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.
Superior Heat Dissipation and Cooling PerformanceThe large copper base and 4 copper heatpipes conduct heat fast; high-density aluminum fins maximize heat dissipation surface area, plus a 92mm, 2500RPM cooling fan to deliver optimal cooling performance.
PWM FunctionThe PWM function automatically adjusts fan speeds according to the CPU temperature for efficient cooling and minimized fan noise.
