Product Information
Full details
The Aerocool Mirage 5 is a high-performance air cooler designed for gaming enthusiasts who prioritize both thermal efficiency and a striking aesthetic. Featuring a unique turbojet-inspired design and an Infinity Mirror RGB display, it is perfect for users looking to showcase their internals while maintaining a 150W TDP cooling capacity. A key caveat is the 60mm fan size, which may run louder at its maximum 3000 RPM compared to larger, slower-spinning alternatives.

FAQs
Is this cooler compatible with my CPU?
The Mirage 5 supports a wide range of sockets including Intel LGA 2066, 2011, 1200, 115X, 775, and AMD AM4, AM3+, AM3, AM2+, AM2, FM2, and FM1.
How do I control the RGB lighting?
You can control the lighting through compatible software like ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, or Gigabyte RGB Fusion by connecting the 3-pin XWD header to your motherboard.
What is the maximum TDP this cooler can handle?
The Aerocool Mirage 5 is rated for a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to 150W.
How loud is the fan during operation?
The noise level ranges from 18 dB at low speeds (1200 RPM) to 30 dB at maximum speeds (3000 RPM).
What kind of bearing does the fan use?
It uses a durable hydraulic bearing, which contributes to an MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 60,000 hours.
Troubleshooting
RGB lighting is not syncing with motherboard software
Ensure the 3-pin XWD connector is plugged into an Addressable RGB header, not a standard 12V RGB header.
Fan is running at full speed constantly
Enter your BIOS settings and ensure the fan control mode for the CPU header is set to 'PWM' instead of 'DC' or 'Full Speed'.
Cooler is making more noise than expected
Check that the fan curve in your BIOS is adjusted for a lower profile if performance allows, and ensure the cooler is mounted securely to the CPU.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Striking infinity mirror lighting effect
- Direct-touch heat pipes for high thermal efficiency

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Mirage 5 is straightforward for most common motherboard sockets, including Intel LGA 1200/2011/2066/115X/775 and AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2/FM2/FM1. When installing, ensure the 4-pin PWM connector is plugged into the motherboard's `CPU_FAN` header to allow for automatic speed adjustments. If you intend to use the RGB features, connect the 3-pin XWD cable to your motherboard's Addressable RGB header. To maintain performance, clean the fins of dust every six months using compressed air to ensure the black coating remains effective at absorbing heat. Avoid using liquid cleaners on the cooling fins.
