Xigmatek - Dark Knight S1283V - Review from d3reaction

Today we here at D3Reaction will taking a close look at there S1283V Dark Knight Heat-pipe. The S1283 Dark Knight CPU Cooler is a Mid- Tower design budled with a fairly standard but stylish looking 120mm  fan. The Dark Knight also uses the same Heatpipe Direct Touch technology common thru-out Xigmatek’s current coolers and so we expect it to perform beyond the performance of that of a normal CPU cooler since the three heatpipes featured in this cooler are in direct touch with the CPU heatspreder.

GELID Solutions GC-1 Thermal Compound @ Overclockers Online

Arctic Silver 5 has long been hailed as the king of thermal compounds but it seems the king is finally dead. The GELID GC-1 trumps the AS5 in a couple of aspects. Letting the temperatures speak for themselves, the GC-1 does a much better job at conducting heat (or maybe, not impeding it as much). There is a caveat here, however, as the "delta" temperatures were somewhat close. With that said, the GC-1 did have a smaller "delta" between the idle and load temperatures in every test.

OCZ Vertex 120GB SATA SSD OCZSSD2-1VTX120G @ Benchmark Reviews

Lower power consumption and heat output are the least impressive benefits of Solid State Drives. The real payoff is in the practically instant response time and high-performance throughput.

An Indilinx 'Barefoot' internal controller commands the bank of Samsung K9HCG08U1M DRAM modules, allowing the OCZ Vertex Series SSD to offer an impressive capacity with unmatched performance.
