Silver Arrow ITX

Dropped the full load temps of my Ryzen 1600 from >75C to 50C which is great.Happy with the heatsink, and Nan's Gaming gear even had the updated AM4 mounting brackets thrown in the box.BUT. NOTE to AM4 users. You will still be missing a part needed to actually mount the heatsink to an AM4 board! This isn't Nan's fault - I also emailed ThermalRight support and requested an AM4 mounting kit for this specific heatsink, and they ALSO didn't include the part.I don't know it's name, but if you go here http://thermalright.com/product/true-universal-btk/ the missing piece is the "crossbar" that actually secures the heatsink to the motherboard mounting bracket (the part that actually presses the heatsink down onto the processor in the socket). The one that comes with the heatsink is too short to span across the AM4 compatible bracket.I ended up just taking a strip of aluminum, drilling 2 holes in it and using that, but... that's not really ideal.I just wanted to give a heads up to AM4 users. Hopefully newer shipments of this heatsink will just include a compatible crossbar.

I bought this for a x79 dell motherboard (pulled from an alienware aurora r4). It is insanely quiet and kept the i7-3820 just as cool as an 120mm aio under IntelBurnTest(non avx/12gb of ram).It did end up mounted vertically where the exhaust would blow upwards and not towards the read, but it fit perfectly and didn't mess with any of the ram (again ram pulled from the same alienware with no heatsink) or the vrm heatsink.And while it doesn't seem to have the correct mounting plate (it is an older model of the silver arrow) for the upgraded mounting kit for AM4/ryzen, still very nice of Nan's Gaming Gear to provide one with this even without asking

While this may be labeled a m-itx cooler it does not fit all m-itx cases. This cooler is GIANT! It did look very nice in its bag, though.

Very nice CPU cooler and easy to install.looks super bad ass in my case NZxt s340 elite if you are looking for a quiet air cooler this is it . My temps at idol are 29c at load 58c

I installed this cooler in my RYZEN 1700 setup, out of the box, this cooler does NOT support AM4 socket, and I know this before ordering it.My plan was to modify the existing back plate and the anchoring mounts by drilling the needed holes to match the AM4 holes.But that didn't work since as out of the box Back plate is so tough that you can't make additional holes with normal drills, you need a machine shop to do that :(So I modified the existing back plate of my Asus Prime X370 Pro by enlarging the 4 holes, then followed the same instructions as provided by Thermalright manual.Installing the Anchoring Mounts was at 45 degree using (Intel CPU pre-drilled holes). So my CPU cooler is not facing the RAM DIMMs nor PCIe solt (it is in-between).The final installation is firm and solid, the contact area between the base of the CPU cooler and the top of the CPU (IHS) is covering almost 90%.The cooling performance is amazing and above my expectation, the max CPU temps used to be in mid 70s degree with Wraith Spire cooler, with Silver Arrow ITX it is mid 50s with stock Frequency. Overclocking to 3.7 GHz all cores is in mid 60s.Noise level is excellent, you can't hear the fan even at full speed.I'm really satisfied with this cooler.Edit: just received the AM4 compatible brackets from Thermalright. It took 6 calendar days from shipping to receiving the mounts.The Brackets/back-plate are exactly the same expect as the original except they have additional holes for AM4.

There's a slight tilt and the finish is prone to fingerprints, but the temperatures are really good given the noise levels, and the cooler looks amazing too.

Hält meine CPU ca. 8K über Raumtemperatur. Das ist super! Hatte erst mit Wasserkühlung geliebäugelt. Aber mal im Ernst: Das ist für eine nicht übertaktete CPU wahrscheinlich so nützlich wie ein Fahrrad für eine Kuh.Optisch macht das Teil auch viel her. Ich habe ein Sichtfenster im Tower und finde den Anblick voll übertrieben xD

1- Vous avez absolument tous les éléments nécessaires de fournis et de plus d'une qualité indéniable.2- Aussi silencieux que du Noctua/ BeQuiet3- Les performances sont très bonnes, 35°c au repos et 62°c MAX après 5 rendus sur Cinebench avec un i5-4690k overclocké4- Attention à la taille, mesurez bien l'espace entre le dessus de votre CPU et la vitre (ou capot) de votre tour, il est massif. (ICI dans un boitier Corsair carbide air 540)5- Selon votre airflow il peut passe en verticale ou en horizontale.
