Xigmatek Aegir SD128264 CPU Cooler Review

We repeated the testing procedures with our Intel Core i7 2600K CPU overclocked to 4.4GHz using a BIOS voltage of 1.240V which crept up to a maximum of 1.288V under load conditions. We must remind you that we have recently discovered our processor runs slightly hotter than usual, but seeing as all tests use the same CPU, the results aren’t biased.

Once the extra heat of a 1.2GHz frequency increase and 1.240V CPU voltage are added into the equation, we see some clear daylight appear between the Xigmatek cooler and its Cooler Master competitor, the V6GT. Cooler Master’s £22/$22 Hyper 212 Plus is proving itself as a tough competitor for the higher priced alternatives just as we have observed many times in the past. The Aegir does manage to outperform Gelid’s £25/$45 Tranquillo rev. 2 with just under 10% cooler operation under the load condition.
