The Silent Square has no less than 5 copper heat pipes which are joined in a copper base, the heat is dissipated to a collection of thin aluminum fins which sit at each side of the fan. The S² only uses a 92mm fan, this helps to reduce the overall size of the tower heatsink and prevents possible incompatibility issues.
