It’s been a while since we last looked at CPU coolers available in the market and here today to break the dead lock we’re looking at XIGMATEK’s HDT-S963 with Heat pipe direct touch technology. Direct Touch Heat Pipe technology is being adopted by many manufactures now after seeing the good results it offers.
XIGMATEK is a relatively new company producing medium to high end cooling products for PC’s. Some of you most probably have not heard of this manufacturer but we were quite impressed with the range of cooling solutions they offer.
