Xigmatek Readying Dark Knight HDT S1283 Cooler
The brand name "Dark Knight" seems to be quite a fashion these days. Xigmatek is preparing a new CPU cooler, the Dark Knight HDT for global launch. The cooler is compatible with Intel LGA-775 and AMD sockets 754, 939, 940, AM2(+). It measures 120x50x159 mm, and weighs 660 g.
The cooling mechanism consists of three copper heatpipes that come in direct contact with the CPU, which convery heat to to the array of aluminum fins. The fins are cooled by a 120 mm fan that rotates at speeds between 1000 and 2000 rpm. The fan has a maximum noise-level of 22 dBA. It features white LEDs for lighting.

The 1283 in the specs you show has a lower CFM fan than the Achilles and the Red Scorpion(which perform much better).
I am assuming this is the same fan as those mentioned just with the blades being black vs. orange!
The standard 1283 comes with a 56.3CFM fan and the others run a 61.3CFM fan. While it isnt the greates of margins, the difference is noticable!
BTW the first version of the Xigmatek (the one I have) spins between 1000~2000RPM.

Ooooooooooooh! They don't have the rights to use anything Batman related so it a Black Knight instead! Way to jump on the buzzword bandwagon Xigmatek. :shadedshu
Some marketing firms will do anything to justify their existence. :slap:
Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster that they make excellent coolers.
