Corsair A500: High cooling performance and space for RAM through technology trick
The performance data of the Corsair A500 give reason to hope for good air cooling: According to the manufacturer’s specifications, processors with a TDP of up to 250 watts should be cooled with it. Four nickel-plated copper heatpipes contribute to this – diameter of the outer heatpipes is 6 mm, the inner ones 8 mm – which have direct contact with the processor via the base plate. The fins are made of nickel-plated aluminium. The cooling capacity is thus sufficient for CPUs with Intel sockets LGA 115x, 2011(-3) as well as AMD FM1, FM2, AM3 and AM4. For AMD Threadripper on socket TR4 or TRX4, Corsair recommends a...
