Here are some of the first pictures of the latest-generation Argon 11 low-profile CPU cooler by SilverStone. Coupled with the fan, the cooler sits just 49 mm above the motherboard PCB when installed. It features a dense aluminium fin-stack to which heat drawn directly from the base is conveyed by four 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes. The base itself is made of a stack of the fins. The heatsink is ventilated by a 92 mm fan with PWM control. SilverStone claims that the cooler can handle thermal loads of up to 95W, making it fit for a wide range of CPUs.

Very interesting. I think it's been a while since we've had innovation at a fundamental level like this for air coolers. Can't wait to see how this affects real-world performance.

Seen it all before, nothing new here.
Where is the innovation?

Looks pretty much like the boxed coolers from AMD before the Wraith model was released.

Doesn't get much more direct than that!

I think this is the shortest 120mm, correct me if I'm wrong.

I am using one of them now on a Phenom ii 550. It keeps it between 27 and 47. Its a bit noisy, apart from that it is a very good cooler so i think this Silverstone one will be a pretty good buy.
