Twitter users Ayxerious has published the photo of a presentation that allegedly shows Intel’s next Genartion boxed fan for the 12th generation Core based on the Alder Lake hybrid architecture (details). As a result, Intel will also rely on RGB LEDs in the future, but will stick to the push-pin installation method.
Ayxerious indicates that he himself is not sure whether the photo he shared is authentic. It shows three different boxed fans with axial fans sunk into the cylindrical heat sink in three performance classes: For Core i9 (RH1), for Core i7, i5 and i3 (RM1) and for Pentium and Celeron (RS1).
Not sure if real, intel hasn’t gotten the hint if these are real lol. pic.twitter.com/8YTFtiylMz

The largest expansion stage RH1 therefore relies on RGB-LED lighting that covers the entire cooler, while the middle model RM1, like the Wraith Spire from AMD, only uses an RGB-LED ring. The smallest variant RS1 for Pentium and Celeron does not have lighting.
All three coolers use the push-pin system known from Intel for assembly and dispense with a bracket for attachment to a retention module on the mainboard. For the largest boxed cooler, the Wraith Max / Prism, AMD relies on mounting via the AM4 retention module, which enables a higher contact pressure of the cooler, while the smaller coolers are also based on push-pin.
