Thermalright Intros Silver Arrow TR4 CPU Cooler

The pipes are what transfers heat away from the base plate, the fins further transfer that heat to a larger dissipation area, the fan then blows the heat away.
More pipes=more heat transfer.

In a fantasy world more pipes means more heat transfer. There is like 50 different variables that will affect the cooling performance of a heatsink.

I'll wait the review between this one and the Noctua so i can have a laugh.

If you need to ask that you're in the wrong forum, knitting discussion is further down the road.

Hey, be nice.

I thought it was a tech site. Since when does the fact that it has more heat pipes than an other heatsink means it performs better???

Actually in general term, the extra heatpipes allow for an increased removal of heat from the area of contact. How quickly the heat can be transferred from the fins depends on design and the fan selected.

Yeah let's not forget quality of the material used for the heatpipes, the size of the heatpipes, how they are connected the coldplate.

I was just trolling the guy that said : "it has more heatpipes so yeah it's better" 10 IQ kinda of answer.

I was right, knitting is what you need.

my IFX-14 with 2 TY-147 was quite heavy it was 40g heavier than a Silver Arrow IB-E (790g +160g per fan)

iirc a TR HR-02 Macho is good for 240w with a single TY-143/7 and the Silver Arrow/Silver Arrow IB-E were their "extreme" category, so 320w should be doable single fan although dual would be preferable.
oh and a Macho is just slightly lighter (720g +160g fan)

no mobo i used these 2 beauty did bend or had any issues


i know i promised once to not repost that pics ... but how can i resist ...

Spoiler: IFX-14 1.110kg

How well does it perform? I just replaced my NZXT Kraken X62 with the Coolermaster MA621P TR4 Edition. Under a 3 hour run of Prime 95 it never exceeded 62°C on my Threadripper 1950X but that is with 3 120mm fans.

That really says more about you than it does them. And generally, more/bigger heatpipes are better for cooling.

I'd stick with what you have given that performance.

I don't have it overclocked, but I don't know how well it will hold up. it is only rated at 250W. I have never used a solid nickel cooler before so I was wondering what these would get if it had 3x140mm fans

More heat pipes... all things being equal... is a good thing. Bigger heat pipes, all things being equal, is a good thing.

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 never used Thermalright before but
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.
