XIGMATEK Launches Achilles Cooler
XIGMATEK has launched a new direct-touch heatpipe cooler branded Achilles, which is compatible with Intel Socket 775 processors and AMD Socket 754 and newer processors. The direct-touch heatpipes allow for superior heat transfer and improved cooling capabilities, with the cooler boasting a 120mm fan with a noise level of 20.64 dBA. The heatsink comes equipped with four U-type heatpipes, whilst the fan features anti-vibration rubber clips to help minimise noise and four white LEDs.

Good to see they're pushing the envelope with this new cooler, which has one more heatpipe, for a total of 4.
If the S1283 gave the Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme a run for it's money, I can't wait to see how this one performs.
::EDIT::
I furgot to add ---> :rockout::rockout::rockout:
Anywho, awesome, it looks like my S1283 only with one more pipe and a purty orange fan.
They have great coolers for cheap. I hope they stay that way. It could be they are cheap just because they are new and are trying to gain a foothold on the market...

I stopped here because I believe I already proved my point. I'm sure there's more.
I am using a Xigmatek copper heatpipe cooler. The 120mm one.:laugh:
As for this only having aluminum heatpipes, that keeps cost and weight down. I'm sure they will have a copper heatpipe version soon anyway.
This is total DOOM DOOM DOOM to other companies... And hat those are copper heatpipes with nickel plating. Nobody makes aluminium heatpipes because they don't work. However if I was to get that cooler I'd rip that 120mm fan and put the HDTS1283's own 120mm fan on (the 2k RPM one).
Guys at TPU PLEASE REVIEW THIS :D
EDIT: Whoa those heatpipes are so close to each other now! Massive base as well. NICKEL PLATED COPPER PIPES. Not aluminium.
i think TPU should do a review hint hint
The orange fan is a little like a kids toy. Higher CFM is what we need with a fan controller. Like a fan mate 2.
