Corsair Air Series A70 High-Performance CPU Cooler Review

Posted on 2010-10-07 12:12:00 by Thomas De Maesschalck

Corsair has been in just about every market related to PCs, and with a pretty good track record for both reviews from media outlets like ourselves, all the way down to the posts I see every day recommending one of their products based off of their own excellent experiences. We got to see their jump into water cooling with the Hydro series, and we just got to see the smaller counterpart of the Air Series coolers. The A50s entry to the market showed above average performance with a really good price point. Corsair offered up a cooling solution I could see myself telling others to buy.

To grasp what we are about to see, put an image of the A50 in your mind. Then take the cooler and widen the fin body, and slide in another 8mm diameter heat pipe. While you are widening the fins, you keep a similar outer shape, but since we are here, let’s add like 100 dimples to each fin in an attractive pattern. Now that we got the body of the cooler ready to go, let’s think cooling. Since this is a “high-performance” CPU cooler this time, why not throw in two fans on it for a push/pull configuration.
