14 DAY TRIAL // Asus has announced the launch of a new piece of hardware, this time an active cooling solution that is aimed at users requiring enhanced performance while keeping the noise level way down. The new Asus central processing unit cooling solution is called Silent Square EVO and it comes as a continuation of the previous Silent Square models while bringing better cooling capabilities into play.
According to the Asus press release concerning the launch of this product, the Silent Square EVO is specially designed and produced in order to be capable of offering the best air cooling experience on quad core based central processing units, an experience that can directly compete with the quality delivered by high end liquid based cooling solution. Unlike the previous PRO solution, the new EVO from Asus is coming equipped with a dynamic fan speed control unit and not with a fan speed control kit that is user controlled.
This new Asus made cooling solution rests on a copper base and comes equipped with five all copper heat pipes that are designed to offer an extremely efficient heat transfer between the processor and cooling fins that are wave shaped in order to offer a higher dissipation area in a smaller volume.
The Asus Silent Square EVO is capable of cooling even the most powerful modern-day processing units like the Intel made Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad range of processors that are using the LGA 775 mainboard socket as well as products made by Advanced Micro Devices from the Athlon 64 FX and Athlon 64 X2 line which are built for the 939, 940 and AM2 motherboard sockets.
The entire cooling solution is quite lightweight as it has only 745 grams so mainboards have no trouble supporting it, while its 92mm by 92mm fan is based on a ball bearing and it runs at around 2300rpm while also directing part of its generated airflow to the mainboard PWM circuits, cooling them off too.
