Press Release
Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom; September 7th 2007ASUS Introduces Silent Knight II CPU Cooler for Quad-Core Processors Voltage Regulation Module Protection reduces VRM temperatures by 10-15 degrees celsius
Everyone needs to keep their CPU temperatures cool. ASUS are pleased to announce the Silent Knight II CPU cooler that uses 100% copper for its fins, base and heat pipes. Utilising the latest PWM technology; the dynamic fan speed control delivers efficient heat dissipation for the most powerful of processors in all situations. The Silent Knight II offers quiet performance and a unique design, including a blue LED for a stylish computing environment.
Fast Heat Dissipation with an All-Copper Cooler featuring 6 Heat Pipes
The Silent Knight II is an all-copper CPU cooling solution that utilises the natural heat conducting properties of copper. With its large heat exchange area, lightweight design and six curved heat pipes, the unit relieves stress on the motherboard and also ensures that the processor temperature is always maintained at levels most suitable for high-performance and reliable computing. The Silent Knight II also incorporates a PWM function, which automatically modulates fan speeds according to CPU temperature and delivers a quiet cooling solution at no more than 25dBA.
AMD and Intel Quad-core CPU Support
The Silent Knight II supports the Intel®'s Core™2 Extreme series, Pentium® D Dual-Core CPU, Pentium® 4 LGA775 processors; as well as the AMD®'s Socket AM2/940/939/754, AthlonTM 64-FX, AthlonTM and SempronTM processors – making it ready for the latest and most powerful computing platforms in the market today.
Voltage Regulation Module Protection
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 10-15°C – allowing for smooth and stable operations.
