Xigmatek Ready with Carbonado CPU Cooler
Xigmatek is ready with a new CPU cooler for the season, the Xigmatek Carbonado (S1284V). This tower-design CPU cooler with heatpipe direct touch (HDT) technology sports a slightly asymmetric design with its aluminum fin design and the placement of the four 8 mm heatpipes, which takes shape accordingly on the CPU contact base, working towards increasing the surface contact area. The main unit measures 120 (W) x 60 (H) x 159 (D) mm, weighing 660 g. It comes bundled with a 120 mm fan with anti-vibration retention. The fan is white LED illuminated, and spins at speeds between 1000 ~ 2200 rpm. It supports all current CPU sockets including LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, and AMD AM3/AM2+. For AMD sockets the cooler includes a tool-free retention module. It will be available in the weeks to come.

looks like an achilles with 1156/1366 support to me
everything they bring out is only slightly better or it has some new coat of paint
only difference between balder sd1283 and the dark knight s1283v is that the blader can do the same cooling with less fin area and being pre lapped
arnt the achilles s1284w better for AMD? i dont know but thats what i heard im asking because im not sure
"car-bondo" lol
