the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283

seen a review where it did better than the TRUE

it keeps my q6600 idling at 26c

TRUE120, then Ultima90, then Ultra120 (not Extreme), then Ninja IMO.

i was reading some reviews for the XIGMATEK HDT-S1283. i was impressed with it's performance for the price. for low watt processors just a hair under the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme and for hotter processors was like .1 degrees better.

so for the price i would check out the that HDT-S1283, save 20$ and even if that review is wrong you still got a heatsink that would be in the top 5% and includes a fan.

The only negative about my Xigmatek is that is uses those stupid stock style Intel retention buttons. I thought I had it mounted properly, but my temps shot up to 80c after a little while, now I can't seem to get it mounted properly again
