DeepCool AK400 CPU Air Cooler 220w TDP 6mm x 4 Nickel Plated Copper Heat Pipes CPU Cooler with PWM 120mm FDB Fan 1850RPM for Intel LGA 1700/1200/1151/1150/1155 AMD AM5/AM4, Black

Product Information

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. But it is important to note that some direct competitors already run quieter than this reduced fan speed level out of the box.

With that said, DeepCool’s 1850 RPM FDB fan was louder than its competitors at full speed, so there was a small performance drop-off when locking the cooler to 40dBA noise output. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. Once you get the mounting bracket in place, you can apply the thermal paste of your choice, or skip to the next step if using the pre-applied paste. The performance improvement in favour of DeepCool’s offering versus some of the SilentiumPC competitors is clearly positive.This time, we are looking at the wallet-friendly AK400, a 120mm-class air cooler that costs less than 35 Euros.

Leave a little wiggle room to then use them to support the bracket while placing the screws and spacers into the top cutouts. 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.

After reattaching the fan, which is easy to do thanks to the easy clip-on, the only thing left to do afterward is to attach the 4-pin PWM header to the CPU fan header on your motherboard.

This time around, it’s also a single tower design cooler, with a four heat pipe tower layout, a unique matrix fin design, and a high-performance FDB fan that should provide excellent heat dissipation and low noise levels. The spacing between fins is about 2mm with all fins being evenly spaced out from the other, and each fin being 0.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. The speed range on the 4-pin PWM control curve is 500-1850 RPM, which is pretty good for a budget cooler. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two!
