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

Noise Levels
Noise levels are measured using a sound meter at distances of 6" and 24". The ambient noise level was measured at 38.3 dB(A).
This unit is quite loud, partially due to the 92mm fan (as opposed to 120mm on many recent models). The noise is not high pitched or overly irritating, but it is a steady drone that could even be heard from the next room with the door open.
So far, the RVT-9225 hasn't bettered the performance of the stock retail Intel cooler, but it is significantly louder than that counterpart. Unless it can pull out a win in overclocking, things are looking grim for the RVT-9225.

There must be sth wrong with the installation. I have seen many users report much lower temperature which is comparable with TRUE. I suspect it's because of TIM apply method. HDT needs different TIM apply method to take advantage of the HDT concept.Bieszczad - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - link
Could you point me to some instructions how to apply the paste in a HDT cooler setup? The cooler booklet was not clear on this matter. Thank you.Bieszczad - Wednesday, July 16, 2008 - link
