SilverStone Announces Three New Argon CPU Coolers
Silverstone rolls out three new CPU coolers, each built with a number of heatpipes and a PWM fan.
Silverstone has released three new CPU coolers, which will make up part of the Argon-series and will work on all of Intel's and AMD's newest sockets.
The Argon AR01 is built using three 8 mm heatpipes that make direct contact with the CPU surface and carries a 120 mm PWM fan. In its entirety, it measures 120 x 75 x 159 mm.
The Argon AR02 is slightly compacter, but it has three 6 mm heatpipes. Instead of a 120 mm fan, it carries a 92 mm PWM fan. It measures 92 x 75 x 134 mm.
The Silverstone AR03 is the biggest of all the coolers, having six 6 mm heatpipes to handle heat transfer. It packs a 120 mm PWM fan that can be user-replaced with a 140 mm fan. Without a fan, it measures 140 x 50 x 159 mm.
At the time of writing, there is no word yet on pricing or availability.

mazty Not a fan of the colouring, but good to see anti-vibration pins (not plastic @brickman, derp).Reply -
COLGeek Yet another CM Hyper 212 clone...If priced along the same lines as the CM, it could be a good choice for some users.Reply -

If it were considerably better, or considerably cheaper, than all comparable coolers, then I'd recommend it. All else being equal, why not go with something that doesn't make your computer look like a kludge?
