Introduction

The Argon series coolers are designed to provide the best cooling solution for your CPU. Featuring three thick copper heat pipes connected to

the base using heat-pipe direct contact (HDC) technology, this cooler retains the signature Argon series feature. To improve performance even

further, unique and exclusive heatsink fin designs such as interweaving diamond edge and arrow guides are included. Coupled with an all-new

PWM fan with exceptional airflow to noise ratio, the AR07/ AR08 can quickly and quietly push away excessive CPU heat while also cooling down

surrounding motherboard components for effective overall thermal dissipation. For users looking for a no-nonsense top performing cooler without

the premium price, the Argon AR07/AR08 is the perfect choice.
