Xigmatek HDT-S1283 or Xigmatek S1284 "Achilles"
Hi!
Unfortunately in our country (Slovenia) HR-01 + is not available, so I am looking at those two heatsinks. I'll put Scythe slipstream 800rpm on heatsink (so included fan is not important). I wonder which would perform better with such low airflow (p182, two slipstream 800rpm as case fans)? By the pictures, I have feeling that Achilles have bigger space between fins, or I am wrong?
Thanks for advices!
PS: sorry for my english
Edit: I forgot to mention: I have zalman cnps9500 now, the fan is on 3v (950rpm) and temperatures of processor (pentium d 830 @ 3.8 ) are 40 idle and 70 full load.

Hi axee!
From what I can tell, the S1283 has ample spacing between the fins. MikeC made note of it in his review of that heatsink.

The Achilles looks nice, but it doesn't perform as well as the S1283 in most reviews. Many note that this is probably because not all four of its heatpipes make full contact with the processor. The S1283 performs better on dual core processors, so in my opinion it would be better for your purposes. The Slipstream will provide ample pressure either way. The temperature variation between the two is usually only a degree or two, so you'll be fine with whichever heatsink you choose. Personally, I would take the S1283, because it's cheaper and performs better on smaller CPU dies; I'm sure that the Achilles would also perform admirably, should you choose to go that direction instead.

Hi,
I think the HDT-S1283 is the better design, in terms of the base: the three heat pipes all make contact with the CPU, which nearly covers all three. With four heatpipes, the center two get most of the heat, and the outer two barely touch the edges of the CPU, so they really don't do much.
Check the older threads on this, on SPCR; that also show the best way to apply thermal goop to this heatsink.

Thank you for your help!
I am planning to buy some intel q9xxx series in future (maby 6 months), what would be the best future proof heatsink for quad core processors?hillkitler wrote:The S1283 performs better on dual core processors, so in my opinion it would be better for your purposes.

I'd still stick with the S1283. It's going to serve you well, no matter what. It might even be MORE effective on a quad core...I'm not really sure.I am planning to buy some intel q9xxx series in future (maby 6 months), what would be the best future proof heatsink for quad core processors?
Bottom line: get the HDT-S1283.

Hi,
The HR-01 Plus is a better HS, but not a lot better. A Nexus is 1,000RPM, so 7-9v is roughly the same as a SlipStream 800RPM at 12volts.axee wrote:I [still] feel bad because I have feeling that hr-01+ is so much better, in spcr tests is much better than S1283 on low airflow. Is slip stream 800rpm airflow really "low", or it compares with nexus on 7-9V ?
