Corsair A70 High Performance CPU Dual 120mm Fan Air Cooler Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video presents an in-depth unboxing and first look at the Corsair A70 High Performance CPU Air Cooler. The host introduces the Corsair A70 as part of their Air series, highlighting its dual 120 mm fans and four large copper direct contact heat pipes. He discusses compatibility across sockets including LGA775, 1156, 1366, AM2, and AM3, noting that the A70 is aimed at offering an air cooling alternative to hydro cooling options. The packaging is opened to reveal two boxes, with the smaller box containing mounting hardware, adapters, and a backplate for Intel sockets, and the larger unit housing the cooler itself. Throughout the unboxing, the host explains design choices like the shroud that helps channel airflow and minimize dead space, and he compares the A70’s construction to older Corsair coolers, pointing out the dense fins and thick heat pipes that enable strong air performance. He also comments on the look of the cooler, admiring the black aesthetic and copper accents, and envisions how it would appear inside a black interior case, such as the Corsair 800D. In closing, the host acknowledges the cost but argues that the A70’s performance justifies the investment and invites viewers to subscribe for future coverage, including related NCIX and Linus Tech Tips content.
