Compact Intel LGA Cooler
The Silverstone Argon SST-AR09-115XS is a low-profile air cooler built for Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155 and 1156 sockets. Three 6 mm copper heat-pipes make direct contact with the CPU lid, moving heat into a dense aluminium fin stack. A 60 mm dual ball-bearing PWM fan spins between 1200 and 5000 RPM to match thermal load.
Vertical 60 mm Fan Layout
The fan mounts vertically above the heatsink, drawing air down through the fins and exhausting it toward the motherboard. This orientation keeps the overall height at 66 mm, leaving clearance for slim cases or tight component spacing. Spring-screw brackets with a backplate secure the unit without needing access to the rear of the board.
Spring-Screw Mounting Kit
The bundled spring-screw bracket and backplane apply even pressure across the heat-pipes, improving contact consistency on the supported LGA 115x platforms. Dual ball bearings in the fan motor extend service life compared with sleeve alternatives. No additional brackets or adapters are included for other socket families.

Questions about this item
How much clearance above the motherboard does the 66 mm cooler height leave for RAM or VRM heatsinks?
The cooler stands 66 mm tall, so any component taller than that will interfere; measure your tallest module before installing.
What noise level should I expect from the 60 mm dual ball bearing PWM fan when it runs at 5000 RPM under sustained load?
At maximum speed the fan reaches 42.5 dBA, which is audible in a quiet room but typical for a compact 60 mm cooler.
Which Intel sockets does the included spring-screw bracket with backplane support out of the box?
The mounting kit covers LGA 1150, 1151, 1155 and 1156; no additional hardware is needed for those platforms.
