About this deal

A gap exists between the front and back of the tower and the adjacent screw such that users will be able to use a screwdriver to access this screw with ease. The purpose of the heatpipes is to efficiently lead the heat away from its source due to the low heat of vaporization, or phase change energy, of alcohol. Here, we can see the configuration of the heatpipes with respect to the base due to its direct contact heatpipe design. This feature is particularly appreciated by gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts who seek both power and peace during intense computing sessions.

With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two! The DeepCool AK400 is a highly compatible CPU cooler featuring a classic four heat pipe tower layout with a unique matrix fin design and a high-performance FDB fan that delivers excellent heat dissipation and extremely low noise level. We simply didn’t see evidence of the AK400 being particularly potent in terms of incidentally cooling the VRM, but that’s the same for its direct competitors too.This is designed to bias heat extraction potential towards the centre of a CPU’s heatspreader, which can possibly make a difference depending on your specific Intel or AMD chip. Arctic’s similarly performing cooler is quieter whilst managing the same thermal performance, but the DeepCool unit manages to outperform the full fan speed SilentiumPC competitors. With that said, we will see how this cooler holds up in the upcoming tests, but first, let me install it in my PC. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.

The 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. The standoffs were easy to install with four screws and some large plastic washers to help hold them in place. Crafted meticulously to offer premium heat dissipation, this cooler elevates your CPU's efficiency by maintaining optimal temperatures under varying workloads. That performance drop-off was minimal, but it does highlight some weaknesses of the included fan – particularly when the Arctic and SilentiumPC competitors have zero-RPM capable PWM fans whereas DeepCool’s is only rated down to 500 RPM. But that seems to be the case for most 120mm-class air coolers as they simply do not performance particularly strongly for directing incidental airflow to the VRM on our motherboard.The intricately designed heat pipes and optimized fin array work harmoniously to efficiently dissipate heat, ensuring your CPU operates within safe temperature limits.

The smooth-running fan motor ensures reduced vibrations and, in conjunction with the bearing, a very long service life. Being light for a tower cooler is important for keeping stress off the motherboard, which the AK400 achieves quite well.While this fan comes mounted on the AK400, you will have to remove it for installation, since the front side of the fan covers one of the mounting screws. 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. This mounting bracket is used for both Intel and AMD processors and must be mounted in the correct orientation per the installation manual.
