- Is the Corsair A500 good enough for overclocking?
- Yes for moderate overclocks. Its two 120mm fans and dense fin stack handle higher heat loads than most single-fan coolers, though it will not match a large 360mm liquid loop.
- Will it fit my case and RAM?
- Check the cooler height against your case's CPU cooler limit and keep low-profile RAM in mind. The wide fin stack can overhang the first memory slot on some boards.
- How loud is it?
- Corsair rates it at 36 dB at full 2400 rpm, which is audible under load. PWM control keeps it quiet at idle and light loads.
- Which sockets does it support?
- It fits Intel LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011, 2011-3 and 2066, plus AMD AM2, AM3 and AM4.
- Does it have RGB lighting?
- No. The A500 is a plain black cooler with no lighting, so pair it with lit fans or case lighting if you want that look.
- What is in the box?
- The cooler, two 120mm PWM fans and mounting hardware for the supported Intel and AMD sockets.
- Where is the Corsair A500 Dual cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $79.99, as of our latest check.
