Minimalist black air cooler

The SAMA A40E is a single-tower CPU cooler with a 120mm PWM fan and four copper heat pipes. It supports AMD AM4, AM5 and Intel LGA 1150 through 1851 sockets. Rated for 240W TDP, it targets builders who want quiet operation without liquid cooling.

Included thermal paste and upgraded brackets

Freezee compound rated at 14.8 W/m·K conductivity ships in the box, removing the need for a separate paste purchase. Revised mounting hardware simplifies installation on current AMD and Intel platforms. The fan uses a hydro bearing and runs at 800 to 2200 RPM with PWM control.

152mm height and vertical fan mounting

At 152mm tall the cooler fits most mid-tower cases, while the vertical fan orientation directs airflow straight through the fin stack. Wave-patterned fins and guide rings reduce turbulence to 29 dBA at full speed. The 4-pin connector allows motherboard speed regulation without extra adapters.

Questions about this item

Will the 120 mm hydro-bearing fan need replacement after long-term use?

The hydro bearing is rated for extended operation; typical service life exceeds several years at the 800-2200 RPM range, and the fan uses a standard 4-pin PWM connector for easy swap if required.

At 240 W TDP what thermal limit appears first during sustained loads?

The cooler is rated for 240 W; prolonged loads at or above that level will hit the heat-pipe and fin-stack capacity before the fan reaches its 2200 RPM ceiling.

How loud and hot does the A40E get when running all day at full speed?

At maximum 2200 RPM the fan produces 29 dBA and moves 78 CFM with 2.7 mmH2O static pressure; the aluminium top cover and copper base dissipate heat without additional hot-spot reports.
