ASUS Triton 77 CPU Cooler Review

[Capper]

Asustek needs no introduction when it comes to the field of high end hardware; they've been delivering the good stuff before some of us even knew what a CPU was. With a massive market catering to nearly every inch of the enthusiast sprawl, if there's a niche where Asus hasn't proven their mettle, you can bet they're thinking up a product for it as we speak.

The cooling market is perhaps the most outlandish and lucrative of them of all, and crowded, filled to the brim with products hoping to serve us and our near nuclear fusion levels of thermal output from screaming overclocks. Asus' newest coolers (I say "Coolers" for a reason, as you'll see as the week goes on), are setting high hopes for the plethora of users who want both the upper echelon of air cooling without the ear bleeding that accompanies the attached jet engine props.

Nice review but I kind of expected better results from the cooler. Yanno those Sunon MagLev fans are no joke, they are among some of the best fans available. I have a 40mm I use for NB sinks and it is quite....

I can say this because I have used just about every 120mm fan from DElta, Panaflo, Sunon, Adda and Antec. I have yet to use a Yate Loon...

Not a bad cooler considering the price. It's a well optimized cooler I guess, it's a relatively light one at that. I wonder if they could have shortened the heatpipes (and change the mouting mechanism somehow) so that cooler would have took even less space. Could become a great choice for those smaller form-factor builds people are doing.
Nice review too. :)

Its a great cooler if you aren't planning on overclocking. My issue with it is only that the heat pipes are so thin, and long....which I am sure affects cooling performance.

I'd also like to point out that the staff together wrote this article, not me....everyone busted their butt and contributed, all I did were the images, testing, and conclusion.....so it was a group effort.
