Testing Results, Low Fan Speed
Switching things up a bit, let's next take a look at cooler performance with the AR07's fan taken down to 7 Volts.
Operating the fan SilverStone Argon AR07 near its lowest speed point changes virtually nothing in regard to the cooler’s ranking and competitiveness. The thermal performance of the Argon AR07 still is very good while the thermal load is low, comparable to that of much more expensive products, but its efficiency seems to decrease as the thermal load increases.
| Core Temperature, Constant Thermal Load (Low Fan Speed) |
Despite of the lower efficiency of the Argon AR07 when handling high thermal loads, its superiority in comparison with smaller and/or simpler products is now becoming apparent. SilverStone’s offering provides measurably greater performance than the smaller (and cheaper) Cooler Master EVO 212, as well as “advanced” stock CPU coolers, such as the AMD Wraith and the Intel BXTS15A.

"Even though these will be in contact with the CPU, the aluminum part of the base exists only for the mechanical cohesion of the construct and should play virtually no part on the transfer of thermal energy away from the CPU core."Is this because heat will follow the path of least resistance to a cooler area, like current does? I'm not sure about that detail of how conduction cooling will behave. I imagine, though, that the aluminum will be performing heat transfer, just not as much as the copper heatpipes.
