Jag kör den i Push-Pull och prestandan i förhållande till ljudnivån är extremt bra.
Kan ju länka delar av det jag skrivit tidigare när Archon kommit på tal:
En äldre version med en 140mm fläkt:

Of course, we are particularly interested in comparison the obtained results against those of the today’s best air-coolers. With one default 140 mm fan the new Thermalright Archon didn’t yield even 1 degree to Thermalright Silver Arrow super-cooler in its default configuration with two such fans! This is a pretty impressive result for a single-array tower cooler, don’t you think so? But Archon looks even more impressive with two fans: it simply cools an overclocked six-core processor better than Silver Arrow by 3°C in quiet mode at 810 RPM and by 2°C at maximum 1310 RPM speed of two TY-140 fans. The difference is small, but if you have been reading our reviews, you should remember that Silver Arrow had about the same advantage over Noctua NH-D14, which remained the best of the best for almost 9 months! I believe I don’t have to tell you that ThermoLab Baram 2010, which used to be the most effective single-array cooler out there is no far behind Archon.
Conclusion
Well, what can I say? Thermalright designed a truly magical cooler. Although two-array heatsinks are currently extremely popular, Archon turned out just as efficient as Silver Arrow, and with two fans attached to it, it proved even more efficient. In our opinion, there are several factors behind this impressive victory. Firstly, it is very smart heatpipe layout inside the heatsink that allows distributing the heat over the heatsink more evenly. Secondly, we shouldn’t forget about thick 0.5 mm heatsink plates soldered to the heatpipes. Thirdly, it is the use of an extremely effective Thermalright TY-140 fan. And the fourth factor is cooler’s reliable retention providing very secure hold and impeccably polished contact surface of the base plate. All these factors combined allowed Thermalright Archon to become the today’s most effective cooling product. Of course, we shouldn’t also forget that the bent base of the cooler could have turned out to be an ideal fit for the non-lapped heat-spreader of our test CPU. However, this is highly unlikely.
We realy liked this cooler. In fact, it proved to be the best cooler out there today. Unfortunately, the drawbacks we pointed out above do not allow us to crown Thermalright Archon with the Editor's Choice, but we are happy to award it with our Ultimate Innovation title.

The Archon is a pretty amazing cooler. You get the performance of the Venomous X / TRUE but with an included fan and larger fan support for reduced noise. It doesn’t impede on the adjacent DIMM slots and as long as your case is large enough to fit the Archon you shouldn’t have any issues. I really like the design and performance of the Archon and the only thing that remains to be seen is just what this thing will cost.
Vill du ha ännu bättre prestanda så komplettera med en fläkt till i push-pull. Väldigt bra kylförmåga då.

Men OBSERVERA att Archon är en väldigt "hög" kylare så mät så att den verkligen får plats i chassit
Among the drawbacks of the new Thermalright Archon we should definitely mention its height: not every system case out there can successfully accommodate a 170 mm tall cooler.
