ASUS Introduces Silent Knight II CPU Cooler for Quad-Core Processors
Catering to users who require a efficient way to keep CPU temperatures cool, ASUS today announced the Silent Knight II CPU cooler that utilizes 100% copper for its fins, base and heat pipes; and dynamic fan speed control to deliver efficient heat dissipation for the latest quad-core processors. The Silent Knight II offers quiet performance and a unique design that includes a blue LED for a peaceful computing environment as well as a stylish system interior. The Silent Knight II is an all-copper CPU cooling solution that utilizes the natural heat conducting properties of copper. With its large heat exchange area, lightweight design to relieve stress on the motherboard, and six curved heat pipes to efficiently transfer heat to the fins, processor temperature is always maintained at levels most suitable for high-performance and reliable computing. Additionally, the Silent Knight II also incorporates a PWM function fan that automatically modulates fan speeds according to the CPU temperature and delivers a quiet cooling at a mere 25dBA. The Silent Knight II supports the Intels Core2 Extreme series, Pentium D Dual-Core CPU, Pentium 4 LGA775 processors; as well as the AMDs Socket AM2/940/939/754, Athlon 64-FX, AthlonTM and SempronTM processors making it ready for the latest and most powerful computing platforms in the market today. The voltage regulation shield inside the cooler directs airflow created by the 9cm LED fan to surrounding VRM (voltage regulation modules) that are critical to processor operations and overall system reliability. This unique design effectively reduces VRM temperature by 10-15C allowing for smooth and stable operations. Source: ASUS

Asus Cools Your Quad Core CPU
The second Silent Knight cooler is here
More powerful central processing units equal more heat dissipated so an efficient cooling system is a crucial part of a stable and performance oriented computer. After the release of its general use Vanquisher processor cooler Asus now officially announced the availability of a cooler specially designed for use with quad core processors, supporting bot AMD and Intel products.The new Asus processor cooler is named Silent Knight II and it is made entirely of copper, a material with much better heat conductive properties that aluminum. Copper fins, base and heat pipes were coupled with an automated fan speed control unit in order to keep even the latest quad core processors running cool while maintaining a low noise level. Because of the variable fan speed the Silent Knight II offers "quiet performance and a unique design that includes a blue LED for a peaceful computing environment as well as a stylish system interior", according to the manufacturing company, Asus.In order to maximize the heat dissipation properties of a cooler most manufacturers are employing big solutions which are quite heavy and stress the securing system of the motherboard but the Silent Knight II is enjoying a lightweight design as it features no less than six heat pipes and an all copper design. The new Asus cooler supports the latest AMD and Intel central processing units based on the quad core architecture as well as older designs regardless of their physical socket. The supported processors from Intel are including the entire Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad and Core 2 Duo series as well as Pentium D Dual Core and Pentium 4 processors which are using the LGA 775 socket. From AMD the Asus Silent Knight II supports all processors based on the following sockets 754, 939, 940 and AM2/ AM2+, so it is a cooling solution ready for the most powerful computing platforms available today.The new Asus cooler comes with a 9cm LED illuminated fan which supports speed control and it comes with a shield which directs the airflow toward the voltage regulation modules from the motherboard which are critical to the performance and stability of the entire computer system. Because of this unique feature the Silent Knight II not only cools the central processing unit, but also cools the nearby components, reducing the VRM (voltage regulation modules) temperature by ten to 15 degrees allowing for smooth and stable operations.
