With i5 2500K running at 3.7 GHz Argon AR01 takes a 2.2°C and 0.5°C lead over Prolimatech Panther at max and automatic fan speed, respectively.
Here we see Argon AR01 taking the lead spot as well, even at low fan speed, though, not by much. Lead at max speed increased to 3°C. Now let's how it compares when we push i5 2500K to 4.5 GHz.
Situation doesn't change much. SilverStone Argon AR01 still has the lead. At low speed, 0.5°C over Prolimatech Panther might not seem much, but keep in mind that in this case Argon is significantly quieter than both Panther and Zalman CNPS11X Performa. At 2200RPM AR01 performs very well and remains fairly silent.
