Am 14. April hat ASUS einen neuen CPU-Kühler aus der Triton-Reihe vorgestellt. Der Triton 85 setzt sich aus einer Kupfer-Base, Aluminiumfinnen und vier Kupfer-Heatpipes zusammen. Der 120-mm-Lüfter ist mit einer PWM-Funktion ausgestattet und lässt sich so im Lautstärkebereich zwischen 16 und 25 dB(A) regeln. ASUS selbst verspricht im Vergleich zu einem Standardkühler eine um 35 Prozent verbesserte Kühlleistung, die selbst bei einer Abwärme von 180 Watt noch ausreichend sein soll.

Review @ bit-tech.net
Zitat
There’s no sugar coating the fact that the Triton 85 is a turkey. With very poor thermal performance, a tricky (and easy to break) mounting system and a high price, the advantage of silent cooling is completely lost in the swamp of negativity surrounding it's other flaws.

We feel a lot of the blame can be laid at the top down design of the heatsink, which interrupts the airflow through the case and blows hot air straight down onto the motherboard and surrounding components rather than towards the case exhaust where it needs to go.

[...]Once again, we’ve seen the difficulty in striking the balance between cooling ability and noise levels when making a heatsink and even a company the size of Asus is not immune. In the past we've seen noisy coolers which perform well, and in this case, a silent cooler that performs poorly, but the ability to strike the balance between the two is still a feat very few manufacturers are able to accomplish.

With the Triton 85, not only has Asus sacrificed thermal performance for silence while still charging a high end price, the build quality has been lost in the equation too. The resulting product is vastly inferior to its competitors on every level, sadly making the Asus Triton 85 one to avoid.
