any pic examples?no hard modding required right?only some tying or creativity?

I got a question for all of you. Does this HSF fit in a middle tower case (about 20cm in width)?

I've been following this thread and it seems that you guys are using Achilles with Intel processor, which has smaller area of contact than AMD processor.

IMO, Achilles is more suitable for large area of contact due to it's 4 heat pipe design.

well if you think about it, the HSF was built for all sorts of procs regardless of its size.
true contact of all 4 pipes will be more effective on the larger proc but then again larger procs will probably put out more heat hence they need the extra conductivity.
yeah this hsf should fit into your middle tower case

Thanks for clarifying about the hsf. Won't be hesitating to purchase it now.

My point is actually that smaller processor should benefit more of the younger brother S1283 with 3 pipes architecture. As all pipes will contact to the surface directly.

Btw, I've seen a pic on Achilles after being installed to Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Only half of the side pipe touches the processor's surface.

I think this explains why so many reviews win the S1283 over the 1284 when their testbed are using Intel.

XIGMATEK is doing good job in providing great cooler @ affordable price for it's CPU and VGA Cooler like Achilles, Dark Knight, Red Scorpion and the Battle AXE

see it yourself

ergh, now i understand more about xigamtek QC quality

is it other model face (like s1283, s1284 and so on) similar issue?

this issue keep me one month
just change 10 pieces last last week

I have used 1283, Achilles and now thor hammer.
I have not face any quality issue so far.

same with my s1284c,no problems and issues so far

Is this cooler better than Sunbeam CCF?

sunbeam should have an edge against this

can someone give me idle n load temp for AMD Phenom x4 9550 2.2GHz when using this hsf..wan to compare with Hyper 212

if the hsf comes with bad QC.. kenot changed directly form the shop?
Xigmatek hsf is better compared to cooler master..Yeah
