Reeven is a relatively unknown PC cooling company that might have some relationship with Scythe, the well known heatsink manufacturer. The "Reeven" is the name of one of Scythe's tower heatsinks and a couple of Reeven's products show up on Scythe's Japanese website. We recently reviewed the Reeven Vanxie, a tiny low profile stock cooler replacement. This time we look at a couple of bigger models, the oddly named Kelveros and Arcziel.
Reeven Kelveros
|
The Reeven Kelveros.
|
In many regards, the Kelveros is a classic, modern, heavy duty, tower heatsink. It stands 16 cm tall, has a substantial stack of aluminum fins, is equipped with a 1900 RPM 120 mm fan, and weighs just over two pounds. The cooler does have a few interesting features, including direct touch heatpipes, a technology that has made it possible for manufacturers to produce good, but not great, heatsinks at modest cost. The Kelveros also has an imposing jagged fin design, similar to the Scythe Yasya. A two-speed fan controller bracket is attached to the fan to augment its PWM capability.

Accessories.
|
The accessories found in the box consist of Intel and AMD mounting hardware, including a rotatable universal backplate, a small packet of thermal grease, and a case sticker. The installation parts seem to be on the weak side, comprised of thin metal brackets and small screws with fine threads. We prefer coarse threads and easy to secure thumbscrews/nuts to minimize fiddling.

Reeven Arcziel
|
The Reeven Arcziel.
|
The Arcziel is a more modestly sized down-blowing cooler with a 92 mm fan, a height of 11.6 cm and weighs slightly over a pound. It utilizes a traditional three heatpipe soldered to a copper base scheme. The fan is raised using four plastic clips, creating a fair amount of separation. This produces less turbulence but also decreases cooling proficiency. It's a questionable choice as the fin-stack is very dense and thick for a top-down heatsink.
|
Accessories.
|
The Arcziel has a similar accessory set, but includes extra fan clips which actually turned out to be not only useful, but entirely necessary. Being a budget heatsink, the mounting options are more basic, pushpins for Intel motherboards, and tension clips for AMD installations.
