I used SiSoftsandra’s built in Burn in tool to stress the system and the idle temperatures were measured during internet browsing and minor computer activity.

• All the temperatures were measured using Speed fan.
• All these temperatures were measured with a room temperature of around 21 degrees Celsius.
• And the results are displayed in Celsius

System used

• Intel Pentium E6300 with Arctic Silver 5
• Asus P5B
• 2x 1GB PC6000 CL4.0 HyperX
• Sapphire X1950Pro with Arctic Silver Ceramic
• 1x 74gb WD Raptor HDD
• 1x NEC DVD Burner

The Xigmatek Achilles S1284C did a pretty good job on keeping my old e6300 up to the right temperature. I did multiple test runs and the temperature fluctuated a bit, in the end this was the result I got and I must say that the results are pretty good. If we start comparing the Achilles with the Noctua coolers then there’s a big difference in price. The Achilles costs around 35 ~ 40 Euros. The Noctua coolers are up to 10 Euros more expensive than the Xigmatek.

Final words

• Great looking
• Easy Installation
• High compatibility
• Quiet
• High performance cooler for a decent price
• Great overall package
