"New Always Good"

It's only your "super simple" assumption bro. And there is no review yet for both model as a comparison

Owner of Xigmatek Dark Knight HDT and few xigmatek white LED fans...

Nice Rig Bro

Happy Xigmatek BattleAxe + 2x 12cm fans owner here.



Fixed it on my XFX 9600gt XXX (750/1750/1000) and got a huge temperature drop.



Pros:

Before is idle 60c, load (u imagine). Now idle 37-38c, load <50. Fan running full but still good for me.

Cons:

1. Only 2 heatpipes made contact since the G94 chip got no IHS. Wasted two of the heatpipes.
2. The ramsink thermal pad is very poor in quality. Can fall off easily. No choice but to use it.
3. 2 of the ramsinks as i highlighted need to be modded as the heatpipes got blocked and cant mount properly. They should include two low profile ramsink and save my time sanding it for so long.

Anyway, if im not mistaken, shouldn't use the white thermal paste provided as that will corrode the copper.

Nice simple review/comment Hopefully the latest Xigmatek VGA cooler, BitFrost will be a better product compare to it's predecessor (Battle AXE)

Bro lingloong, when wanna bring the bifrost in .

Looking at the photo, guess it will utilize more heatpipes since they are positioned close to each other.

But nickel plating will trap the heat and the fans seems to be lower performance

Waiting my supplier to land it at our shore bro Poison poison

can get extimate date and price ah ?

so i've changed the thermal pads...how bout the ramsinks on the battleaxe..does it need to be changed ?

What is the different between the old Battle Axe and the new Battle Axe other than the new Battle Axe looks very similar to Artic Cooling?

Main Differences from the Spec provided:

BATTLE AXE:
# 4pcs Φ6 mm high performance heat-pipe.
# 92mm highly efficient fan.

BitFrost:
# 5pcs Φ6mm high performance Heat-pipe
# Plating Black-Nickel on whole body
# Valuable transparent fan and fan cover
# 2pcs 100mm highly efficient fans

thinking of buying the dark knight...

but it doesnt come with the intel push pin brackets thingy....

any idea if the s1283 (any version) push pins can be used with the dark knight???

me no like backplates...


EDIT:

@lingloong

the dark knight u sell got come with the new LGA1366 brackets right?
