Default Asus Lion Square CPU Cooler Review

Click the image to open in full size.


Asus is one of the most respected companies by computer enthusiasts. Everyone knows them more as a powerhouse in the motherboard industry but they do dabble in wide range of hardware, including CPU coolers, like the Lion Square that we will be examining today. At first glance it does seem like Asus is trying pack a little bit of flare in a package that can hopefully keep up with top tier air coolers on the market. Asus is apparently trying to present an eye-catching product for enthusiasts that are looking for something beyond the typical bland. If they can do that and still sufficiently chill our CPU then many enthusiasts could be impressed. Let's test this thing out and see if you will be impressed.

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

On a related note to this review, Matt's new point-n-shoot (Canon S5 IS) is working well for him.

Nice review Matt!
I'm surprised the TRUE Black performed that 'bad'. What was the fan it was paired with? o_O

Well that was the True Black-120 with ZEROtherm's fan that was on the Zen (I tried to even the playing field). I was surprised by the results of the True as well, since so many people have been talking it up. And you can look forward to a complete review on the True Black-120 VERY soon.
