Introduction

ASUS is mainly known for their motherboards, but in the past couple of years they have expanded their product lines to include many other PC peripherals. This expansion has made ASUS one of the world’s largest manufacturers of PC components. ASUS has now started to design and manufacture high performance CPU coolers too.

Today we will be looking at the ASUS Silent Knight II, a revised version of the original Silent Knight. The cooler features an all copper design for the main components yet weighs only 610 grams.

ASUS claims the Silent Knight II performs very well and is designed to dissipate heat loads that are associated with today’s high performance quad-core processors. Today we will be testing the cooler in our Thermal Environment Control Chamber to see how it performs against other coolers in the same price range.
