Xigmatek Aegir SD128264 CPU Cooler Review
Luke Hill / 13 years ago
We will repeat the load tests with our CPU at stock speed and overclocked, but this time we will use high powered 1850RPM Scythe AP-15 fans in push-pull configuration when possible. This test will show the heatsink’s true potential with fans that perform excellently on heatsinks and radiators. It will also outline whether or not the bundled fans are offering acceptable performance.
The bundled 2200RPM fan offers good performance on the Aegir, but for those enthusiasts looking to squeeze every drop of performance out of their heatsink without sacrificing quiet operation, the pair of Scythe AP-15 fans in a push/pull configuration manages to keep our 2600K CPU around 3.5% cooler than Xigmatek’s bundled fan.
