THE SILVER ARROW EXTREME

The quite huge Silver Arrow Extreme heatsink has been around for a few months coupled with the normal SB-E LGA2011 model. It measures 155mm in length, 105mm in width and 165mm in height while weighing a total of 803g.

As you can see from the above picture six heatpipes pass through the main heatsink body made by a total of 51 aluminum fins while the other two heatpipes pass through the secondary parts made by a total of 47 and 40 aluminum fins each.

Just like the rest of the Silver Arrow family the Extreme is also a dual tower (sandwich) type.

What I’ve always liked with sandwich type coolers like the Silver Arrow Extreme is that you can add up to three fans in push and pull configuration (Thermalright even supplies the extra clips required) for the best possible performance.

The special arrow design of the fins allows cool air to pass through easier/faster for rapid heat dissipation.

Although this is not important still this is the first time i actually see a Thermalright sticker on one of their CPU Coolers.

The eight 6mm nickel plated copper heatpipes should provide faster heat transfer from the base up to the two heatsinks.

As always the nickel plated base comes with a mirror like finish and is even from side to side.

The red/orange 140mm PWM TR-TY143 fans are not only the latest ones manufactured by Thermalright but also their fastest to date since they can achieve speeds of up to 2500RPM and produce maximum airflow levels of up to 130.04CFM at 45dBA of
noise.

Thermalright provides a total of 8 rubber anti-vibration pads which you need to place onto the four corners of the two heatsinks prior to mounting the fans. Still since they provide an extra set of mounting clips for a 3rd fan i was surprised that they didn't also provide 12 anti-vibration pads instead of 8.

The mounting clips for the fans are not the best out there so at first you may have a hard time mounting the fans but once you get the hang of it all is well.

With both fans installed the Silver Arrow Extreme now measures 170mm in length, 130mm in width and 170mm in height while weighing a total of 1141g.
