Hi all, I just replaced Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler today and it was more silent than my old silver arrow and the temperature are also drop too.

Before old silver arrow with 2 x 140mm fans with CFIII thermal compound:

4.8GHz @ 1.32v @ 1178rpm and 1188rpm

under load with prime95 are 67C, 68C, 68C, 62C (4 hour)

and today with new silver arrow SB-E with 1 x 141mm fan and 1x 150mm and 1 x 140mm fan with CFIII thermal compound:

4.8GHz @ 1.32v @ 1058rpm and 1398rpm and 1388rpm

under load with prime95 are 63C, 64C, 64C, 58C (4 hour)




I give it 4 out of 5 rating because the installation is nightmare and very difficult to hold it steady and the new fan clips is rather horrible, took me almost 10 minutes to get it tight. The old silver arrow is the most easier than this one but this new silver arrow is the winner overall.
 
Updated all three fans set on auto (PWM):

4.8GHz @ 1.32v @ 902rpm and 1003rpm and 1131rpm (very very silent)

under load with prime95 are 66C, 67C, 67C, 61C (1 hour)
 
Your results are very similar to what I found using TY-140 fans on Phanteks. Drop rpm by couple hundred with very little heat increase. I might try OCing some more and see what happens
 
I quite like my Silver Arrow and would be tempted by the SB-E version, if it wasn't for my top PCI-e slot being too close to the cpu socket for it to fit :-(

OP I'm guessing you're not using an X79 board?

Mine is z77x ud5h board with intel i7 2700k sandybridge and using intel hd 3000 onboard graphic as I am saving up to get geforce GTX 670 soon as I had return Asus 6850 graphic card to RMA to ocuk last week after faulty hardware error crash as my power supply is 1250w anyway.
 
I like the look of this heatsink buy god those fans, it's like they looked at their TY-140 and said they're pretty horrid but lets make these new TY-151 even more hideous, that'll teach them for buying our stuff.

What's worse is they are actually decent fans and PWM too, unlike so many others.
 
TY-151 is very big fan in the middle but it push alots of heat out! TY-141 is not bad but I like the TY-140 much better as I will try 2 x TY-140 and 1 x TY-151. Because I believed that 2 x TY-140mm is more silent than the TY-141 fan. I prefer the old fan clips from old silver arrow but sadly it will not fit on this new silver arrow. The new fan clips is nightmare and really nightmare !
 
It's TY-150 :)

I'm running 3x TY-140s on my Phanteks cooler.... and 2 more in my case. Great fans.

I'm intrigued by the new TY-143 specs. If they are as quiet as TY-140 at normal rpm (no reason I can think of they shouldn't be) with the added 130cfm @ 2500rpm... well could be a dream fan for super overclocking while remaining quiet at low cpu load. They do get loud at 2500rpm... 43dBA
 
I can't see that a powerful fan like these 2500 rpm would be as quiet as a 1300 rpm fan at comparable speeds. Everything about the motor would need to be larger, the bearing would be more robust and would probably be noisier as a result. It might not be a massive gain but I'm sure it'd be there.

Shame as those extreme colours are much nicer than their standard fans.
 
Will ocuk bring Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme soon ? As I am interesting of testing this one! But, this cpu cooler look much the same as SB-E but only to add 2 x TY-143 fans on it would save the money!
