The A1 is part of Thermaltake's "Thermal Maximum Grade" family of CPU coolers. It is designed to support a range of AMD socket CPU's including the older socket 754 and 939 processors as well as the more current AM and AM2+ chips – and to do so affordably.
Thermaltake continues this tradition of innovative designs with a system designed to move over 35CFM of cooling air. The frameless 92mm fan has a unique blade design to reduce backpressure and noise. The Enter Bearing design allows extra lubricating oil capacity to prolong fan life and ensure continued noise levels below 16dBA at its maximum 2500RPM. PWM functionality lets the system monitor the fan and adjust its speed depending on thermal need for even quieter computing.
The anti-vibration design also prevents damage to the CPU caused by prolonged, excessive motion. Heat is drawn away from the processor by the four "U"-shaped heatpipes embedded in the base and is delivered to the high-density aluminum dissipation fins. Thermal Interface Material is pre-applied to the base of the cooler for convenient – and optimal thermal connection to the CPU.

Works well, could be better...
- Pros: For it's size and setup, it cools at temperatures I would expect.
- Cons: Can only be mounted in a vertical position, where the fan either blows down at your video card or up at your PSU.
- Other Thoughts: If your PSU has and exhaust fan mounted on the bottom, the cooler works best when it's set up to blow the air at the PSU exhausting the air.
nice cooler
- Pros: had the cooler for 2 weeks in new build...amd X2 5200+ idles at 27-30C, closest to full load I have gotten is about 75-80% cpu usage while gaming for about an hour, as soon as I close the game and check the temp the cpu is at 39-41C (may actually be a couple degrees higher while playing due to being able to cool slightly while closing game and opening utility to see temp but even with that full load for an hour the cpu would be 45C MAX and probably closer to 42-43C)...not bad at all for pretty much full load for an hour. didn't bother installing stock amd cooler, the only point to that would be to see the diff between this cooler and stock, I dont care enough about the diff to swap, however the cpu (athlon 64 3200+) in my old tower idled at about 33-35C and would get to about 50-55 at full load with the stock amd cooler, so I can see that this cooler does create a good difference when it will keep a dual core 4-8C (at idle) cooler than the stock cooler will keep a single core cpu
- Cons: none really..but would be nice if the fan were led....not a con just a thought...comes with thermal paste on cooler, I removed it to use artic silver DON'T use much if you do this (very thin coat like piece of paper think) I had to pull my system apart and put some mylar behind my mobo to ensure BTX options did not contact mobo(left out of case manual and found out after)anyway I noticed some artic silver around edge of cpu and cooler base so I pulled it thinking I used too much and wanted to clean it up (you dont want thermal paste touching contacts it can short them out as it has silver it will conduct electricity) but I didn't really use too much, this thing clamped down so tight that it squeezed almost all the artic silver out to the edge so the amount between cpu and cooler was probably only like .002" (like 1/2 the thickness of a piece of paper) which in a way is good as the paste helps heat transfer and the less paste the less resistance the heat will have getting to the cooler.
- Other Thoughts: this kind of shocked me cuz in the past i've never had a cooler squeeze this much paste outward leaving that thin of a coat in the center....VERY easy install..none of this switching fan mounts around cpu socket or a kit to modify the existing mount (add to it so the cooler will mount) like some of the coolers out there, 1 clip that is not attached to cooler just slide it in place and hook the tabs then tighten lever...piece 'o cake..well ok the cooler does tend to slide around a bit while getting clip in place so make sure its centered after getting clip in place before tightening

decent
- Pros: VERY quiet, decent bang for the buck. Build quality appears to be good. Ran a Athlon64 X2 2.2 @ around 37*C idle 46*C peak under high load with no case fans. Comes pre-greased.
- Cons: Its a little awkward to install because the thing is so big you cant see both ends of the clip at the same time, once you get both ends clipped on its easy to tighten.
- Other Thoughts: It aims at the PS or the video card, i opted for the PS even though this machine didnt have a bottom PS fan, then i installed an 80MM case fan to the side of it and that helped lower the temp even more.
Cool heatsink/fan
- Pros: Very large heatsink with copper heatpipes running up through the aluminum fins for better heat dissipation. Even after running my computer for 12+ hours, this thing is cool to the touch. My Phenom X3 stays very cool even under load. MSI dual core center says it's running 35-38 degrees, but AMD Overdrive says it's in the low 20's. Either way, that's cool. ;) The thermal paste on this is great quality too.
- Cons: I don't believe the instructions said to remove the fan before installing, but you WILL want to remove the fan. Installing this with the fan on is virtually impossible. To get the fan back on, you can actually push the fins in. I didn't realize that at first.... I wish you could have the fan oriented in a vertical direction.
- Other Thoughts: Very inexpensive cooler that performs very well. With the cost of this cooler being so low, there's no reason to use the stock cooler AMD provides with their CPU's. Price to performance ratio for this is extremely high.
good, but......
- Pros: Fan works, bottom line. Idles at 37 degrees, stock was 42. Under 3d testing, fan never rose above 45 degrees tops. Fan noise noticeable, but not bad.
- Cons: The loose MB clip is a very, very high level of annoyance when installing. Barely larger than fins, on crowded MD (ASUS M2R32-MVP) very hard to align, hold upright, and clip at same time.
- Other Thoughts: Only reason 4 eggs instead of 5 is the very frustrating clip.
