Too smoothly lap, add a mix of soap n water, n put little by little onto sandpaper. Off topic ady la

The best time to lap is when u sitting in front tv or com, watch show . . . then u lap, not so boring . . . dont put pressure on cooler when lapping, just slide it across the sandpaper wit the cooler's weight only. 2hrs damn semangat. I only 1 hr.

Lumpur	QUOTE(Mavrix @ Jul 6 2008, 07:49 PM) Don no bout the amd limit temp but i see u can run at 3.9Ghz w/out exceed temp more than 60celcius.. thats ok i think... But still i cannot get my e6600 more than 3.2ghz... not stable.. even set the vcore to 1.425v it still cannot reach 3.3 or 3.4ghz.. well, i guess i just stick to 3.2 for this time being.. But still this cooler has done it job great! Not a mistake when bought it.. hehehe haha, my mistake, running 3.39 only, not 3.9 Not bad for me, now must buy fm123 n try.

Zoom - Zoom Senior Member 699 posts Joined: Jun 2007 From: Malacca / K. Lumpur	QUOTE(kmarc @ Jul 11 2008, 10:29 PM) So it is confirmed. The Xigmatek S1283 HDT is the best value air-cooler at the moment..... Take a look at this. Tom's Hardware did an extensive review of many many MANY cooling solutions and gave the Xigmatek the "Recommended Buy" award. Performance-wise, it is almost as good as the king of air-coolers, the IFX-14.... http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-co...ts,1967-12.html Its the 'best' to me, half the price of ifx-14. Hopefully sunbeam core contact freezer comes to malaysia, supposedly much better, 4 hdt, can use it as passive.
