Introduction
Everything is RGB!! Yes, you heard it right. At present, PC industry has been shifted from simple and traditional cooling products to more advance, exquisite, and performance base. From Graphics cards to RAM, and from Motherboards to cooling, every component is speaking of RGB, and it really turned the market into whole new phase of creativity and development. Rather going towards performance only, manufacture now focusing more on appealing looks.

Today, RGB Cooling/case fans have taken over the market and being more in demand, is a great success for hardware companies. So, I have received a couple of RGB fans from Reeven, known as KIRAN. Reeven has been to the policy of being unique in its selection whether it's branding or looks. This time Reeven come up with KIRAN, a brand new case fan.

I am taking a look at Reeven KIRAN 120mm RGB Case Fans with model RE1225FD15EW-RLSP. It’s Reeven’s first Stand-Alone 120mm RGB PWM fan with 7 colors and 3 different operation modes. It has a dimension of (W) 120 x (H) 120 x (D) 25mm and 150g in weight. Having Color Memory Function, gives enough control on settings; to remember the last known color settings when shutdown. A 4-PWM, mid-range airflow fan peaks out to rated 1500 Revolution per minute, while 400 RPM as lowest. The FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) design gives Kiran a life span of up to 120.000 hours and significantly reduces noise levels, ensuring silent operation .

The Unboxing
The KIRAN RGB has a brand new packaging unlike the predecessors. It shipped in a colorful, compact box having black and yellow base color scheme.

Thermal Testing
For thermal testing I used the following PC configuration:
  • ASUS ROG Maximus VI HERO
  • Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4 GHZ (OC 4.5GHz)
  • Gskill Trident X 2x4GB 2400mhz
  • SilverStone TD02-LITE All-in-One Cooler
  • Gigabyte HD 7850 2GB Graphics card
  • Enermax Revolution XT II 650W GOLD PSU
  • Noctua NT-H1 Thermal Compound
The basic test setup is pretty much the same as used in any other CPU Cooler testing, using i5 4670K, a 4th generation INTEL processor, on a ASUS Maximus VI HERO motherboard. For high quality testing, Noctua NT-H1 thermal paste, a renowned thermal compound, is used for a high overclocking system. Reeven KIRAN was set to 100% fan speed through all the tests; 1550 RPM at Peak. All the test conducted on 35C ambient temperature with +/-1 margin of error.

I used Prime95 25.11v – Blend Mode – torture test for the cooler to be tested on an extra high load. This program determines the extent to which your CPU can afford to handle the heat, of course under extremely intensive loads. All the tests were run for 15 minutes and it was a good enough time to put probing and getting desired...
