For what I can see there is a lot of confusion about the naming of these coolers, I can't find the difference between them and a review that explains.

From the Xigmatek website, the first is supposed to be named Xigmatek Dark Nighthawk and the second Dark Knight II, but the first is often found named as Dark Knight II at websites, reviews and stores.

All I want to know is, is there a difference? Which one is better and should I buy?

Pls halp. :(

I did a quick research and I found something that is named XIGMATEK Dark Knight II SD1283 Night Hawk Edition.

So let me ask you - are you sure you didn't mixed names? Or maybe they are basically the same thing but, like above, one is some special edition of another?

I know I'm not being very helpfull, but I would suggest to stick to nomenclature from official website. Also, I never heard about this company, does it have to be it? Maybe try to find something with less confusing name, that will just have model numbers, and not some idiotic Batman related names, choosen for gods know why.

also, consider it as a bump

EDIT: Also, why did you changed your avatar?

Yeah I'm sure, the problem is that often the names are mixed up. They are not supposed to be the same. I mean, the website of the company shows it correctly, but the problem is when trying to find a review or something like that because all I can find is reviews of the older one, even when using the name of the second. And they have some different specs, but I'm not familiar with that kind of knowledge so I can't make up my mind.

And I cant find anything by the model numbers as well. At least not a comparsion. :/

But ty anyway. :)

PS: I changed it because I found this pic of me playing CS 1.6 in the 00's and I thought it was cool since I'm a CS player until today, only difference is that now I play CS:GO. :D

Maybe try some PC forum? This is seriously confusing. I found some unboxing video, but this is not really a review you are probably looking for. Maybe something from comments here will help. I don't know.

Also, another bumpo ;)

P.S.
Cool thing is, I heard there are still people who plays 1.6 :D

7 blade standard shape fan vs 9 blades with a special shape....i would assume that the second is lower speed, less noise...maybe with same throughput of air....but that's pure guessing from the pictures and my poor knowledge

Ty very much! It was very helpful. That would imply in less cooling from the second, or they could even it out with some other specs, if that would be the case?

it also possible they have more or less the same performance but just different optics.....today it´s mostly about optics, cause the best coolers just look boring and simple :-)
