Raijintek Aidos CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look


The coolest isn’t anything particularly fancy, it’s a compact tower cooler and looks pretty much as you would expect. What I do notice is that despite its compact size, it packs in a decent amount of fins, and there’s some sculpting to their edges which should help better break up the airflow to aid cooling.

There are four heat pipes in total, each passing through the left and right sides of the cooling tower running from front to back, which should help evenly distribute any heat through the fins.

The design is pretty slim too, so even with the fan mounted, or even two fans mounted, you shouldn’t have any issues with RAM compatibility, so you can hold onto your tall memory cooling fans without issues.

The top fin has exposed ends for the heat pipes, which are soldered onto to each fin as they pass through. There’s a small Raijintek logo on the top and overall the design is neat and tidy.

On the base of the cooler, you can clearly see each heat pipe, which are flattened off as they pass through the CPU block giving you decent coverage of the actually processor.

There’s a large block on the base too, which should help move a little more heat, but also forms part of the mounting kit for the included cooler to motherboard brackets.
