Corsair A500: Large tower cooler with high-pressure fans
The Corsair A500 is a large processor cooler in tower design with a height of 169 mm. Its aluminum fins are traversed by four nickel-plated copper heat pipes, two of which are six and eight millimeters in diameter, respectively. The heat pipes are in direct contact with the processor to enable faster heat dissipation.

Two 120-millimeter fans of the Corsair ML120 type deliver excellent cooling performance with a delivery volume of 127.43 m³ / h at a maximum of 36 dB (A). The fan speed is controlled in a range between 400 and 2400 revolutions per minute using PWM. The high-performance fans generate a maximum static pressure of 4.2 mm H2O.

Height adjustable fans and easy installation
The fans are mounted on rails and height adjustable. This naturally increases the overall height of the cooler. In the standard position, there is space under the fans for RAM modules with a maximum height of 45 millimeters. The Corsair A500 is suitable for the Intel sockets 115X, 2011 (-3) and 2066 as well as for the AMD sockets AM4, AM3 (+) and AM2 (+).

The all-round high-quality overall package is completed by the Holdfast mounting system, which enables quick and easy assembly of the CPU cooler. Corsair applies its XTM50 thermal paste to the contact area and also adds a one-gram syringe for further assembly. The manufacturer's guarantee is five years.
