DeepCool AK400 Digital CPU Cooler

Cooler was packed securely with lots of bubble wrap. Fast shipping, came 1 day after I checked it out on 12.12 sale plus naka discount din ako bc of vouchers. Everything works well. The RGB looks pretty. I'm on 35-40° when idle and max temp while playing so far (valo, dota 2 and steam games) 40-50° I haven't played for hours yet because I only tested it. The only downside for me was the days when you need to \"Confirm Receipt\". Got it on 13 and I need to confirm receipt before the 16. That's only 3 days which I don't think is enough time for buyers to fully test the cooler like give it at least a week/7 days instead. The cooler itself is 5 stars but mehh with the 'Confirm Receipt\" thing.

I installed this cooler on a Ryzen 5 5600x to replace the stock AMD cooler. The install was easy and didn't require the removal of the MB (The stand offs used are slim enough to grip firmly on the stock backplate pins to hold it in place) I ran Prime 95 for 30 mins with this cooler and the stock cooler. The AK400 was 22.7 °C cooler (Average) over the stock cooler under full CPU load and the average clock speed went from 3,710.2 MHz to 3,974.5 MHz. The stock cooler reached a maximum temp of 80.2 °C and the AK400 reach a max of 58.2 °C. The option to add an additional fan to the cooler is nice but not really required (It does come with additional fan clips) Thermal paste is pre-applied and I can confirm that it coats the CPU lid perfectly and provides full contact ... MoreI installed this cooler on a Ryzen 5 5600x to replace the stock AMD cooler.

The fan noise from the cooler is non existent. It's a great cooler that looks nice and performs well.

Product Quality:Very sturdy, large asf and premium feeling.Best Feature:The included fan is not only large but also very easy to installPerformance:With an r5 2600, temperature does not get too hot, only around 60 degrees and does a good job of maintaining it.Installation was confusing in my end but that was my problem not the sellers. All the included brackets and mounts fit perfectly and made for a simple install despite my initial confusion.

Great value

I tried to make do with the Intel stock CPU cooler but that thing is a pain to fit, and it whines whenever the CPU is under load. I couldn't bear the noise anymore so looked up some reviews of the Deepcool AK400.Easy to fit and comes with it's own thermal paste so I was up and running in no time. I opted for the basic version as my case is the Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent and the black/white versions had a £10 premium.I stress tested it using AIDA64 Extreme edition, 4 CCTV video streams and 4 1080p blu-rays in VLC and the CPU temps on my i3 only peaked at 51 degrees. The fan never went above 1200 RPM so I couldn't hear it above my GPU. Very happy

Upgrade from standard cooler (Ryzen 5600x)

Ever since I enable PBO in my Mag B550 Bios, I've noticed the temps going up to 94 degrees on stock cooler when gaming. I found the DeepcoolAK400 at a discount price on Scan (free next day), saving about 10-15 GBP . I chose this model due to good reviews and good looking digital display with RGB lights (it would suit my rig well). The fan looks and feels amazing for the price, not too big. Plenty of room for RAM, but be careful with the height. It was a tight one (literally 2mm gap between the glass and the digital display ) . Easy to install except for 1 detail (more on that below). I installed the fan with the MB inside the case. thus saving a lot of work and time (I had access to the back of the MB through my case). Very east to mount the main bracket and to ... MoreEver since I enable PBO in my Mag B550 Bios, I've noticed the temps going up to 94 degrees on stock cooler when gaming.

I installed the fan with the MB inside the case. thus saving a lot of work and time (I had access to the back of the MB through my case). Very east to mount the main bracket and to screw the tower on. The only complication was when I realized that there was no information about which way is up for the digital display. Since there were no arrows or hints in the manual, there was 50% chance it would end up upside down ... I had to do some real thinking on how to work this out. I found some videos of youtubers installing this fan, and work out that they all position the fan towards the ram slots , so that must be the way up. I was right. If you remove the fan before realizing this, don't worry. The side where the fan was originally attached is the one with cables are tucked in. I had to work this out too as I removed the fan before first and did not take notice of which side it was on ...
