Xigmatek Launches Thor's Hammer Heat-Pipe Processor Cooler

[CmB]

The wait is killing me, and I haven't seen any new info. Any updates?

same here when will it be released?

Reviewers in the US should have their Thors in 3 weeks and US retail is roughly 1 month away barring any last minute delays.

[lkiller123]

aww, thats March

[tonyluu]

I want it now!
@ Vapor, didn't know lapping the TRUE would be that big of a delta

[Vapor]

That improvement is a pretty typical improvement for a Thermalright base being lapped...fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective.

Of course, lower heatloads will also see a smaller improvement in temps

[dctokyo]

Wow, I wonder if this will be my present cooler? XIGMATEK-Dark Knight-S1283

[OdinEidolon]

this will be named HDT-S128364 lol

[downforce]

These were just listed on the Aussie Xigmatek's disty pricelist for RRP of $99.95. Except the cost price is > than that, so nfi.

It has the model as S126384 and LGA1366/LGA775 Mounting Brackets Incl. and Optional Fan

They are apparently expecting a new Xigmatek delivery in the next week or so, I imagine these will be on it.

i really dont trust their review. tweaktown is a good site when it comes to video cards, but with coolers they fail.
noctua's coolers beating TRUE by 2-3 degrees?

[Vapor]

Their artificial testbed is whacked out.

I understand why they did it, but their results clearly show it doesn't quite work

[gatecrasherlok]

Yeha looking at the chart there are starnge results that pop up and simply don't add up at all imo. I'll wait for more reviews on performance. On the other hand, that is definately one sexy cooler indeed.

I have a hard time to trust those results.

[fng77]

I wanna see a review with the v-core crankd up, I´m sure that the hammer will shine with some more heat..

[lkiller123]

Oh wow, unbelievable results with all the coolers idling at about 50 degrees... Hows that possible by the way?

Nickel plating ??
I've got a rosewill Z5 ultra that sit at 42C on up near the lowest heat sink fins but the cores under it are only 33C at idle.

[lkiller123]

i thought that it is the core temperature, its not?!!

Nice, a real review

Performance is....as expected it seems.

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

the review seems ok but how can we be sure the guy reviewing the heatsink actually has his wits about him?

SilenX IXC-120HA2: Similar to the CR-CCTF, but supports two 120mm fans. SilenX includes one of their iXtrema Pro Quiet fans, which I enthusiastically endorse.

[Vapor]

Olin's not bad, even if he likes SilenX

FWIW, that could be interpreted that just likes the fact that the HSF comes with the "F" in heatsink fan.

Thats what I´m talking about. Seems a lot more trustworthy.

[lkiller123]

no dual fan setups on benchmarkreviews?!!

[gatecrasherlok]

That looks more of a respectable review than the last one. I would have loved to have seen the reviewers push the overclocking a little further.

[fng77]

Here is a even better review:

[lkiller123]

I really don't trust the VR-ZONE review since the Hyper N-620 has a dual fan setup, and the Xigmatek doesn't. Anyways Im glad that they pushed the i7 to 4GHZ
