Deepcool AS500 air cooler review





Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool: the AS500 (a bit too much similarity to the name of a recent Corsair air cooler – the A500, right?). It’s not the first Deepcool product that we reviewed here on guru3d. For example, over a year ago we had the opportunity to check out their flagship Assassin III model. This time around it’s a single-tower CPU cooler based on the five heat pipe design and a TF140S PWM fan, all packed into a slim form factor.

There are coolers like mine, the "legendary" EVO 212 Plus ( PWN and silent, too ) which I got for 24€ and has been used at least on my last 3 M/Bs & CPUs and then the prices go excessively higher, like ~70-90€ for just ~4-5C lower... Don't you find it at least a bit strange? It's as if there's no middle ground. Well, of course there are few exceptions, but I'm making a point.
Edit: And currently with Chinese products being involved in our lives for good, I saw one exactly like mine for 19€. If something happen to my Cooler, I'll go for the 19€ one. Same number of heat-pipes and smooth at the contacting base. I'm talking about my 9700K non-overclocked and never felt I needed something better. The Chinese knockoffs are being improved substantially over time while the prices remain competitive.
