Xigmatek's European design team is dedicated to becoming a world leader in CPU thermal cooling by producing reliable, efficient and environmentally sound cooling systems. They don't cut corners with their products to deliver on their promise and the HDT-S1283 is no exception.
Designed to attach easily to the motherboard of all Intel Socket 775 and AMD Socket AM2, 754, 939 and 940 CPUs, the HDT-S1283 is ready to go right out of the box. No tools are required, nor is removal of the motherboard, thanks to its light weight and anti-vibration technology. Three large, liquid-filled, U-shaped 8mm pure copper heat pipes directly touch the heatspreader of the CPU for maximum transference of damaging heat away from the processor and up to the aluminum convection fins.
The heatsink is cooled by the 120mm fan mounted on the side of the array which blows nearly 100 CFM of cooling air at its maximum 1500 RPM. Its support for PWM lets the BIOS control the speed of the fan based on the CPU's thermal needs – lowering the fans speed and noise during off-peak cycles. A spoiler on the back side of the cooling array diverts air to cool components around the CPU as well.

Great cooler
- Pros: The build is very solid and the Intel mounting system is pretty easy to use. As another reviewer said, the fan mounts are a little bit of a pain but very effective. This cooler is very cool and at 600g, I am not worried about weight like I would be with other coolers.
- Cons: It is too large for some cases.
- Other Thoughts: I have this on my E8400 in an Antec 900 case.
Excellent choice if not Liquid cooling and wanting to OC
- Pros: No motherboard removal required, although if you have a removable motherboard tray I would suggest mounting this out side of the case.
Cost effective
Installation tips:
For Intel LGA775 -- mount the LGA push-pin brackets with the included screws [1 per bracket] to heat sink base.
Before mounting to the motherboard make sure the push pins are set properly -- analyze how they work by locking one and releasing it. Releasing the push pin is done easiest by use of a flat head screw driver.
Refer to this article for applying thermal paste properly:

Mounting the fan requires securing it to the heat sink with anti-vibration rubber pins. !!Use needle nose pliers to pull them through! Either mount to the heat sink first, then install on mobo and then mount fan last! Or install on fan, install on heat sink, remove fan, install heat sink on mobo then install fan last!
- Cons: Poor instructions -- refer to above for tips to make installation a breeze! Remember the heat sink has to be install without the fan on Intel LGA775 in order to secure all push pins!
- Other Thoughts: Great price, great cooling, excellent value over all! You can overclock and gain performance without spending 4-8 times the cost of a Liquid Cooling System

Best After Market for the price
- Pros: I love this thing. I can have it mounted in my case, barely hear it, but still know it's doing it's job. The rubber hooks for the fan are nice for silencing and It is easy to install.
- Cons: I suggest you have patients and a big "full tower" case because this is really tall and with my Lian Li PC-P80 nearly touches the side panel.
- Other Thoughts: If you want to get away from those flimsy intel clips, i suggest buying the 15 dollar mounting bracket kit. Its worth the price.
Way more than enough
- Pros: Quiet, ridiculously good cooling.
- Cons: Too large for my case. I had to move my case fan to the /outside/ of the case to get this monster to fit. (SIGMA ZEN ZEN-WDP diamond pink SECC Steel ATX)~~ I would've been better off just using the factory processor fan, since I couldn't unlock extra cores w/ AMD Phenom II X2 550 and have no need to OC.
- Other Thoughts: At least it looks crazy and is funny with a case fan sitting outside the case!
Best mm per mm Cooler there is
- Pros: It is fairly easy to install, oz per oz a great deal seems well made straightforward design and installation on my Asus mobo PhenomII 965BE and 4 slots of ram in a CoolerMaster 690 case. It fits can go in 2 directions and the cost is very low considering what there is. If you like size this will thrill.
I put it in fairly quickly and did 2 dry runs to check to see whether the up to down or other way would be better functioning and/or easiest to mount. I dont think it would make much difference but it is very case dependant. I have 2 fans on the top of my case so the direction for me was a simple choice and by getting the thing put together first and taking out all my wires it went in without any problem and I have very large hands. If i were of slight build this would have gone in 3x as fast as my major issues were not fitting my hand it but it isnt the fault of the design of the product.
- Cons: In my cooler master 690 mid tower , a very large box the cooler fit but barely. there is no tolerance, one fan slot in the side cover can not be used with the standard size fan though a thinner one may fit but only barely. there is a significant overlap of the fins into the and right over the tops of 2 ram stix i have in already. i used the proper tool for getting the rubber fan mounts in but sliding them into the fins of the radiator needed to be done prior to hooking the cooler assembly in and that made for a tough set up for an otherwise simple straightforward design. it is a designers product. THE DIRECTIONS ARE AWFUL. they give almost no information and what is there is not important to installation. one must check their box and mobo and use time thinking what to put together first. for me it would have been impossible to put the fan onto the heatsink while it was in the box. i had to assemble it outside which made fastening it down way harder and same with plugging fans back in
- Other Thoughts: The worst part of all of this is after putting it in and some of it though straight forward was rather annoying and frustrating since it could have been easier if the product were really for the AMD3 set up. It isnt al that bad but it should be better with out all the overlap over ram and reaching to the top.
IT IS ONLY 4° COOLER AT IDLE THAN THE STOCK PHENOM II 965 FAN...108° vs 112°. I was seriously miffed. The stock cooler was often at that temp too. it is really no different at all and after all that work plus i added a fan on the other side of it which should have shown a drop had i not put it in and left the stock in. It is hard to believe all that shiny copper and aluminum and a 120mm fan isnt cooling the thing better than the stock junky little box did.
It says something for the stock hsu. everything is equal but the new cooleer has more fan power behind it than the stock.
