Testing Results, Maximum Fan Speed
Starting things off, let's take a look at the AR07's performance with the fan at its full, 12 V fan speed.
The SilverStone Argon AR07 performs just as expected for a direct heatpipe contact design, with excellent thermal performance under low thermal loads that actually rivals that of much larger and more expensive CPU coolers. However, its performance degrades quickly as the load increases, intensifying the performance gap between the Argon AR07 and its more expensive counterparts.

Still, the overall performance of the SilverStone Argon AR07 seems to be considerably superior than the slightly less expensive Cooler Master EVO 212, delivering substantially better thermal performance at slightly lower noise levels.

"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.
