SilverStone Intros Argon Series AR07 and AR08 CPU Coolers
SilverStone made additions to its Argon line of CPU coolers, with the new AR07 and AR08. The larger AR07 measures 140mm (W) x 50mm (D) x 159mm (H), including fan. Its heatsink weighs in at 453 g. Its rather contemporary design involves an aluminium fin-stack with a wavy "diamond edge" patterned fins that are designed to increase air-flow/turbulence, and with it heat dissipation, allowing SilverStone to keep fan-speeds and noise low. Three 8 mm-thick copper heat pipes draw heat directly from the CPU, to the fin-stack. The bundled 140 mm spinner does 800-1,500 RPM, pushing up to 93 CFM of air. The cooler supports all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011v3, LGA115x, AM3+, and FM2+.
Next up, is the smaller AR08. This cooler is much smaller than the AR07, measuring 92mm (W) x 50mm (D) x 134mm (H) with fan, and weighing in at 285 g without fan. While it retains the aluminium fin-stack design elements from its larger sibling, including its three copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the CPU, it relies on a much smaller 92 mm spinner that does 1,500 to 2,800 RPM, pushing up to 49.5 CFM of air. The cooler still supports all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011v3, LGA115x, AM3+, and FM2+. SilverStone didn't detail pricing.
