Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer: Like a S-1283 but w/4 Heatpipes and Cheaper?

yeah, when i was looking at the xigmatek, i came across this as well, and i wasnt sure how it performed. I would also like to know

The Trues are better than the Ultra 120s though...

Exactly, which is why FrostyTech isn't the most accurate of sources. Their testbed doesn't really represent real-world performance, and some of their numbers just look odd in general.
 
I am sure it is as I just bought a S-1283 it HAS TO BE BEATEN. just Murphy's law
 
There are various reviews of this heatsink that are popping a lot of sites. It's seems to be quite new but I haven't seen a bad review yet. Most reviewers have it neck and neck with the 120 extreme as far as numbers go, seems to beat everything else but the dang thing isn't in stock anywhere.

Using Core Contact on Rampage Formula

E8500 @ 4.2 1.35v

Idle 25-28C
Load 44-49C in Orthos

I couldn't get the Core Contact onto this mobo without unpinning the top most copper heat sink on the Rampage. I tired for hours and it wouldn't go in.

There are two pins on the upper NB heatsink, unpin to free up the upper Core Contact bracket. Seat the Core Contact with the bottom bracket in place first, the top bracket can then be clipped in with the HSF seated. Bend the NB heatsink back and pop the pins back in.

If you are willing to bend the top NB heatsink it takes less than five minutes.

Much lighter than the Tuniq 120 and comes with TX 2 thermal.
