Xigmatek HDT-S1283:

A little over a month ago we took a look at XigMateks HDT-S963, which performed really well for its size. This time we are going to look at its big brother the HDT-S1283. The main difference between the two coolers is the over all size of the cooler and the fact that the HDT-S1283 uses a 120mm fan where the HDT-S963 used a 92mm fan. So let's check it out and see if it can show the little brother up.

The Xigmatek HDT-S1283 came in a container that had a little more fluff than the HDT-S963 did. The box is eye catching and informative. On the front you will find the main features the cooler has to offer. On the side we can easily find out which processor socket types the HDT-S1283 will fit. Flipping over to the rear of the box you can find a complete listing of the HDT-S1283's specifications.

The Xigmatek HDT-S1283 came packaged just as securely as its little brother did. The cooler is tightly packed in the inner box with all the mounting hardware tucked under one of the flaps of the box.

Here we have the HDT-S1283 components pulled out of the box. You receive the HDT-S1283 cooler, the 120mm brushless fan, and a bag containing the deflector and mounting hardware along with the manual.

Features:

• H.D.T. (Heat-pipe direct touch) technology.
• Anti-vibration rubber design.
• Particular spoiler design.
• 3pcs high performance U type heat-pipe.
• Light weight.
• High performance & easy installation.
• 120mm highly efficient PWM fan.
• 3 in 1 application: LGA775 push-pin/K8 & AM2 tool-less clip.

Rosewill RCX-Z775-EX

General Features:

• Platform support: Intel S775
• Type of heatsink: Tower
• Installation Type: Push-Pins (Intel), Clip (AMD)
• Materials: Aluminum, Copper, Heat pipes
• Fan Support: 1x 92mm

The second heatsink from Rosewill is a compact Tower cooler made to work with a 92mm fan, it has 3 heat pipes to dissipate heat.

Technical Features:

• Heat Sink Material: Aluminum Fins / Heat pipes / Copper base plate
• Fan Dimension: 92 X 92 X 25 mm / Ball Bearing
• Connector: 4 pin (PWM)

While the product photo at the Rosewill site shows the aluminum fins with their natural color, the sample we received had a nice dark coat over the fins.
Inside the box you’ll find an installation manual, tube of thermal paste and mounting gear.The fan cover can be removed with 2 screws and shows us the design of the tower heatsink more clearly. A group of tightly packed fins dissipate the heat from the 3 U formed heat pipes.

As the product name implies, this heatsink is only compatible with S775, part of the mounting bracket is already on the heatsink. The heat pipes are bend outwards to offset the center of the heatsink, as to balance the weight when the fan is installed.The copper base is nicely flat and close to a mirror polish.The 92mm fan is clipped into place and can be easily swapped out if needed; you can orientate the Z775 as needed, pointing towards the rear exhaust for best result.

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400:

Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 mobile processor with its Penryn core and 6MB of shared L2 cache between its two cores clocked at 2.50GHz. We were very pleased with the performance of this mobile processor on Linux, which was found within a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 notebook, and today we are looking at the Penryn's desktop counterpart. Intel's Core 2 Duo "Wolfdale" E8000 series processors were released earlier this year with 6MB of L2 cache, 45nm manufacturing, a 1333MHz FSB, and support for SSE 4.1. The processor from the Wolfdale series we are looking at today under Linux is the Core 2 Duo E8400.

The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 "SLAPL" is clocked at 3.00GHz and has a 65W TDP with the VID voltage range from 0.85V to 1.3625V. Aside from the 1333MHz bus and 45nm manufacturing, some of the other shared features for Wolfdale processors include Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (EIST), EM64T, Intel Virtualization Technology (VT), Enhanced Halt State (C1E), Execute Disable Bit, and Intel Thermal Monitor 2. For more details on some of the other architectural advancements made with these latest Intel dual-core processors with technologies such as Advanced Smart Cache and Smart Memory Access.

While the design is much the same, the heatsink shipping the Core 2 Duo E8400 is much slimmer than some of Intel's earlier LGA-775 reference heatsinks. This heatsink fan is quiet during operation and has a 4-pin connection for PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) support. The slug of the heatsink that is exposed to the Intel processor has thermal paste pre-applied. This portion of the heatsink is made of copper while the surrounding fins are aluminum.
