DeepCool AS500 PLUS, CPU Air Cooler with 5 Heatpipes, 2 x 140mm PWM Fans, ARGB LED, For Intel/AMD, LGA1700/AM5 Compatible

Product Information

The aim here was to keep consistency with the airflow path of the liquid coolers which are always roof mounted. Silverstone does a good job here, though do note that the installation orientation of the massive CPU block could have an influence depending upon your choice of CPU. The chart shows us the frequency the CPU is running at along with the power and temperature reading. Other than that, the install is simple and rotational freedom at the pump-block and tubing interconnection point is very good and we did not notice significant resistance to our hand manipulation. The + and – buttons increase/decrease the speed of the dynamic lighting effects whereas the middle button changed the lighting mode.

That means this cooler will still require a fairly larger case or otherwise, removing the side panel. This noise-normalised test is perhaps a little unfair towards AIO liquid coolers and air CPU coolers with dense fin arrays. Overall, this is not a great installation procedure and the orientation flexibility is limited due to the G. And the Artic Freezer 50 looks to have hit a point whereby the 5950X’s highly concentrated heat load is a little too much for the dual-tower oriented HDT base to deal with effectively.Note the use of delta temperature data in our charts and factor in your own ambient conditions for reference.

But it is the reality of real-world operation whereby higher performing CPU coolers can sometimes show disproportionately better temperature performance at the higher thermal load levels. Featuring honest and in-depth product reviews and a credible analysis on technological innovation, Tech4Gamers covers a wide range of technology trends – from small business to enterprise, social to mobile, gadgets, computing devices and the general World Wide Web.The fan configuration is the three included Fractal Dynamic X2 GP-14 fans spinning at full 1000 RPM speed. The cooler in its single-fan mode is then placed onto the CPU and secured by tightening the two protruding top-side screws. RAM clearance is deceptively good at 48mm, though you will have to install modules before the cooler given its design.
