Cheap, lightweight and simple design but efficient and fairly silent cooler. A leader in 35 EUR price category

review by foxtrot814



Summary:
SilverStone Argon AR01 is a lightweight, simple looking cooler targeted at 35 EUR price. It's a standard tower type heatsink composed of 52 aluminum fins and 3 x 8 mm copper heatpipes. It comes with a 120 mm white/blue themed Sleeve bearing fan, which spins at 1000-2200 RPM making an airflow of up to 81.4 CFM. While 2200 RPM might sound terrible, it actually manages to stay fairly silent. AR01 uses standard installation with brackets and holding bar. It can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. One of the highlights is its anti-vibrational fan mounts. These are implemented perfectly and allow easy fan installation even in a compact case. As usual, cooler supports dual fans. SilverStone Argon AR01 offers great performance for its price
