DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm Single Tower CPU Air Cooler (Black)

DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm fan comes with a speed range of 500 to 1200 RPM which makes it perfect to balance the quiet nature of low speed as well as the powerful cooling of high speed operations. The fan reacts dynamically to the temperature of the CPU and boosts itself to meet the performance requirement. This range allows the user to cool in the cooler settings that will vary according to low-level to high-end gaming, from the simplest to the most complex of tasks.

DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm may hold a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to 220W. It's hot enough to cope with the heat-driving CPUs, which typically range from 220 watts. Performance does vary in the real world, however, usually allowing for some level of achievement depending on the ambient temperature and the airflow in the case.

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm has a size radiator at about 142 × 102 × 164 mm. This essentially amounts to the volume of the heat sink of the cooler after the fan is stripped out of it. It has plenty of aluminium fins in its radiator; all the heat produced is effectively transferred to the heat pipes, which then help remove the heat produced from the CPU.

DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm is a great performer in air cooling, specifically with the balance when it comes to its cooling capacity and performance so are the noise levels. It is meant to accommodate many different sizes and brands of CPU with moderate TDP to high TDP ratings. Multiple reviews and user opinions point out the efficiency of this component with respect to the dissipation of heat and its noise levels. It's also their slim single-tower design in relation to the many motherboards and ram designs which helps in its compatibility.   

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm falls under the category of single tower CPU air cooler. In simple terms, the absence of a dual tower means the air cooler has one array of aluminium fins with the heat pipes running within them only and not two separate fin stacks. This aspect also makes the cooler appear to be thinner than it is hence fits most pc cases with much ease.   

Yes, the thermal compound is also included in DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm packaging almost all the time. This is a stock thermal compound that is applied in order to make good contact between the central processing unit and the base of the company’s heat sink. The thermal compound is pretty good at conducting heat from the metal surfaces between which it is applied thus allowing for the effective dispensation of all heat other than that in the surrounding and the device.

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm is aimed for silent performance. It is built to be a kind of fan that decreases most noise production but at the same time, it is able to pull air quickly, thus creating a very good combination of features. The noise is typically low, especially at lower RPMs. And even under heavier loads, it usually remains considerably quieter compared to some other high-performance coolers.   

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm is measured about 127 x 102 x 164 mm in dimensions. This measurement includes the two (fan and heatsink). These numbers are crucial to see if the component is compatible with your computer cabinet or any other hardware. The height of 164 mm is one of the main things that you will have to see to clear the chassis. 

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm was rated by the manufacturers up to 220W for thermal design power. This would mean that it is for the effective cooling of CPUs with a power design of 220 watts or lower. The rating roughly tells you how well this one is capable of cooling, thus helping users choose better coolers that can match their specific CPU.   

The DEEPCOOL AS500 140mm runs on PWM. The reason is that the control of the speed of the fans is precisely dynamic and depends typically on CPU temperature. The PWM control function is designed for the fan to operate at the highest speed to allow cooling with hardly a sound.
