another red scorpion coming in.... i got to tell u that this thing is magnificent... my e6550 temp drop like hell more than 20 degrees...

stock HSF
load=70 degrees (max)
idle=40-45 degrees

Xigmatek Red Scorpion S-1283
load=50 (max)
idle=30-35

i can conclude that it is the best cooler i ever seen so far... the HDT is just so good and the scorpion keeps poisoning my e6550 to cool down...

some pics for u guys.... pm ckhoong if u r interested...




the old version has lower cfm, lesser life span, sound level are higher..... other than that everything are the same except for the colours...



EDIT: sorry bout the post... just too excited bout the cooler...

my fault then... sorry ya...

but just want to let u guys know the diff...

i personnaly think the ultra-120 is good but its for the price and performance ratio i will still go for the red scorpion... and bout the clearance, the s-1283 clearance is around 4 cm if im not mistaken... very seldom the stocks mobo's NB are higher than that... IMO red scorpion s-1283 is the choice....

better be fast or not later no stock then u need to wait again... i been waiting for like around 1 month plus for this red scorpion to sting me.... ahahah

but the noise is it acceptable?? then how is the performance??

i dont really mind it the loud noise as long as it is acceptable and it has good performance... but too bad the my red scorpion only can go up to 1510rpm....

it is shown in 1st post.... its more than just LED changes... it poison ur proc... ahahahaha

i guess we are the first three in malaysia to kena poison.....

anyone else out there want to be the fourth pls get red scorpion from ckhoong...

then i think tkh is the first la...

because he cod with ckhoong around 6.30.... but maybe u install the cooler faster than him la so that makes u the first to use it...

u can get it from the manual... apply to the heatsink... not the proc according to the manual...

wow... thats very low for cpu temp man... by the way what's ur core temp?? usually that will be a lil higher...

air-conditioned room and naked setup??

finally i found some time to do this... anyway here is a pic after i OC my e6550 at 3.15, fsb 450 with stock vcore and no air cond but half naked....




the temp doesnt reach 60 which i think is great... maybe if i leave it longer the temp may go higher but previously the core clock was 2.8 with stock HSF and the temp hit 70 after just 10 min...

yeah stock vcore... i dont usually do priority 10 but just want to see how far the scorpion can perform... and no doubt that xigmatek is good as hell... im thinking of going for higher clock but lazy edi...

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??

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??

i thought both also plastic right and both also hard right... so is there any significant diff???

imo the diff the both may be the rpm and blade design (the degree of curvature) and nothing to do with the material fan...

do u have any thermaltake cooler?? maybe if u borrow us 1 then maybe we can do it...

u can try to use thermaltake cooler and post the result here to compare... if u dont have then borrow 1 from ur fren or go buy 1....

at least something right... better than nothing....

i also wanna see how is the performance of ultra.... when can post bro??

how lil bro?? 1, 5, degree? if really can lap i also wanna try bro.... but the surface isnt really like flat due to the pipe and not like regular heatsink surface... u get what i mean??

any tips on how u did it??

here is some pics for u guys....

to push the performance of the xigmatek red scorpion i went and test it with my proc which i oc from 3.15 (450x7) to 3.22 (460x7) with stock vcore (1.32V)... this time i tried it without the fan and compare it with the fan at full blast (around 1510rpm)... to clarify things, the test is run in room temp (no air cond) and the setup was half naked.... enjoy the pics....



this is where the fan is off completely




fan is on with full force



the stress time might be too short (5 min) but i dont have the time to stress it longer... maybe when i have the time i'll do it but u guys can give it a try and post more result.... anyway when the scorpion with the fan off, the temp didnt exceed 67... it goes up and down but still at last remain at 67 degree (for the first 5 min)....

overall i would say that the xigmatek is just so awesome.... even without fan it still can perform quite well maybe due to the heat-pipe direct touch which has just proof its efficiency....

im hoping to see some result for those who wanna lap or already lap their xigamatek cooler....

i wanted to stress longer but no time.... when i have the time i surely will push harder and see how... i believe the scorpion can do it even without fan....
