The AR01 was able to handle our i7 3770k at stock speeds with a maximum temperature of 69° after 15 minutes of Prime95.

Overclocking the i7 3770k resulted in an idle temperature of 40° and Prime 95 causing the temperature to rise to 78°. The Silverstone Argon is capable of handling a reasonable overclock, however pushing it higher would require extra core voltage.
