As you can see this improved application method does reduce temperatures enough to be considered significant. Due to the fact Xigmatek will be recommending this application method these new numbers will be used for all future reviews as the official HWC Xigmatek S1283 performance results.

For anyone wondering why we did not read this previously posted review until after our review was written and post the answer is complicated but it all boils down to us not wanting to go into a review with any prejudices or preconceived ideas. We like to start with a “clean slate” so to speak and feel any occasional error requiring an addendum such as this one is worth the risk in order to give you our readers the best unbiased review we can give you.

We would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Olin Coles for his innovative work on advancing the art of TIM application.

We would also like to take this opportunity to personally thank Xigmatek for bringing this errata to our attention and the solution to it. Its one thing to point out “issues” its another thing to be able to provide viable solutions to said issues.
