Introduction

CPU cooling has always been important for the overclocker, but due to dual and quad cores it's becoming increasingly important for the casual user too. Water cooling and phase change are both great ways of cooling a CPU; however the extremes of these methods are both very expensive and can be rather risky. This is the reason why Air Cooling is still used today, though don’t label it as boring, air cooling has changed dramatically over the past 3 years.

Today I will be looking at the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 which features anti-vibration rubber and a 120mm ‘quiet’ fan. So lets take this cooler out for a spin and see how well it performs…
