“Thermalright is touting its new Archon CPU cooler. With its full nickel plating and included ultra-low noise 140mm fan, will it lord over the others in its field? At 155mm wide, you will want to make sure you have room for an Archon in your case though.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

You’ll have to make extra room in your case for the Archon cooler
If you thought the Archon was big in StarCraft II you should see the size of the new Thermalright Archon
heatsink. To start with, the fan it sports is 140mm, the cooler its self is 155mm x 53mm x 170mm
so do not expect this 806g cooler to fit every motherboard or case available. [H]ard|OCP fit it in a NZXT Tempest EVO case on a GIGABYTE X58-Extreme, so you can use that as a template. The cooling ability was very good as it beat out all but one cooler, the problem lies in the price, currently is predicted to hit the market at a price of $83 making it more expensive than the competition as well.
