shiver_8 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Right now I have a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 which cools pretty well. With my E8400 at 4.5ghz with 1.52v, temps are 37 idle and max out at 70 degrees under P95 small fft's after an hour. Question is I'm looking at the HDT-S1284 EE. I have heard mixed thoughts on it for dual cores but I have the chance to pick one up for 20 dollars. Will I notice anything? I know the original "Achilles" HDT-S1283 was an upset, but apparently this one is more refined? I can't find any solid online reviews either. Any help is great.

Skugpezz Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 A mugen II will do you very well, also a promiltech megahalem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes_5 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Personally, I'd try to improve on the current heat sink, say a push pull fan config. But then again for 20 bucks, maybe it will have an improvement on the new one, or it will remain the same, who knows till its tried. Finally, a Megahalem will definitely be better, by how much better, I don't know, for the cost. But I'd go for the Megahalem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzlenitch Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 +1 for the Megahalems, if you're looking to spend the money. The Noctua NH-D14 is also a hell of a cooler, but big, and perhaps overkill for a dual core. When all else fails, Google it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_8 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I tried high CFM fans and push pull configs on this hs and it stayed the same. I'm getting this cooler tomorrow so I'll try it out. And no way I'm spending 60 bucks on an air cooler lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 i just got the Noctua NH-D14 to replace the stock cooler for my e6850 and my temps went to ~20C from ~50C but to say this thing is huge is an understatement. I have the cooler master Stacker 810 and I had modded it to install a 360mm fan on the side panel, and with this cooler i would have had to do the same mod. No fan on side panel anymore becuase this cooler won't allow it at all near the cpu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vackenfeldt Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I have to suggest the Corsair H50 with a push pull config, I am using it for my rigg and the cooling is really suberb, and alot better than my TRUE black with the same fans.
