Even if the Aegir came with only one fan, it cooled with ease the CPU and the resulting temperatures put it at about the same level as the Noctua NH-U12P SE2, which, as we know, comes with two fans, for a push-pull configuration. However, it was still a respectable difference between it and the NH-D14 monster.

If the fan is kept at full speed at all times, we can lower the IDLE temperature even more, but this with a lot of added noise. Of course, when we are leaving the motherboard to control the fan by itself, we can have different IDLE and Full Load fan speeds, depending on the motherboard model and BIOS settings.

The installation can be done by most of us, by following the written instructions inside the manual, but we have to use most of the time the supplied tool, which is time consuming.

Attaching the fan to the heatsink can be done with ease with the included anti-vibration rubbers and we can find extra in the package to mount one more fan, for a push-pull configuration; it would have been nicer to see the cooler ship with two fans instead of one, for increased cooling performance, but this would have upped the price even more.

The product can be found at CaseKing.de for about 49,90 Euros, which is an acceptable price considering that the Noctua NH-U12P SE2 can be found for about 10 Euros more. The second fan can be bought for about 7,90 Euros, which still makes it cheaper than the Noctua CPU cooler.

I would like to thank again to CaseKing.de for offering me this product for review!
