Thermalright Silver Arrow

Just recieved my Silver Arrow today and after getting over the shock at the size of the behemoth (Please fit in my Shinobi!) I was wondering. Are the Ty-150 fans it comes with any good or is it worth replacing them?

Silver Bullet?

lol

If the fan fits, it's fine.
If it doesn't fit, keep it to yourself or I'll never hear the end of it from doyll

The fans are some of, if not the best around so keep them.

Good to hear...shame about the godawful colour. Luckily I haven't got a windowed case.

Heh I had one, but I passed it along with my Q6600 overclocked to 3.6GHz system to my dad.

I agree with the point about the colour of the fan frame...seriously, they look like some sort of 15 years old PVC plastic WTF!?

But yea the performance of the fans and the heatsink together were great. Even on the Q6600 overclocked to 3.6GHz on 1.50v, it still never hit above 65C in stress test (in a good airflow case of course).

I'm getting a few Corsair AF120's into the case so hopefully airflow should be sufficient, don't want it to sound like a jet engine though.
