Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Special Edition Review

In our noise level tests we switched off all the case fans and replaced the AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card with a HD 5550 passive model so were  just taking into account the noise generated by the cooler fans themselves.

We measured the noise level with a Digital Noise Level meter at a distance of 1 m from the front of the system.

In the acoustic tests, the Silver Arrow offers excellent performance, recording lower than the minimum 30 dBA sensitivity on our noise level meter.  There's not much to choose between the NH-D14 and Silver Arrow in this area as they will both be completely inaudible when used inside a quality case.
