Thermalright Intros Silver Arrow TR4 CPU Cooler
Thermalright today introduced a variant of its Silver Arrow dual fin-stack, tower-type CPU cooler for AMD socket TR4, meant for Ryzen Threadripper processors. Capable of handling thermal loads of up to 320W, the cooler can be paired with even upcoming 250W TDP 24-core and 32-core Threadripper II models. Although bearing the same name, the Silver Arrow TR4 bears little design resemblance with the Silver Arrow ITX-R or the Silver Arrow SB-E, or even the original Silver Arrow from 2010. It's the largest cooler of this class, with an enlarged nickel-plated copper base designed to provide full coverage of the Threadripper IHS, from which eight 6 mm-thick heat pipes draw heat, with the two aluminium fin-stacks propagating along their ends.
Nested between the two fin-stacks is a 140 mm fan which takes in 4-pin PWM input, spins between 600 to 2,500 RPM, pushing 53.3 - 220.9 m³/h, with a noise output ranging between 21 - 45 dBA. With its fan in place, the Silver Arrow TR4 measures 155 mm x 103 mm x 163 mm (LxWxH). The narrow width ensures clearance for the memory slots that flank the CPU socket from either side. The fin-stack itself is offset sideways to ensure clearance for the topmost PCI-Express slot on your motherboard. You can latch on two additional fans. A syringe of Thermalright's Chill Factor III TIM comes included. The cooler tips the scales at 1,050 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

I was just trolling the guy that said : "it has more heatpipes so yeah it's better" 10 IQ kinda of answer.
However, all things are rarely equal. More heat pipes may be better or worse than less heat pipes, if they are larger, they will deliver more per pipe. but that still depends on length and other factors.
I (well my youngest son) have a 7 year old later stepping Sandy Bridge Build (GTX 1070) still going strong on a 4.8 OC USing a Silver Arrow, but fans are way lower rpm and machine is silent.
I've heard alot of great things about their coolers. I do have a Noctua NH-D14 that I used on my FX-9590 and it did an amazing job, but I ended up swapping it out with a Thermaltake Ultimate 3.0 AIO because the rear fins of the Noctua were blocking any airflow to the North Bridge on my board. I do see the Thermalright Silver Arrow on Newegg for $102 U.S.D. but there are no reviews yet.
