The A50 is a CPU cooler aimed at the mainstream market, meaning it is focused on delivering bang-for-the-buck. It's easy on the wallet, and even easier to install on your motherboard, so now we find out if it's as hassle-free to review.

The A50 that we are going to be looking at in this review uses a tower style design with three tick copper heatpipes connected to an aluminum finned array. It does come with a relatively smaller cooling area than the A70 and only one fan, so the A50 is more a replacement for a stock cooler than an all out overclocking machine. Still, the cooler uses a tried and true design to offer the best cooling possible for those on a budget.
