man...that kinda temp considered very good already lar.... 100% overclock what btw...how was my ex doin now? how much u got highest from stock vcore?

arrggghh....
dont ask me bro....cause i really noob on oc knowledge...just really like to do modding instead of oc ing....

bro, thats very high but may i ask where did u get that source?? or are u using one and u test it with a meter or something??

The Red Scorpion experience for me is not so joyous, though no fault of the cooler. It works great, immediately see a 7-10c drop in idle temps.
Only thing is somehow during the installation process my Vista x64 install got fubar-ed. Aiiihhh. Luckily there was a XP dual boot to verify that i didn't break anything. I need to get my Vista fix'ed bebfore i can do a full bench on the Red Scorpion.

Wish me luck fellas.

wow thats good to hear eoma......havent got the time to crack open my rig yet to install the scorpion....

source? the BOX.

but to reach 2200rpm mayb need a little tweak.
i do manage to get 2080rpm..

no offence but i dont get what u mean ... u mean eoma's vista got fubar is a good thing or is it my understanding problem??

No lah, i'm sure he meant me installing the Red Scorpion as a good thing. Was pretty troublesome though, having to take out the mobo and all.

How did you guys apply thermal paste ar ? I applied a thin line along each heat pipe and also a bit in the gaps between the heat pipes. Also, for those using the S&S kit, do the screws go all the way down, if you get what I mean ?

hmm i applied it a line across the 3 heatpipe instead.... for SSkit, screw them bit by bit for all 4 legs until tight to make sure it press down equally and not only 1 side press down at a time..... not straighaway 1 time finish 1 leg...

bro... is yours a red scorpion or the older version? may i know how you modify to run at 2.2k rev/min?

ok since i look at the box of red scorpion and compared it to eimzic vanila s1283 box... found that the value from box and website in different, both fan have same CFM but red scorpion fan is slower therefore less noise, i've edit this on the first page.

================================================================================
2. Differences Between Plain Vanilla Xigmatek s1283 vs s1283 Red-Scorpion [updated 17th March '08]

There is some confusion in this part since xigmatek website spec and the product box spec have different value, i've include both of them inside.
Hope it wont confuse u all.

1. HEATPIPE ---- [No coat heatpipe] VS [Silver coated heatpipe]

2. LED ---- [Plain Black Fan] VS [4 White LEDs Fan]

3. LIFESPAN ---- [40,000 hrs] VS [50,000 hrs]

4. AIRFLOW ---- [56.3 cfm] VS [61.3 cfm] <------ from website --- but from box, both are same at [72.1~99.6 cfm]

5. AIR PRESSURE ---- [1.516 mmH2O] VS [1.57 mmH2O] <------ from website --- but from box, both are same at [2.4~4.8mmH2O]

6. NOISE LEVEL ---- [20.6 dBA] VS [27.2 dBA] <------ from website --- but from box, both are [20~32 dBA] VS [18~28 dBA] respectively

7. FAN SPEED ---- Both [800~1500 rpm]<------ from website --- but from box, both are [1000~2200 rpm] VS [800~1500 rpm] respectively

i only use 1000rpm for daily use..
the heatsink is too good, I even tried without the fan for a day.
cant remember the temp but acceptable since i can touch the heatsink with my bare hand.
Wonder how it perform on e8xxx .
