Should I keep my thermalright silver arrow or replace?

[user1453]

Hi Guys

I currently have a thermalright silver arrow on a 5820K/2070super based system.

The case is a silverstone FT05 case so I think i should keep air cooling rather than water.

I am thinking of upgrading the CPU/motherboard/memory to one of the new AMD 5000 based processors when they come out.

My question is should I attempt to contact thremalright to get the appropriate bracketry for my existing cooler or should I replace it with something new.

Have better coolers come out in the last 5 or so years?

I don't see why not stick with it if you can get the brackets. It's a good cooler.

I havnt really been following air cooling closely the past few years, hence the question, I didnt know if it still counted as a good air cooler.

Quite a few different versions of Silver Arrow.
But it certainly should be still good to go.
(assuming base isn't very convex for concave Intel heatspreaders)

Original 4x 8mm heatpipe and later 8x 6mm heatpipe models are best with 6x 6mm models being a little warmer.
