     While some lucky people are heading to San Francisco as we speak i find myself over my test bench checking out the latest Thermalright CPU Cooler. Many of you by now know how much i like performing CPU Cooler reviews, not only because they are indeed quite easy to do, and also quite fast, but also because we currently happen to have one of the largest LGA1366 CPU Cooler databases on the web. Today however i am more happy than usual since the Thermalright solution on our test bench is one of the largest CPU Coolers that have ever reached our hands, the new Silver Arrow.

 

 

 

 

 

      Thermalright is an elite design house that manufactures cooling products for computer components for the best quality and performance your money can buy. In 2002, AMD released its first generation Thunderbird CPU and since then we have been there every step of the way to counter high voltage and high heat with innovative design and highly acclaimed cooling solutions not only for AMD but for Intel as well. One of early well known solutions was the SK-6. With many positive and rave reviews under its belt Thermalright bolted to the top as the heat sink manufacturer mostly preferred by Overclockers and enthusiasts around the World. To this day, innovation never left our vocabulary as we keep coming up with leading edge designs staying ahead of the competition.

 

 

 

 

 

     The Silver Arrow follows the footsteps of the Thermalright IFX14, a massive dual heatsink CPU Cooler capable of carrying up to 3 fans in push and pull configuration. Of course other companies have similar units in their arsenal such as the NH-D14 by Noctua or the Corrator DS by Coolink but the design of the Silver Arrow is the best. Cogage, sister company to Thermalright, used to carry an almost identical CPU Cooler named Arrow but launching it again under the Thermalright name and with a richer bundle seems like the right choice to me.
