Kingwin Revolution RVT12025 and RVT120025D Coolers

The aluminum convection fins are also arranged to form a shelf of sorts suspended above the base by four six millimeter heatpipes.  One more heatpipe than the RVT 12025 but all are two millimeters narrower.

The 120mm fan is powered with the same 4-pin PWM connector with rubber vibration dampeners we saw a few minutes ago.

  

The fins of the Kingwin RVT 12025D are cut on the bottom with a scallop sectioning.  I'm not sure what, if anything, this does for air channeling or velocity but it looks better than a bland square cut.  Looking a bit closer we see the four six millimeter heatpipes at the base.  Again, the area was smooth with no irregularities at the contact point.

  

Last up is a shot of the Intel mounting clips screwed in place to give you an idea of scale.

Installation

Mounting both coolers was relatively smooth.  The RVT 12025 required that the fan be removed so I could access the stock style Intel push pin mounts.  Other than that small irritant, installation went without incident.  We had a similar issue with the RVT 12025D.  The cooler is so wide that the only way to get your hand in to push the push pins down was to remove any expansion cards and slip your hand in length wise.  Both of these installation quirks is eliminated if you have a removable motherboard tray in your case.
