Optimised CPU cooler outperforms Intel
original
The design of the Aturbo CPU cooler is based on a well-proven air-cooling scheme with an improved base and fin blades.
Complementing its Waturbo liquid-based cooling system, Sunon has developed a novel air-based CPU cooler, the Aturbo The design of the Aturbo CPU cooler is based on a well-proven air-cooling scheme with an improved base and fin blades

Fans and blowers have the smallest of claims
Micro-miniature fans and blowers overcome strict space limitations to provide forced cross airflow in a micro-sized chassis.
The device uses Sunon's patented powerful 90mm MagLev motor fan, and surpasses the original Intel CPU cooler with improved heat dissipation and lower acoustic noise.
When a system is running at top speed, a CPU installed with the original cooler will reach a temperature of 70C.
The same system with the Aturbo cooler will only reach a temperature of 62C - an 8-degree reduction in CPU temperature.
In terms of noise measurement, the Aturbo maintains Sunon's tradition of low noise and produces only 40dBA at full speed, which is 6dBA lower than the original cooler.
For users who require low acoustic noise, this provides an improved working environment.
Most air-based coolers use copper bases to increase heat dissipation efficiency.
Aturbo not only further increases the copper base by 34C, but also uses high-density fin blades to speed up the rate of heat dissipation.
The large surface area allows heat to be directed more quickly from the CPU to the fin blades, where airflow from the fan carries the heat away.
Aturbo is specifically designed with Sunon's patented 90mm MagLev motor fan and VAPO bearing.
It is guaranteed to run for 30,000 hours at 70C and produces only 24dBA noise at its low speed.
The MagLev motor fan comes with PWM control that provides two speeds at 2000 and 3500rev/min.
Users may configure the fan speed according to system temperature and maintain a balance between heat dissipation efficiency and noise level. Request a free brochure from Sunon ...
