XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler with Stealth Aerospace Industry Thermal conductive ceramic coating LGA1150 Haswell Compatible
Aluminum Alloy, H.D.T. (Heat-pipes Direct Touch), Ceramic Surface Coating
Overview
Specs
Reviews
The Xigmatek Stealth series
coolers make
use of advanced ceramic materials originally pioneered in the high-tech
aerospace and automotive industries. The ceramic coating features high
strength
and light weight and is specially formulated for
maximum thermal
conductivity making
it well suited for use in extreme temperature environments.
Xigmatek Dark Knight SD1283
Nighthawk
Edition
The Xigmatek Dark Knight SD1283
is the
world's first enthusiast cooler to utilize a modern ceramic coating and
was the
result of Xigmatek thermal engineers thinking outside the box. Xigmatek's
innovative
use of this space age material is not just for good looks - the ceramic
coating
along with Xigmatek's patented HDT
technology greatly
increases the efficiency of thermal transfer away from your CPU.
High Thermal Conductivity - The
increased thermal conductivity of the ceramic coating rapidly absorbs
and
removes heat from the CPU via the heatpipes.
Increased Cooling Area -
Traditional aluminum fins are not as effective conducting heat at the
outer
edges. The ceramic coating allows heat to rapidly spread over the
entire
surface of the cooling fins, reducing thermal hotspots and increasing
the
cooling area.
HDT - Xigmatek's
use of superior grade copper for the patented Heatpipe
Direct Touch technology places the performance enhanced heatpipe
directly against the hot CPU, increasing the effectiveness of removing
heat
from the source.

AM3
Performance As Good
As It Looks The Dark Knight SD1283 features
a high-tech
and stealthy matte black ceramic finish and is mated with a matching
smoke black
fan, giving it a unique presence. The effectiveness of the ceramic
coating
allows for reduced width fins resulting in an ultra-slim profile
making the Dark Knight
SD1283 well suited for either single or dual fan (push - pull)
configurations
that easily fits within the physical constraints of modern motherboard
designs. Performance testing between the
similar Dark
Knight SD1283 (ceramic) and GAIA SD1283 (non-ceramic) coolers indicates
a
performance increase of of up to 10% under
stock and
overclocked CPU speeds.
Specifications
First To
Innovate
Xigmatek
leads the market by continuing
to innovate in cooler design while the competition is satisfied with
rehashing
the same old technologies. Xigmatek was first to market with HDT and is
now
first to market with the use of advanced ceramic materials. Xigmatek:
We
Innovate.
