The newly unveiled ASUS Triton 81 CPU cooler is the latest addition to the company's Triton family of highly effective thermal solutions. The cooler has been designed for the upcoming Intel Core i7 processors (LGA 1366), but it is also compatible with Quad-Core chips. The ASUS Triton 81 features an exclusive 4-way airflow heatsink design as well as a dual-fan technology, allowing it to efficiently cool powerful CPUs. It also comes with a diamond-blue LED meant to provide aesthetic appeal for DIY and overclocking enthusiasts.

The 4-way airflow heatsink design of Triton 81 provides an unobstructed passage of air circulation. Besides, the 4 U-shaped copper heatpipes offer the most efficient heat dissipation, delivering ultimate cooling performance for processor intensive applications and modifications. An effective channel of airflow to the system is also delivered by the diamond-blue LED with dual 90mm fans, allowing thermal protection for stable operations.

Although offering high performance, the Triton 81 is quite a silent component. It runs at 18 dBA with its built-in PWM function, and it can also adjust fan speed according to the CPU temperature. Since Triton 81 is capable of supporting Intel's Core i7 processor (LGA 1366) and multiple applications, DIY and gaming enthusiasts around the world will have a component which can help pushing the potential of their computers to new limits.

The Axe Square CPU cooler is the latest flagship model ASUS added to its AMAzing series. The product comes with a unique axe-shaped design, decorated with a dazzling gold-aureate color, which may be considered the ultimate in aesthetic appeal. Besides, the Axe Square is shipped in a limited edition luxury packaging. Featuring an automatic PWM function, this cooler can maintain a low acoustic level while delivering enhanced cooling which can support exceptional overclocking performances of up to 180W.

ASUS' Axe Square features a 120mm LED fan, five copper C-shaped heatpipes, a mirror-polished base, as well as a large-scale heat dissipation surface area of up to 5500cm2. All these characteristics allow it to efficiently transfer heat to deliver ultimate cooling performance. The fan speed of the cooler is adjustable according to the temperature of the CPU. It works at only 16 dBA, while still providing CPU stability and energy efficiency.

The new Axe Square CPU cooler features a gold-aureate color which is complemented by the black nickel-plated surfaces of unique axe-shaped design, both creating the ultimate in aesthetic appeal. Besides, the Axe Square is shipped in an extremely luxurious packaging with a limited-run identification card meant to ensure the fine quality of the AMAzing series.
