XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler with Stealth Aerospace Industry Thermal conductive ceramic coating LGA1150 Haswell Compatible
  • 1000 - 2200 RPM
  • 89.45 CFM (Max.)
  • Aluminum Alloy, H.D.T. (Heat-pipes Direct Touch), Ceramic Surface Coating

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.
