Corsair's A500 cooler leaves a lot to be desired. The cooler's primary issues stem from its lack of noise efficiency, with equally large issues originating in the coldplate levelness. Between the two, the Corsair A500 ends up being one of the loudest coolers while maintaining rough equivalence with the likes of the Noctua NH-D15 and Deepcool Assassin III. We're not ready with the dummy cooler results yet, but will be adding them to reviews over time.
