This review is from: XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler with Stealth Aerospace Industry Thermal conductive ceramic coating LGA1150 Haswell Compatible
Pros:
It works fine with light over-clocking
Cons:
Dark knight has failed for my setup. Based on the tests i performed
1) it is not recommended for heavy duty over-clocking. Significantly higher temperatures 5-10oC from Megahalem (930 i7 overclocked to 4.00GHz)
2) The reason for not performing adequately is the base of the cooler. it is convex and not straight and there is a big gap between the heatpipes and the enclosed metallic plate around it.
Overall Review:
I had to return and bought a Megahalem. I am using a push/pull configuration with 2 silverstone fans. Could not be more happy.
