Stock performance is in a very competitive location considering this is a budget CPU cooler. It is almost identical to the Evercool Venti, which we thought was an exceptional CPU cooler and it beats more expensive options like the Spire TME III and Sapphire Vapor-X.
Acoustics were exceptional. The stock PWM fan span so slowly that it was almost inaudible against the background noise. This goes to show that the SilverStone AR01 could have done much better in the stock testing were the fan profile more aggressive.
Overclocking sees the SilverStone AR01 keeping pace with the mid range CPU coolers. The results are incredibly impressive for a single fan CPU cooler.
And as you can see from the acoustics those results were achieved with relatively little noise. These results are indeed very impressive. The SilverStone AR01 is a quiet and high performance option that blows other mid range coolers like the Respire T20, Respire T40, Shadow Rock TopFlow and GX-7 out of the water.
