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.   |

QUOTE(ham_revilo @ Mar 17 2008, 10:45 AM) 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 ? |

The fan on mine (Red Scorpion) spins at 1500rpm +/- 5%. verified in BIOS and ITE Smartguardian software.

Just to add my results with the Red Scorpion:
@ Idle (~5 minutes into boot) 
and @ Load 
More or less tallies with the other results in the thread. What can I say, a good performer, and a silent one at that. Recommended ! This post has been edited by Eoma: Mar 20 2008, 12:03 AM |

QUOTE(anggajaya @ Mar 21 2008, 11:49 AM) bro, wat voltage in bios reading? jus wanna compare since Iam using an E6600 as well, thanks.. and for the rest, when U guys show the temps, pls include how much U put the vcore In bios reading, I guess it's necessarily an important thing to be told. Bios is +37.5mV, so it is 1.325v + 0.0375V = 1.3625vcpuID shows it as 1.360v @ Load it drops to 1.340v (cpuID value). |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Mar 23 2008, 09:04 PM) you mean the spoiler right? 110c ? above boiling point ? I think you need to recheck your figures.it's useful for hot mosfet on some mobos like my abit IP35E and IX38 QuadGT. the temperature passive heatsink can reach 110C very easily during load.  |

Mine, e6600 @ 3Ghz
before @ stock Intel c2d HSF Idle: 45+/- Load: 70 After @ Xigmatek red Scorpion Idle: 35+/- Load: 55+/- The HDD temps are lower too, thanks to the airflow going from the front of the case to the back (case fan-->hdd-->xigmatek-->rear fan) Gonna try a higher overclock, and maybe re-sit/re apply paste (artic silver 5) across the pipes now instead of the current parallel direction. Mayyyybeeeee laa..if got time... |
