About this deal

With some quick measurements and calculations, the total surface area of the heatsink comes out to around 0. We saw a delta temperature reading of 68C at full fan speed, which puts its performance at the same level as Arctic Freezer A35 A-RGB. Based on the specifications, this fan should be able to work well for this cooler, so I personally feel there is no need to swap it out. When it comes to dimensions, the DeepCool AK400 has a height of 155mm, width of 127mm, and 97mm depth, which is about the size of your average air cooler. Its sleek design and advanced technology offer silent operation and enhanced cooling, making it an ideal choice for gamers and PC enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance and reliability.

The base is reasonably flat for what it is worth, but there are ridges for the simple fact this heatsink has direct contact heatpipes. This is a modest drop in the running speed and duty cycle percentage, so we do not expect to lose notable amounts of cooling performance by running at the lower noise output. The overall mount is solid and the small stature of the cooler means that RAM and VRM interference looks to be a non-issue for most sensibly laid out motherboards. The bottom line is that Core 2 is the name of Intel’s latest line of CPUs, based on a new micro-architecture, designed for speed and efficiency.

Crafted meticulously to offer premium heat dissipation, this cooler elevates your CPU's efficiency by maintaining optimal temperatures under varying workloads. While it is not the worst mounting hardware setup I have dealt with, it still leaves much to be desired. All sides of the fins are completely exposed aside from the front and top, which are then covered by the fan and the plastic cover.

quick five-step processThe improved installation method is made easy with a sturdy all-metal mounting bracket and a quick five-step process to safely fasten your cooler on multiple platforms supporting the latest from Intel and AMD. Looking at the tower without the fan attached, we can get a better look at the design of the leading edges of the heatsink fins. Arctic's competitor does not drop any performance here as it is already operating at 40dBA or below. Their focus on the DIY PC market has resulted in the company producing many top-tier cases, power supplies, heatsinks, fans, and all-in-one liquid coolers. With a commitment to excellence, they keep offering new products and revamped designs which fuel their popularity.

Gunning for a no-nonsense design that focuses primarily on performance and cost, DeepCool uses a reasonably good-looking all-black fan but opts not to run any form of RGB lighting. Like many CPU coolers, it is designed with a stack of fins with multiple heatpipes going through the heatsink tower. The cooler, which is also very quiet, has immense cooling reserves for overclocked CPUs with a TDP of 220 W and, despite its size, can also be installed with the mainboard installed. According to DeepCool, there is also set to be a white version of the cooler available in June 2022. With a 50,000-hour rated operational lifespan for the FDB fan, DeepCool looks to be middling for a budget cooler in that number.
