Review on CPU Cooler Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme Rev. B by Jnis Kokins ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

I WILL SAY IMMEDIATELY - IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT I DESCRIBED BELOW THERE IS NO MEANING IN BUYING THIS COOLER FOR TOP STONES, better go for dropsy. And so - We buy two types of obrosive paper (skins), one with a grain of 300 the second of 1500 - 2022. We are looking for an absolutely flat surface (mirror, glass from an old scanner, etc.) with a clamp or molar tape (in my case) glue the edges stretching the paper so that it does not flutter, we put our cooler to the edge with the sole and pressing it away from us with our fingers (in no case not back and forth or in a circle - you will kill the edges) we start important ! slowly wash the sole periodically checking the plane from the corners by applying something straight (a metal ruler) first with a 300th then to remove the carpets with a 1500th. After that, we get a top cooler that gives - 8-11 degrees, no instant temperature rise and compliance with the TDP specification declared by the manufacturer. I hope this review is helpful to someone.

Pros
  • If you finish it! - ABOUT THIS IN THE COMMENTS, you will get a top cooler for cooling any top stone with a hellish TDP of 300 - 310 watts. Also, the advantages include support for Intel version 13. (there should be a sticker on the box, see photo) Excellent thermal paste, even cooler than mx5 (checked - 1 2 degrees in favor of tf4) Reliable complete fastening of a cooler. (thick metal brackets, screw fastenings of all parts, excellent backplates for Intel, while AMD already has a plate)
Cons
  • All coolers of this series have a bump on the sole, somewhere more, somewhere less. (I got a cut of more than half a millimeter, if you count from corner to corner) And this leads to a very rapid increase in the temperature of multi-core cpu (rizen 5950) under extreme load of all cores. Just because of this, there is no talk of any dissipation of 320 watts at all, he howls with two turntables, but there is no sense. Also, if you have high-profile RAM, then the valve on the front panel will stick out and the standard ATX case will simply not close, or use two dies in slots 2 and 4.
