Memory maker Corsair made a bold move when it decided to bring in Asetek’s LCLC (Low Cost Liquid Cooling). It was an easy way into the cooling market, although it was far from the first water cooling kit from Corsair. The two new air coolers A70 and A50 takes things to a new level though, these intend to compete with the high-end air coolers from other companies with the same means and measurements.
Corsair A70 is the bigger of the two, sporting two 120mm fans for some push-pull action. It has four 8mm direct-contact heatpipes embedded into a aluminum base. Corsair A50 on the other hand ships with just one 120mm fan and three 8mm heatpipes. The fans are rubber-mounted to reduce vibrations and noise.
“The Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 brought a new level of performance, design, expertise, and ease of installation to the CPU cooling market. Our all-new Air Series was designed with the same goals in mind.” said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing for Corsair. “The Air Series A50 and A70 expand our CPU cooling line with class-leading performance that satisfies not only extreme performance enthusiasts, but anyone who understands that improved CPU cooling provides additional performance and stability, as well as enhanced protection from the damage heat can cause to their CPU.”
Both coolers support all of the latest AMD and Intel sockets and are covered by two year warranty. No prices were mentioned in the press release.
