Thermalright Archon SB-E X2 CPU Cooler Review
Conclusions
Contents
The Thermalright Archon SB-E X2 is impressive in its construction. Eight heatpipes (actually working as if there were 16, since they are U-shaped) is not a common feature, and two 140 mm fans is the current standard for high-end air coolers.
Unfortunately, the cooling performance was good, but not at th
e level we expected in light of its excellent specifications. On the other hand, the Archon SB-E X2 is very quiet, which is nice.
Being a good cooler, with good cooling performance, but not a good buy due to its relatively high price, the Archon SB-E X2 receives our Bronze Award.
