Xigmatek Intros Balder SD1283 CPU Cooler
Cooling specialist Xigmatek announced its latest CPU cooler, the Balder SD1283. The Balder maintains a design similar to most other tower coolers. The design consists of a base from which three heat pipes of 8 mm diameter making direct contact with the CPU, convey heat to a dense array of aluminum alloy fins. The CPU base has a mirror finish to ensure better surface contact.
The main unit measures 120(W) x 50(D) x 159(H) mm, and weighs 700 g with fan. The 120 mm fan spins at speeds between 1000 ~ 2200 rpm, with a maximum noise output of 28 dBA. The Xigmatek Balder supports all current sockets, including LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, and AM3/AM2+/AM2. The package includes a bolt-thru kit for the LGA sockets, and enough rubber rivets to let you attach two fans. It is priced at 32.90 EUR.

Guru3D says the cooler has started shipping!
Shame they didn't do the S1283V like this, I personally think the Dark Knight is the best S128X cooler except the pure copper prototype lol, that's just pure awesomeness. The black fan goes nice with the black heatsink :D
They're all good though, reasonable price, comes with a good fan and all perform well. All they need is some quality thermal paste.
