Review on Corsair A500 CPU Cooler with High Performance Dual Fans by Chris Cooper

Revainrating 4 out of 5

When will I learn to ignore the image here on Revain?

I always exaggerate with cooling is a problem I work on and at the same time I found this along with a new Ryzen7 processor which looked way better than the heatsink I had was a bit a bit too high, and in the picture it looked much smaller than my large radiator. The fan blows air over the CPU - there is enough space between the mainboard and the fan, but the old/existing heatsink was only 1-2cm longer than for the fan. It looked much more "square" and therefore shorter - unfortunately I was wrong with the long shot! It is actually 2-3 cm higher - given the large radiator foot. The fans are gigantic so I can't wait to use them to fix my cooling. It just has to be a pretty gigantic suitcase. In fact, I think a water cooling system takes up less space than this thing! But we'll have to wait until the budget allows for a new gigantic body.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • drives me insane
