Asus is one of the most respected companies by computer enthusiasts. Everyone knows them more as a powerhouse in the motherboard industry but they do dabble in wide range of hardware, including CPU coolers, like the Lion Square that we will be examining today. At first glance it does seem like Asus is trying pack a little bit of flare in a package that can hopefully keep up with top tier air coolers on the market. Asus is apparently trying to present an eye-catching product for enthusiasts that are looking for something beyond the typical bland. If they can do that and still sufficiently chill our CPU then many enthusiasts could be impressed. Let's test this thing out and see if you will be impressed.

The lion in pre-modern China is believed to have powerful mythical protective powers. This has traditionally encouraged its use in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, temples, emperors' tombs, government offices and homes of the wealthy. Asus have used the lion legend on a heatsink design that sports four 8mm heat-pipes ready to be installed on any of today's CPU's and grace the inside of any case.

The Asus Lion Square heatsink is a cylindrical tower of nickel plated aluminum fins wrapped around a 92mm PWM fan suspended in the center of it all. From the outside only the erie blue glow of the Sunon Maglev fan is visible, its noise is muffled to moderately audible levels. The edges of all fins are bent down about 10-15 degrees, with a portion of the edge punched out to improve airflow. It's a unique approach for certain.

Today we look at the newest CPU cooler from ASUS, the Lion Square. Named for the Sword Lion legend and designed with quad core CPU?s in mind this seems to be a slick heat sink. The bold and unique design features eight heat pipes that originate from the copper base all the way to the top where they are covered by neat looking nuts. The very top of the cooler has a cover that mimics the shape of a shield. It looks great, but how will it perform? Read on to find out!

ASUS has had many similar designs come and go. The last revision that came to mind was the Artic Square which was actually more round than square. The names don't really coincide with the shapes of these coolers, but then people don't buy them for their names. We buy them for their performance. While this isn't the first cylindrical CPU cooler released by ASUS, it has made a bigger difference in the battle against heat and does its job very well.
