xigmatek red scorpion user reporting in!

man.. this cooler is powderful... the cpu temp(not core temp) dropped from 68 to 44 on load @1.3v 475x8=3.8ghz on my e8400 compared to intel stock HSF


here's some screenies for red scorpion on load in aircond room.... no screenies for intel HSF available cos lazy want to fit it back to test but i still remember clearly the temp is around 68 on the same clock

yup..that was just the test clock i use on stock HSF to compare with red scorpion... stock HSF cant be used to compare if use 4ghz... the temp is too high

hopefully this is what u are looking for... i do think that s1283 is a better buy for u for its price over performance ratio
bro...its in the 1st page

u can always change ur fan to something like silverstone fm123 if u want but personally i will prefer silent setup

eh...when u cod with him ar? cos he told me i am the 1st to buy from him yesterday...then i tot can be 1st to post mana tau let u rampas liao

actually i did apply the TIM on the IHS proc instead of heatpipe cos i scare over spread n dirty the other areas... but the temp result is still around 20c improvement from stock HSF just like everybody any specific reason y have to apply on heatpipes instead of proc?

holy cow.... mind to tell how on earth u get that kinda reading?

direct blow of aircond on it? didnt know that kinda temp can be reached on air-cond

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?

now u mentioned e8400 then i baru remember bout my proc temp reading is only around 24(idle) in aircond room under a closed casing the proc was clocked at 3.8ghz as well during that time

wow...great OC result there on priority 10 is it on stock vcore? but dude... priority 10 is kinda too cruel for ur proc la just 8 is enuf IMHO...

erm bro.... u suck air from heatsink instead of blowing on it n still works as good?

actually there's a review bout TRUE vs s1283 already but its not red scorpion though

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/505409

this thread might help.... although this is not on how to lap on direct touch heatpipe

nice OC result there... bro is this in aircond room? maybe we can ask ham_revilo to test in similar settings to compare red scorpion with this s1283

i did that on my proc IHS n i still do get the same temp drop like everybody else

this heatsink can easily gives u around 20c temp drop comparing with intel stock heatsink but it also depends on ur ambient temp n ventilation in ur casing

btw...my test result was in an aircond room which normally gives u around 5c improvement in a closed casing

nope..nothg is wrong... e8400 dont have correct reading for its core temp.... u can use REAL TEMP for a more accurate reading

well..not really sure for 65nm... but for 45nm we have around 10c difference... n this software have to be calibrated 1st on idle before use.... there are some rumours saying that "core temp" is not that accurate though

i tried with the 0.97 coretemp as well n the reading is still the same as 0.96...so i guess no improvement over the new version then.... but actually there are no software that can really give us a definite accurate reading... back then when i was still on 65nm i always use EVEREST for all my temp monitoring

we are getting out of topic already let's get back with more benchies..come on ppl !! go n get ur self POISONED

better u ask ckhooong reserve one for u...just saw his thread n he is running out of scorpions soon already
