40c with e8400 under OC last time when using RS

erm....cant really remember....but iirc the weight is around the same with s1283....

Think if you use with the mounting kit it will minimize the so-called 'warping'. Helps in having a 'closer' contact to your cpu also.

bought the HSF, this thing is HUGE!! and it did bend my board a little, not sure it'll bend further in time.

But as for the cooling, a lot better than my previous HSF, thanks to the huge fan which causes me to reposition my Sagitta side panel glass to the inside of the casing.

i did that to reposition my side panel casing fan to the bottom at the same level of my GPU. The "sagitta" logo were replace by stickers cause it was positioned up side down when i repositioned the side casing fan

as for the conclusion, this HSF makes my PC look more extreme and a lot cooler hehehe

Just wondering is it ok to run the fan at 15++ RPM continuously? cause my ambient temp kinda high, about 30-35 degree since its a small room, so the air circulation is not that good...

will it reduce the lifespan of the fan motor?
