ASUS Introduces Arctic Square for Quad-Core Processors with Compact Size

[Dashken]

To provide users with a compact sized CPU cooling solution, ASUS has announced the Arctic Square CPU cooler. This compact cooler incorporates innovative features, including double side fins, dynamic fan speed control and four copper heat pipes in order to deliver efficient heat dissipation for the latest quad-core processors. With a small cooler size, the Arctic Square is widely compatible with many motherboards and chassis. The Arctic Square offers quiet performance and a unique design with a blue LED, providing a peaceful computing environment and a stylish system interior.


Powerful Performance with Compact Size

The Arctic Square incorporates a double side fin design that includes “ladder-shaped” fins located on both sides of the cooler for a larger heat exchange area. Four heat pipes made of copper efficiently transfer heat generated by the CPU to the fins, maintaining processor temperature at levels most suitable for high-performance and stable computing. Designed to have a smaller size, the Arctic Square is compatible to many motherboards and chassis – providing reliable PC operating systems.


AMD and Intel Quad-core CPU Support

The Arctic Square supports Intel®’s Core™ 2 Extreme series, Pentium® D Dual-Core CPU, and Pentium® 4 LGA775 processors; as well as AMD®’s Socket AM2/940/939, AthlonTM 64-FX, AthlonTM and SempronTM processors. Able to support so many different processors, the Arctic Square is ready to cool the latest and most powerful computing platforms in the market.


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) – critical to processor operation and overall system reliability. This unique design effectively reduces VRM temperature by 10-15˚C.


Easy 3-step Installation

The patented retention module is designed specifically to enable easy cooler installation regardless of the processor platform in three simple steps without even removing the motherboard from the system or memory modules from the board.


1. Place retention set on the motherboard
2. Place cooler over the CPU
3. Lock cooler with spring clip
