NEW Xigmatek HSF - 4x 8mm Heatpipes!

**tuksonrider** · 03-18-2008, 08:30 AM

It's the Xigmatek HDT-S1284 (Achilles)

New design incorporates 4x 8mm pipes in a staggard configuration (something like the TRUE-120).

Note, the S1283 used 3x 8mm pipes.

I'd love to get my hands on this! Hopefully, they keep the price close to the S1283 to keep things competitive!

I Have the S1283, very happy with it

what about this?
found this on newegg today, is the SD964. with 4 hp and if mounting s 92mm fan, do you think it will get close to S1283?

Oh great, a better HDT cooler 5 days after I buy the S1283.

**poohball** · 03-18-2008, 03:27 PM

I wouldn't think it will match or beat S1283 though.........I jsut want to know how much better than the S963

I bought mine about 3 weeks ago.

I bet that will kick ass. Now if they would just get rid of the damn push pins!

**Asgard_thor** · 03-18-2008, 03:59 PM

Yes, I was just thinking the same thing!

**wa2000** · 03-18-2008, 04:24 PM

I agree, I so frowned at that little picture

**3lfk1ng** · 03-18-2008, 04:38 PM

I just wanna see the reviews before I drop $90 on the True ultra-120 extreme with 2 S-flexF fans for my new build.

**ChuckM** · 03-18-2008, 06:04 PM

The link says it's push pins.
Damnit
Only weighs 60 more grams that the 3 pipe.

**Ar3s** · 03-18-2008, 06:21 PM

whats a rifle bearing fan ?

**3lfk1ng** · 03-18-2008, 06:25 PM

perhaps higher quality?

**RADCOM** · 03-18-2008, 06:42 PM

I bought the S1283 as an interim before I finish the watercooling project and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Temps are pretty cool and it's not that noisy; a fair price as well. An extra set of cooling pipes can only be a good thing?

In the same family as the sleeve bearing is basically all I know. Supposedly longevity of ball bearing and low noise of sleeve...not sure about positional deficiencies though.

**3lfk1ng** · 03-18-2008, 07:16 PM

Don't sleeve bearings kinda suck though? (Directed at Vapor)

**Ar3s** · 03-18-2008, 08:01 PM

like those hybrid fan bearings ? one ball one sleeve ? wait a sec those were terrible.

I think rifle bearing is where they put rifling into the axle, which in turn causes it to act like corkscrew, moving oil constantly around the axle. It's supposed to solve the problem of sleeve bearings being mounted horizontally. Check it out on wikipedia.

**Craftyman.** · 03-18-2008, 09:35 PM

Nice, I'm getting it and its goin' in my box to replace my Tuniq tower. I'll see if I can get a review up, but when is it being released?

**Ar3s** · 03-18-2008, 09:56 PM

i guess achilless (achilles) heel is that it uses push pins.

Hi Ar3s,

I like your sense of humour. (Never mind the quality, feel the width.)

But putting that aside, is there any other pictures of the S1284 or perhaps a review?

Looking forward to some good news,

David

from wiki

Rifle bearing fans are similar to sleeve bearing, but are even quieter and have almost as much lifespan as ball bearings. The bearing has a spiral groove in it that pumps fluid from a reservoir. This allows them to be mounted vertically (unlike sleeve bearings), since the fluid being pumped lubricates the top of the shaft.[5] The pumping also ensures sufficient lubricant on the shaft, reducing noise, and increasing lifespan.

wow very interesting, saw a cheap Xigmatek fan being sold with rifle bearing, I dismissed it, a few users reported it being "a very good quiet fan that pushes good air" he even said it is better than his S-Flex F.
