Achilles S1284C performs really well especially if we consider the price! Build quality is excellent!The whole cooler is very sturdy.

Price starts from $46(usd) at Amazon, meaning that Achilles not only performs well but is also low priced. Build quality also is remarkable and exceeded all my expectations!Perhaps a better lapped contact surface would be nice, but this is not problem at all. We also have to mention that Achilles S1284C is not compatible with Lga 1366 but this can be easily solved with Xigmatek Crossbow mounting kit that not only adds Lga 1366 compatibility but also a backplate and a more secure mounting mechanism at the price of ~6$.

 

Xigmatek Achilles is one the most cost effective cpu coolers on the market.It combines a high quality fan with a cooler that has nothing less from other high performance coolers,except price. At this price range the cooling systems we can find including a fan are very limited and most of them simply don't perform well, but Achilles has both the right price and the performance needed!

 

Pros

  • High quality
  • High performance
  • Low price
  • Fan included
  • Low noise

 

Cons

  • Not compatible with Lga 1366 out of the box(requires Crossbow kit)



"Xigmatek Achilles S1284C is given the "Value for money" and "Editors choice" awards because it is one of the most cost effective cpu coolers on the globe, and it also performs extremelly well!..."
