Though we've yet to spot any Core i7 CPUs or LGA1366 motherboards on store shelves, the clock is ticking down to the release of Intel's new architecture. With that countdown clock come any number of different accessories aimed at the new CPU line. Of course global giant Asus has something to contribute to the product lineup with the company's latest processor cooler, the Triton 81.
This beauty is straight out of the Triton design philosophy and shares a lot of design elements with it's brethren. There are a pair of 90mm fans (PWM controlled blue LED models which typically operate at 18dBA) mounted on opposite sides of the fin assembly. The fins are made of aluminum and enclose four copper heat pipes which run up from the copper base. The unit measures 4.7 X 4.6 X 5.7-inches and weighs 1.5 pounds.
Not interested in the LGA1366 mainboards and the Core i7 yet? Waiting to perhaps buy after a while but still need a new cooler now? Check out the Triton 81 for plenty of backwards compatibility, including LGA775, Socket 1207, 1207+, AM2, AM2+, 939, and 940. Information on the new Triton should be available on Asus' cooling site soon.
