Xigmatek HDT-S1283 CPU Cooler Review

E4600 Performance Results



Idle Temperatures






These are very decent results, and when you take into consideration how frickin’ cheap this cooler is in comparison to the other coolers it goes from merely good to down right amazing!


Average Load Temperatures







At stock speeds this CPU cooling solution turns in some very good results, but it really starts to shine as the heat loads increase. Less than one degree Celsius separates this from the Noctua we recently reviewed, and quiet honestly this is so close as to be within our error ratio. While we strive to keep things as similar as possible, we don’t have a million dollar environmental room to use so slight variances in humidity and even air pressure could cause this difference. In the end you might as well say that a cooler that costs less than most is tied for first place in our charts. That is simply astounding and we are eager to see what this bad boy can to when the heat really is turned up!
