Conclusion
| General | + | - | |
| With the Silver Arrow IB-E, Thermalright shows a remarkable cooler. In terms of cooling capacity this particular model has been able to quite easily keep up with the the other powerful competitors we've tested so far. It's not only the performance that is on a very high level, also the build qulity of the Silver Arrow IB-E is excellent. We do appreciate it when manufacturers have an eye for details. In this case we're for example talking about the finisher caps at the ends of the heatpipes. |

| Installation | + | - | |
| The installation process is easy and you can mount the cooler quickly. Nevertheless we didn't want to install it without consulting the manual. Another thing which is important to us is the fact that this cooler is compatible with all recent sockets from Intel and AMD. | - Compatible with Intel and AMD sockets | - We recommend to have a look at the manual | |
| Performance / Lautstärke | + | - | |
| When it comes to performance, the Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E is capable enough to keep todays CPUs at very reasonable temperatures. In this case it doesn't matter if you look at temperatures with the fan at 12V, 7V or in PWM mode. Apart from temperatures we also have a look at noise levels. Despite the fact, that the fans rotate comparably slow this isn't one of the most silent coolers we've had for testing. We would appreciate if this cooler was inaudible, especially in idle conditions. | - Cooling capacity | ||
| Recommendation / Price | + | - | |

If you're looking for a very well performing CPU cooler, then Thermalright Silver Arrow IB-E is definitely a good choice. With a price of 62 Euro these days, also the price is on a reasonable level. |
