The Taiwan SilverStone manufacturer has announced the forthcoming release of the Argon AR11 CPU cooler, constructed for space effective systems.

 

This low profile product is Intel Socket LGA1150/1151/1155/1156 compatible and can be utilized with processors of up to 95 W capacity or more (a framework with the high air flow level is needed in such cases).

 

The heatsink is built with an array of aluminium fins and four 6 mm copper heat pipes. The heat-pipe direct contact (HDC) tech is applied. Chilling is ensured by the low noise (44.5 dBA at most) 92 mm PWM fan, the declared error-free running time of which reaches 70,000 hours. The fan rotary velocity lies in the range of 1,200–3,000 rpm, while providing up to 55.7 CFM air flow.

 

The specialty’s dimensions are 97 mm (W) x 47 mm (H) x 94 mm (D), including fan, and its weight equals 290 g. SilverStone Argon AR11 will hit the …
