vincent u are really such a great reviewer...
  anyways thanks for all the effort put into this review and indeed its a great HSF but dont quite understand how it could lose to RS on idle... imo its worth the money as it has improve temp on load and this is only the 1st review and other ppl might have different result and i think using ss kit would have better result... too bad xigmatek wanna make ppl spend more money to buy new ss kit .... no offense vincent.. its just my opinion...

now we really need a amd user to test it... or not we really dont know how it will perform as only amd proc can fully utilize 4 pipes... hope alive88 can provide us the result asap...
ps:i wonder what will happen to ckhoong sales if the s1284 doesnt do well... |

QUOTE(ckhoong @ Apr 23 2008, 10:27 PM) frankly speaking it doesn't matter.. now we need to wait for alive88 to review it on behalf of AMD user... hope the extra pipe will benefit AMD proc...i'm very satisfied the 3c diff according to vincent.  we know the s1283 is a very good cooler... so every single 1c drop cooled by the s1284 is the best effort by xigmatek engineers.. summary s1284 has greater cooling power for further oc.. we just need more reviews for it |

imo althought the seperators are thinner, i dont think the performance will improve alot. maybe it will benefit AMD proc but i dont think this change much for Intel proc.

QUOTE(raykoh5 @ Jul 15 2008, 06:18 PM) According to reviews, the new "s1284" is 2'c cooler. Not a whole lot more cooler and not worth the extra money over the s1283. If u overclock get s1284, it does better at higher temperatures. If not overclocking the s1283 is fine. The non-red scorpion got faster fan i heard, but louder. imo normal user doesnt need cooler like this. before i started to overclock my proc, i find my intel HSF is more than enough to keep my proc cool. so i think cooler like s1283 is meant for overclocker. IMO, all high end cooler not much different for normal end user. indeed the non-RS has higher RPM but it has been proven that higher cfm doesnt contribute much. |

QUOTE(cartack @ Jul 15 2008, 10:51 PM) helloo guys....one question here...cn this xigmatek s-1284 fit into DFI blood iron? why not. if u cant put it vertically then u can put it horizontally so i dont see any problem with ur board. QUOTE(ccm @ Jul 15 2008, 11:45 PM) hi guys, I am using AMD platform. I'm facing a problem with this cooler now. try open case and see if ur temp improve. btw, are u using the the stock TIM?? if u are using stock TIM maybe its consider normal coz the stock TIM sucks but maybe they provide better now.my cooler is installed to be pushing the heat upward. on top of it is my PSU, there is a top case fan but which's not located directly upward from my xigmatek achilles. Then the problem now is when i am idle at default clock speed 2.5GHZ, my temp will get sometimes 52 for idle. If I overclock it to 2.8ghz, then the idle temp will be 53~55, then full load will up to 60 sometimes. Do u think there is anything wrong? I tried remove the cooler, clean the grease and reapply again, ( this time I applied 4 lines of grease on the pipe instead of a dot on the CPU ), and turn around the fan, means the fan right now is pulling the heat down ward.. and my temp at default (2.5ghz) is 47~50, and full load can go to 55.. If I oc it, It'll be 50 at idle... I've read other 9850BE users who's this cooler installed and they just got better result.. I need your opinion and solution, guys, please help.. my machine setup is like below: AMD phenom 9850BE Asus m3a32-mvp deluxe mushkin 4gb ddr2 800mhz sapphire 3870x2 acbel true power 550w with panel lian li PC-007AIM with side fan full aluminum casing. anyways there is lots of consideration that lead to high temp. 1. ambient temp 2. trap hot air 3. check ur HSF fan speed 4. did u screw the HSF tight enough? (if u are using SS kits) 5. so on..... ps: i think ur temp is quite normal if there is less ventilation in ur casing This post has been edited by ham_revilo: Jul 16 2008, 01:34 AM |
