XigmaTek S1283V Dark Knight CPU Cooler Review-Hi Tech Legion-XigmaTek S1283V Dark Knight CPU Cooler Review
 
Guys the pricing for this cooler will be 2250 + Shipping. There are many coolers around in the market . But this one for its price performance compatibility would turn out to be the best choice for most. It supports in all AMD , Intel brackets i5 & i7 included. Comes with the famous and cool looking Xigmatek LED fan which is known to be DEAD Silent as well.
 
What about LGA775 bracket ? included or do we have to purchase it seperately ? and when would this be available ?
 
^ if you guys go through the reviews its way better than the N520 cooler , infact the snap attached it is close to the thor hammer from xigmatek , comes with the fan and is competing well with other thermalright , noctua products as well and comes at 60% of the price with the led fan. In the true sense its a very sensible cooler.
 
its so close or even better than noctua u12..For price to price comparison this beat u12 hugely. Nice deal dude.
 
Will it fit in my CM Elite 334?
Problem: My biostar Tp35D2 a7 northbridge Heatsink seems pretty big to me.

PS: There wont be any space above my motherboard as its occupied by VX450
 
If priced around 2k(this is a US ~$40 cooler) this is an excellent buy. Will outperform Hyper 212, AC Freezer 7 rev. 2 and the N520, not to mention it looks extremely sweet in an all black case(subjective) and is universal.

A note to everyone interested in these:- please please measure the amount of space you have from the CPU socket to your side panel(taking account for any fans that you may have over that space as well). Width of the cooler will not be a problem if you have it blowing hot air out the back but height= different story. Basically, ITS HUGE! Have 7-8 inches of clearance(case width from socket) just to be sure. This thing got a few bad reviews on newegg because people did not measure their case before getting one and it didn't fit. That's not the cooler's problem, it cools well thanks in part to its size.

All things considered, if you are thinking about getting this cooler, stop thinking and get it, superb performance and overall package. :)

@Mediahome
Thanks for the super quick delivery of the PL11 IEMs =D, Is an ebay listing possible for this too?
