The Corsair A500 provides excellent raw cooling performance, great looks and a speedy installation method. However, noise levels can become loud when the fans are running at full speed, so it may not prove suitable for everyone.

I think at the end of the day Corsair has a good cooler in the A500, it just has some very good competition out there. I hope we see more air coolers from Corsair in the future.

So, summing it all up, the Corsair A500 deserves the “Recommended” award: for good performance, acceptable price and reasonable noise levels, very easy installation, great quality and features, and a generous, five-year warranty.
