The Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E is a massive CPU cooler that covers most new platforms. It's massive size starts with 8 x 6mm sintered heat-pipes that are nickel plated for slower oxidation ensuring a long lasting cooler. Next the fin area is an astounding 154mm x 120mm in surface heat dissipation area with 120mm and 140mm fan compatibility. Finally this cooler comes stock with dual low noise PWM fans to keep your temperatures to the lowest possible. (1 x TYR-150 and 1 x TYR-141) A third fan can be mounted to this cooler due to it's unique twin high rise design.

Noctua Comparison

I don''t actually own one of these, I have Noctua''s with 2 fans and 6 pipes. It''s the better of the two they offer for G34 Sockets. The noctuas are great, but I am upgrading from 2 x 8core CPU''s to 2 x 16 core 6282 SE 140watt Opterons. Can these be made to fit a G34 socket? if not do they make one like it that does? I couldn''t find one but I always have problems finding things, DUH.I put down a 5 because by the looks of it and with the option for a third fan, I can'' imagine it would be anything less.
The best CPU cooler available

I''m simply amazed by this thing''s ability to swallow heat. It does a FAR better job than either of my liquid-cooling blocks on the same setup, and it also does better than the Megahalems by about 15 degrees! And all while being VERY quiet. Even the mounting is an improved process compared to others.
I ordered the 3rd fan option, but you really don''t need it. The front fan definitely prevents you from using any memory that has a heat spreader rising above its circuit board - and most memory sticks do. You can fit the very shortest sticks under it, or you can simply not mount a fan in front; just put one in the middle and one on the end. Believe me that arrangement still outperforms anything else. Only an active cooling process that takes things below ambient could possibly beat this.
I''ve been waiting for a cooler like this; all I can ask of Thermalright is to keep making ''em taller!
KICK ASS !

Thermalright has done it again with this CPU cooler which in my opinion blows every other cooler out of the water and i have tried almost every other air cooler out there,this thing is HUGE and has stunning good looks but the performance is where it stands out.....fantastic product !!
