ASUS Unveils Royal Knight CPU Cooler

Following popularity of the all copper-made Silent Knight II CPU cooler, ASUS unleashed the second variant in its all copper-made CPU cooler range –- the ASUS Royal Knight. Keeping in line with its predecessor's effective cooling methods, the Royal Knight retains an all-copper buildup and utilizes 6 heat pipes. Cooler's outlook is drawn from the British Chevalier style; inclusive of a motif comprised of a crown, an eagle and a coat of arms to portray the overall spirit of the Knight Series.

Aside from 6 heat pipes, the cooler has a 120mm LED fan (22 dBA noise) with a top-flow design and PWM function; and last but not the least, twin wing-shaped copper fins that expand the heat exchange area for improved thermal performance.
