Kingwin RVT-9225: Budget priced cooling results in budget performance

Cooling at Stock Speed

Performance at stock speed (2.93GHz) with the RVT-9225 is exactly as measured with the Intel retail unit. While the stock unit is quite decent, we expected to see a small improvement here. However, it's under load conditions that an upgraded heatsink/fan unit should make a big difference. Load conditions are measured through looping the Far Cry River demo and logging temperature results. The highest sustained temperature is recorded.

Once again, the performance of the RVT-9225 is almost exactly that of the Intel unit. Unless it can distance itself in some manner, the RVT-9225 will clearly lose to the "free" cooler.
