OK..finally the benching for intel 45nm side is done


just to add a lil bit more to vincent's review, here's some brief comparison pictars between s1283 red scorpion n s1284 achilles

btw...i got the modded screw kit from ckhoong too

THE MODDED SCREW KIT


THE COOLER: achilles on teh left and red scorpion on teh right (achilles is a bit fat )


THE SCREW KIT MOUNTING: again achilles on teh left and red scorpion on teh right


CASING CLEARANCE




OTHERS
during the installation, i discover a minor bad news for DFI DK P35 user and those with big NB cooler... as all of us know the NB cooler is quite high and its quite impossible to install even vanilla s1283 on the mobo in vertical condition but no problem at all when we installed it horizontally... but with this s1284 rather fat n tough built and i would say its quite hard to bend the fins for vertical installation although i didnt try it (cos this cooler is not mine to try)

so the only way for me to install this cooler is via horizontal position only...but due to the fat build of this cooler, it occupies more space around it n the fan actually have to be installed a one or two fins higher to avoid the NB cooler




btw, just to highlight.. this s1284 doesnt comes with a spoiler like s1283..but thats not really important i would say

WOKEY... finally the performance chart is ready thanks to the kind help from YAB ham_revilo

IDLE



LOAD



the results i get whether on LOAD or IDLE from this Achilles seems to be almost the same like the one i get with Red Scorpion...i actually didnt really believe it myself but when i checked the s1284 once again, the contact is good n the TIM spreading is all done correctly...so i guess maybe we need more people to test n clarify the results

anyways...hopefully this cooler can get a real big boost from the AMD camp compared to Intel like what vincent said

btw, just in case if u guys are wondering about my TIM spreading





last but not the least, i would like to say thanks ckhoong for letting me to have the chance to test this sexy cooler!

feel free to tell me if u guys have anything to comment

sorry ya if i occupied the space that u wanted to use macam tak cukup place for ur review ajer?

i guess better not mod the thingy...nanti void warranty for him pulak

but according to ckhoong mostly the push pin will be damaged

later i go get the item n see how la

just got the cooler from ckhoong... very sexy i just say

will try to post results asap

ok guys...teh results for 45nm are all updated on teh 1st page already... feel free to tell me if theres anythg wrong ya

need to go sleep very badly now

1.yes
2.the readings are fluctuating...i m just giving the temp reading that stays stagnant the longest....
3.i guess the pressure applied will be the same... if u see nicely actually Achilles SS kit can have more pressure, IMO as long as its tight already then the pressure will be sufficient...


4.nola... top part where?

mine i just apply a very thin layer of TIM into the gaps between the HDT 1st... then i will apply a rice grain method of TIM on the proc IHS

agreed...we really need more ppl to test this cooler...once again really thanks alot for the help man!

well..actually can install wan... but u will have to bend a few fins lor... see u sampai hati onot lo

u can refer to this

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=15303657

faster man hopefully amd camp can give real sweet results

guys..the latest review of achilles vs thermalright family is HERE by darksythe

erm...how to say leh

ok look at these pics (gambar curi from vincentlaw )



the left one is the place sucking air while the right one is the place where the air is blown out

wa..the mosfet abit quad gt punya kawan?

btw..i have always heard good comments from that mobo leh.... very good for OCing with V-Increase (dono wat to call that)

can posto some pictar to share how it looks like ka?

wow...excellent findings there bro

this cooler actually has one more advantage over xigmatek apart from the temp, that is easily removable fan removing xigmatek fan from the cooler can be stressful if u are not patient
