  • Easy installation, Great performance, Sleek design, Fan attachment and sliding mechanism, Pre-applied TIM, Extra TIM included
  • Other similarly-priced coolers perform better, Quite large and will cover your memory
  • As we come to the end of this review I am pulled in two different directions when it comes to the Corsair A500. For one Corsair has done a lot right with this cooler. The biggest thing for me is ease of installation. Installing air coolers can be a pain...

  • Aesthetically pleasing, Fan mount is well designed, Solid mounting hardware, Easy to install, Included screwdriver is pretty nice, Lack of ARGB will appeal to some, Five-year warranty
  • Performance is not up to par, Socket clearance issues, Exceptionally loud, Memory clearance is lacking, Blocked first motherboard expansion slot, No ARGB support will likely be a dealbreaker for others
  • The Corsair A500 retails for $99.99. Aesthetically pleasing Fan mount is well designed Solid mounting hardware Easy to install Included screwdriver is pretty nice Lack of ARGB will appeal to some Five-year warranty Performance is not up to par Socket cle...

  • CORSAIR's A500 Dual Fan cooler offers the easiest installation process I've ever had with a large air cooler – and easily the best fan mounting system I've ever seen – thanks to some solid design choices. Speaking only of raw performance it offered litera...

  • The Corsair A500 promises advanced cooling performance with four direct-contact copper heat pipes and two ML120 fans in a mega-sized package. Is this easiest, most efficient, and effective way to cool your overclocked CPU? Well, the results according to o...

  • Corsair's latest attempt to dominate or at least penetrate the CPU air cooler segment may not be a full 100% success. The Corsair A500 has its strengths and there are areas that definitely needs improvement as well.Let's talk about the cons first or thing...
