Review on Corsair A500 CPU Cooler with High Performance Dual Fans by Black Croom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Garbage .! see where else!

Over 30 years of system construction. I didn't have to remove the element 4-6 times for it to work. Going to the loading screen (after the 5th boot) was a coincidence, I walked away from the system to turn on more lights. It booted into Windows. Then my motherboard ran with default settings (numbness) so I rebooted. Getting into the bios is where the real fun started. One of the fans on this cooler decided to shut down, first one, then the other. Then both. Finally, I put the "default cooler" back into the system by typing in that cooler IMMEDIATELY after putting it back into the system, which leads me to believe that with the piece of junk I needed to get out, the same cooling as me get my system. After wasting 3 hours of my life I did my best to make it work. I'll try it on my am3 system, if it works I'll keep it for myself, for $50 not worth returning, I'll update after I put it there. (both are the same full towers and power supplies) **UPDATE** upgraded to 2 stars, found this thing so heavy it deforms the MB, reason to find no boot screen or no screen at all pushes the graphics card out of the Slot. I put it in another MOBO, it booted with no problems, tk. The graphics card is in a more secure location on the MB.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Sad package
