It’ s a pretty well known fact that when it comes to processors you want them kept as cool as possible. But with the increase in computing power, the power consumption and therefore the dissipated heat are becoming a real challenge for cooler manufacturers.

Last week Asus has presented one of its solutions to this problem with the Arctic Square cooler. Designed to remove the heat out of even the newest quad core processors (4 cores on the same die), the new model has the base and fins made out of copper (better, but pricier than aluminum). The heat transfer from the warm bottom to the cooler top is boosted with a 4 heat pipes system. For effective air flow control Asus used a 90 mm blue led fan which makes both the processor and the looks cool.
