Review on ❄️ The Ultimate Cooling Power: Thermalright SILVER ARROW 130 Silver Unleashed! by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent cooling and clearance for ITX MOBO and some SFF cases

Instructions are vague but installation is easy. I took the advice and replaced the standard fan with a 120mm Noctua Redux 1700 PWM. And then I added a second 100mm fan on the front of the cooler. This is the perfect height to release a ram (itx mobo) and still fits the hull height limit. (92mm also works). Secure the bottom fan frame 100mm holes directly between the cooling fins (the type that comes with most case fans) using silicone screws. Used longer silicone screws to attach the 100mm fan holes on the top of the frame to the holes on the top rear of the frame on a noctua redux 120mm fan sandwiched between the two halves of the cooler. The top of both fans is in the same plane. Installing two fans on this cooler works great. The addition of a fan on the intake side of this cooler changed the airflow dynamics of the entire case and temperatures dropped. This is a very good product, although the gloves that come with it are creepy and look like they fit ET.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
