Thermaltake A4017-01 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

Today’s powerful processors generate excess heat that can damage or destroy a system. Computer manufacturers include cooling solutions in their products to combat this heat, but all coolers are not created equal. Thermaltake’s A4017-01 CPU cooler is a low-cost step-up from the generic cooler that shipped with your CPU. Whether you are a custom builder with your eye on your budget, or a retail customer who wants to protect your investment, the A4017-01 offers a major improvement over a generic heatsink.

A mirror-polished copper base fits flush with the top of the processor chip and provides maximum efficiency in drawing away damaging heat and transferring it to the aluminum heatsink with its array of aluminum cooling fins. The heat is drawn away from this array by the reversed 92mm fan spinning on its long-lasting sleeved bearings at 2200 RPM.

The fan’s shroudless design eliminates noise caused by rebounding off of the shroud or the fins below it, thus generating only 18 dBA of noise – less than that of a human whisper and much less than more expensive fan options. It easily installs without tools onto any of the AMD Athlon 64, 64 FX, Sempron or Opteron processors designed to fit the 754, 939 or 940 socket architecture.
