Xigmatek Red Scorpion S1283

All the time, I'm always thinking about buying cool stuffs to mod my computer. Then recently. I noticed that my computer is running too hot for my liking. Therefore, I went to search for some nice CPU coolers and I found this.

Xigmatek Red Scorpion S-1283 HDT

An outstanding performance air cooler with H.D.T. technology, RED SCORPION-S1283 creates most efficient heat conduction and particular spoiler design to cool down components around CPU.

RED SCORPION-S1283 combines transparent colorful fan, Nickel Heat-pipe (Φ8mm), 4pcs white LED lights on fan, anti-vibration rubber, spoiler and 3 in 1 application retention module.

With anti-vibration rubber for fan and 3 in 1 application retention module design, RED SCORPION-S1283 provides users not only easier and quicker installation, but also lowest noise level.

H.D.T. (Heat-pipe direct touch) technology.
4pcs white LED on Fan
Transparent colorful housing and blade.
Anti-vibration rubber design.
3pcs Φ8mm high performance U type heat-pipes.
120mm highly efficient PWM fan.
Light weight.
High performance & easy installation.
3 in 1 application: LGA775 push-pin / K8 & AM2 tool-less clip.

Had to take out the whole motherboard to mount the heatsink. I also bought the mounting bracket plus some Gelid GC-1 performance thermal paste go with it. The pins included with the heatsink didn't provide a secure mount and some say that it might bend your motherboard over a long period of time. Thus I used the mounting bracket which costs less than MYR50. The thermal paste is to ensure maximum contact between the processor and the cooler. It fills up the tiny gaps in between. Heat transfers better through solid than air.

Anyway, after some testing and some burn in using Prime 95 and other benchmarking softwares, I found that temperature was well kept. At stock settings aka no overclock, during idling, temperatures remain at about 30-40C. Noise level was way quieter than the stock ones due to the size of the fan which is 120mm. Larger fan do not need to spin as fast to give the same amount of airflow.

Rest of the pictures including how it looks like in my system now HERE!!!

H1N1 updates - 20/8/2009

New email received from Mr. Chew Teck Aun, Principal of Sri Kuala Lumpur Secondary School.

Dear Parents,

We have a confirmed case of influenza A (80% H1N1 according to her doctor) this morning. She is on Tamiflu and resting at home.
As she is from 5A and attended school on monday, the school, as a precautionary measure, has placed the Form Teacher and all the students of 5A as well as their siblings (those in Sri KL)on house quarantine for one week as of today, 20th August. Since the school will be on holiday as of next week, it it hoped that this will help to prevent any further cases of H1N1. We seek the cooperation of parents to keep an eye on their children at all times and to ensure that they are kept at home if they show signs of Flu. All homework will continue to be posted on the web and parents are requested to monitor that the work is done.

Warmest regards,

T A Chew
Principal
Sri KL Secondary School.

Sri KL H1N1 Updates

Hey guys...I have new updates on the situation of H1N1 in Sri KL.

Click Read More for the details.

These are updates sent by the school to the parents.

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 10:55:19 AM

Dear Parents,
Thank you very much for your patience in the face of AH1N1 epidemic.
We are ever-ready to update parents on any new development on the AH1N1 situation in school. But, we cannot go beyond official and reliable sources as it would only add unnecessary stress and anxiety to parents.

This morning at 8.30 am, a parent of Std 3 Nangka informed us that her son has been confirmed a H1N1 case last evening. We have decided on the following steps:

1. Contact directly the parents of 3 Nangka to take their children out from the school for a 7-day home quarantine
2. Contact the parents of Pre 1 to take their children out of school for a 7-day home quarantine as the sibling of the affected boy was in the class.
3. The vacated classes will be disinfected today.

In the meantime we continue to remind students of the importance of wearing mask, cleanliness and personal hygiene. Each class has been provided with sanitiser so that students will have their hands sanitised at all times. The toilets are also being disinfected, equipped with disinfectant soap dispensers and more frequently cleaned daily.

We would strongly advise all parents to be alert to their children's health condition. Any symptoms of influenza is reason enough to refer to the medical practitioner and we strongly urge parents to keep their children at home if they show signs of discomfort, fever, sore-throat and cough. We need the cooperation of all members of the school community to stop the spread of the epidemic and tide over this difficult period.

Best wishes,
Tan Khun

Dear Parents,
Please be informed of the latest development of the school's H1N1 status:
A male student in 4 Salak has been confirmed as the latest H1N1 case. This brings the total number to two since the school reopened yesterday 17/8/09.

This case was confirmed when the student was admitted to SJMC at 10.00 am. this morning. We were informed of the case at 1.45 pm today. As the child has not been present in school since the school closure on 8/8, the class members have had no physical contact with him and hence do not need to be home-quarantined.

Nevertheless, the school will remain vigilant in our efforts to mitigate the spread of this epidemic. We appeal to all parents to continue being alert, considerate and cooperative to ensure that the chances of spread of this new strain of influenza virus among the school community are minimised.

Best wishes,
Tan Khun

That summarises the updates for today. I'll be posting new ones as I get more current news on the situation.
