here they are.. yeap the temps are abit higher at 48C max fan and 52C min fan...
same thing.. 4C difference..

yah the stock tim is sucky... 
yep as i said will use proper tim on my new xeon quad + p45 rig...
will use MX1... got limited amount... wanna save

mind to share some tips?because although im using the S&S kit,the idle temp is around 45/47 and 62/64 LOAD

haish,sorry forgot to mention again,currently im using E6850.Manage to pass 3.7 or 3.8 but needs nearly 1.5v,thats why i wonder if the my hdt s1283 could perform better than now

herm well bro,its not exactly 1.5 just 1.475v. and basically when 3.6 i just pump up 1.435v.Whats ur vcore anyway?

yeah,i guess the main difference is just the fan.Thats what ive read. never tried RS tho.

Oh.. so what did u do?.. took off the sidepanel's case fan?.. and just use yer xigmatek hsf?..

I was thinking does it effect much if i took off my sidepanel's case fan and juz use RS-s1283.. or better getting Xigmatek hdt-SD964 instead.

Cheers

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

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?

Dunno they'll take back the heatsink together or just the fan I'll wait & see tomoro.
Thinking of avoiding the Xigmatek fan & go for RM123 as suggested but scare if it's noisy 

Does Xigmatek S1283 comes with the backplate in the packaging ? Thx

GTG

hmmm killerwhale can win this? XD

Should you buy the Xigmatek Dark Knight-S1283 heatsink over the vanilla HDT-S1283 version? I'd have to say no, every nickel plated heatsink Frostytech has tested has performed with a bit of a handicap compared to the pure aluminum, pure copper, uncoated heatsink model. Remember, aesthetics don't improve cooling performance one bit.
