Final Thoughts
Without a doubt there was no superhero level tech discovered here today. Simply put this a modest cooler that will do better than your stock one, but not really anything that will make front page news on The Daily Planet.
I will say though that Reveen have a solid product here with excellent packaging and accessories, a mounting system that works, and a decent mid level cooler. Certainly the construction is top quality and the design is adequate.
If you are looking for something to brag to your friends about, move along to something a bit higher end as this will only leave you out to dry. To top the mediocre performance, the sounds that will proceed from your rig under load will make you wish that you had instead invested in an animal cage as there must be some sort of creature living inside it.
There is no official price, but it is rumored to be around $55 USD! Overall ThinkComputers gives the Reeven Arcziel 12 CPU Cooler a 5 out of 10 score.
Pros:
– Quality construction
– Nice packaging
– Mounting is simple
Cons:
– LOUD
– Mediocre cooling performance
Not counted towards score, but if the price proves to be accurate it will be way too high to compete with similar performing coolers.

SOOOO.. the reeven beats the dark rock by 2-4 degrees and you say it has mediocre performance but dark rock is first class?
Please explain 🙂
