Thermalright Silver Arrow CPU Cooler Review

Thermalright are no strangers to dual radiator tower heatsinks. In fact they were one of the first to introduce the concept with their famous IFX-14 cooler. Although it never received as much attention as the much revered Ultra 120 Extreme, the IFX-14 was a revolutionary design that allowed users to attach up to three fans of varying thicknesses (25mm/38mm) so it proved highly efficient for brute air cooling performance. However, the Ultra 120 Extreme has now been succeeded by the superior Venomous X, which proved to be one of the best coolers we have tested here at Vortez, so it's now the IFX-14's turn to undergo the same treatment. The result is the Thermalright Silver Arrow.

Some of you may notice that the Silver Arrow is reminiscent of the Cogage Arrow and that's because the latter was designed by the same engineer team. Cogage is a budget oriented company that falls under the umbrella of its parent company, Thermalright. That's not to say that the Silver Arrow is a direct copy of the Cogage solution because it has undergone several refinements to deliver a highly polished product that is deserving of its Thermalright heritage. The most significant difference is the inclusion of Thermalright's latest TR TY-140 fans but more on that later.
