Has anyone tried the Thermalright Archon?

[Stryker64]

I was just wondering if anyone has the Thermalright Archon, in one review I've read it showed really good performance (on par with the Silverarrow), but I was just wondering if it actually performs that well, because I personally find it unlikely that a slim single tower can get those sort of temps. The main reason why I'm asking is that due to it's slim design you can get full sized RAM heatsinks and I'm going to be helping my friend build a rig and he's insistent on getting Corsair Vengeance for the 4GB each sticks.

What CPU?

Sandy Bridge i7 2600K.

i can guarantee you that the Archon is more than enough for the 2600k, even @ high overclocks. for the 2600k even something like the Mugen 2 would be enough for ~4,5GHz...

and yes i tried it, it's right behind the SA/D14 and that's with only one fan.

Sweet thanks.
