Xigmatek Dark Knight SD-1283 Night Hawk Edition CPU Cooler Review

Rating: 8.0.

Today we are looking at the Night Hawk Edition of the Dark Knight cooler, set to bolster Xigmateks' ever expanding product portfolio. Xigmatek produce many chassis designs alongside a range of power supplies. They are well known for their CPU coolers such as the Xigmatek Venus XP-SD1266 which we reviewed in March.

Xigmatek have always attempted to incorporate the latest technologies into their CPU coolers, and have proven successful with the Direct Touch Heat-Pipes (H.D.T) design.

The Xigmatek Dark Knight: Night Hawk Edition has three 8mm heatpipes. They have also recently adopted a ceramic coating to further enhance thermal dissipation.
