The packaging for the Raijintek Aidos is quite small and very light, though this is to be expected with a budget cooler in my opinion. On the front we have an image of the Aidos which also allows us to see it does in fact have direct contact heatpipes.
On one side we find the specifications list so we can make sure this will perform/fit as and where needed.
On the other side we have another look at the cooler but from a different angle to the front of the box. Raijintek have also added a features lists to this side.
On the back of the box we have three more images highlighting the features of the Aidos. Also, in the bottom left Raijintek have included a bit of contact information in the way of two separate emails and their website URL.
On the top of the box is a short paragraph describing what the Aidos was designed for.
Inside the box is the Aidos and fan, installation guide , thermal paste and all the mounting hardware and screws for both AMD and Intel sockets.

Why is every single review for this cooler different? I have now come across 5 different reviews with 4 of them for certain using this same exact i7 4770k and 2 show pretty poos numbers with this being one of the two and the other two using the i7 and the third using a cpu I can’t think of atm showing performance that beats the hyper 212 evo in just about every area except a 1 degree loss with an overclock idle temp. I also seem to get conflicting opinions from people who have purchased this cooler pretty much matching the reviews. It either shows there is some variance in installation or the build quality of the cooler. Unfortunately I’m waiting for one in the mail and can’t even pawn it off to my son since he his cpu runs hotter then the skylake I planned to use it with. I wasn’t hoping for much but considering the low tdp of skylake expected to at least be able to safely overclock my i5 6400 to 4ghz but all these reviews makes me wonder.
Unfortunately without access to the same cooler we can’t re-run the tests to find out if it was a seating/fitting issue. I don’t think we would be able to find out if it’s a random problem across manufacturing without access to a large number of coolers and ran the tests again in lab conditions… something that simply isn’t possible for us to do.
TL:DR – Best of luck, hope you get a good one 🙂
