Antec Axe Square CPU Cooler Review

Introduction

Last week at Tech-Reviews we reviewed Asus’ Silent Knight II CPU cooler; today we have another Asus CPU cooler for review: the Asus Axe Square. As I’m sure you’re fully aware, the computing industry has evolved massively in the last few years. One form of product which has seriously advanced – to keep up with the newer processors – is the CPU cooler. This product has not just developed in terms of cooling the CPU to lower temperatures, it’s also improved in design and not to mention, noise. Today, we have a seriously ‘class’ cooler for review, the Asus Axe Square… shouting royalty all round and kindly donated by QuietPC.
