The direct touch

XIGMATEK is a company that has some interesting ideas, but hasn’t really caught on with enthusiasts. X-bit Labs is going to try to undo that by reviewing their HDT-S963, a cooler with Heatpipe Direct Touch. They find that it is efficient enough to compete with the major brands, especially at lower fan speeds. At higher speeds the fan noise becomes a problem, but that could easily be rectified by replacing the stock fan with a quieter model.
