![]() | ![]() The Asus Triton 79 is one of our victims of today, we tested it on our overclocked Prescott to see how it handles. This cooler is rather compact and uses a custom size fan rated at ~1200rpm. It comes with gold colored accessories and mounting brackets, very high end and packaging is sublime! Four heat pipes, push-pin installation and Blue-LED fan make this a pretty good heatsink; Here's how it compares to similar sized heatsinks... you can pretty much ignore the fan @ low (5v) result as the build-in fan is spinning too slow to effectively cool the CPU. A very commendable performance/noise ratio with the fan at full speed, while it comes after the Hyper TX from Coolermaster, it's also noticeably quieter, yet performance wise only trails by 1-2°C. Impressive outcome overall. More details in our full CPU Cooler roundup coming to the site soon.

![]() | ![]() all S775 push pins are pretty much alike, using the same Intel provided specs; if you want you can use the Thermalright S775 backplate and mounting screws to provide extra pressure, easy and affordable mod which will give win you a few degrees if you're into overclocking. Agreed that performance at low fan speed is laughable, has everything to do with the fan speed at 5v (only 339rpm) so at 7-9v you'll get a better price/performance ratio. Definitely need to hook it up to a fan controller if you want a silent PC (or use speedfan software to control through motherboard's 4-pin... or use Bios PWM auto fan speed mode)
