You’ve invested a lot into your Intel or AMD CPU. Now’s the time to protect it and make it run better.
Excessive heat is the deadly enemy of high-performance silicon, and the Air Series A50 CPU cooler can extend the lifetime of your CPU by quietly and efficiently drawing that heat away.
You’ll get faster performance, too. Intel Core™ i5 and Core™ i7 processors can be easily configured to automatically overclock when conditions are right. Lowering your CPU’s operating temperature one of the best ways to do this – your CPU will detect that it’s running cooler, and instantly boost its speed when you need it. Of course, if you’re not using a Core i5 or Core i7 or if you prefer to adjust your overclocking settings manually, the Air Series A50 will give you the temperature headroom you need.
The superior engineering of the Air Series A50 makes it dramatically outperform your CPU’s stock heatsink: three 8mm copper heatpipes directly contact your CPU and instantly pull heat up into the aluminum cooling fins. A 120mm fan, mounted on rubber studs to reduce noise and vibration, quietly draws cool air through the fins.
Spend 15 minutes replacing your CPU’s stock heatsink and enjoy years of better performance.
Features
- Compatible with Intel and AMD systems
- Three 8mm copper direct-contact heatpipes
- Aluminum fins
- Low-noise, low-vibration 120mm fan mounted on rubber studs
- Selectable 1,600 or 2,000RPM fan allows you to select the cooling performance you want
Compatibility
Includes mounting brackets for Intel LGA775, Intel LGA1366, Intel LGA 1156, AMD socket AM2 and AMD socket AM3 motherboards.
The fan/cooling fin structure is elevated 43mm (1.69") from the motherboard. Some motherboards outfitted with six pieces (6GB or 12GB) of Corsair Dominator and Dominator GT memory may not provide enough clearance between the CPU and the closest memory slot. Motherboards with standard height memory do not present a potential compatibility issue.
