DeepCool AS500 Plus, weiß

We're quite impressed by the DeepCool AS500 Plus. The tower cooler's clean processing quality, robust mounting method, and excellent performance speak for themselves. The cooler's dimensions are 142x102x164mm (LxWxH). The heat sink's dimensions are merely 140x49x159mm (LxWxH). The cooler's net weight is 1198 grams. The cooler is designed to work with Intel LGA1200/115x/20xx and AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3+AM2+/AM2/FM2+/FM2/FM1 sockets. Although DeepCool lists this cooler as compatible with the Intel LGA 1700 socket, it is not out of the box and requires the appropriate mounting hardware. The cooler is equipped with 5x copper heat pipes, each measuring 6mm in thickness. The entire assembly has a white color finish. We have a nickel-plated copper base plate that measures approximately 41x42mm and is large enough to cover any chip on the supported sockets. Deepcool has supplied two white TF-140S fans with dimensions of 140x140x25mm. Metal fan clips are used to secure the fans. This fan has a maximum rated speed of 1200 RPM, a maximum airflow rating of 70.81 CFM, and a maximum air pressure rating of 1.16 mmAq. These fans have an overall sound level rating of up to 31.5 dBA and use Fluid Dynamic Bearings. The AS500 Plus White has a height of 164mm, making it compatible with the most, if not all, mid-tower chassis on the market. Yeah, nice performance, fair price and the two provided PWM fans provide an excellent balance of performance and accoustics combined with very subtle configurable illumination, and hey, even included is a small RGB controller. Definitely recommended.

The DeepCool AS500 Plus, much like its sibling, delivers solid performance without being excessively loud. In fact, it is only truly noticeable when the fans are set to a PWM of 75% or higher. At anything below 75%, you have a cooler that is essentially whisper-quiet. When looking at performance on Intel, the AS500 Plus compares favorably to the Noctua NH-D15S and be quiet!'s Dark Rock Pro 4. That is rather impressive considering both of those coolers are dual-tower designs. On the AMD front, the AS500 Plus again delivers impressive performance. While not quite at the same level as on Intel, the cooler still competes with those dual-tower designs, but price to performance sees a slight drop.
