Published in Affiliate Content, News | Written by Rhys
“Looking at its design and features, the Xigmatek Aegir SD128264 CPU Cooler looks pretty good. It’s definitely a lot smaller than the two Noctua CPU coolers we’ve already reviewed, which means it should fit in most chassis without any problems. The 120mm LED fan is an added bonus, although I’m not sure if everyone will like it. Still, I’m not worry about that … I’m more interested in its cooling performance. It’ll be interesting to see how it will perform against other CPU coolers we’ve tested in our labs.”

With seven case fans included (five 120′s and a couple of 140mm top fans) and a distinctive look incorporating a chevron side window, uniform black finish inside and out and the front “Fleet Release” doors, the DF-85 brings a lot to the table in both performance and aesthetics.”
