About this deal

With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two! If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.

noise-locked performance drops by a tiny margin; the delta grows from 68C at 100% fan speed to 69C at the required 90% fan speed.Its innovative design incorporates a myriad of features, ensuring not just cooling but an enhanced overall performance. 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. Line the screws on the cooler up with the threads on the mounting bracket and alternate between the two to secure it. Meanwhile, the heatsink fins and the rest of the base utilizes aluminum for their build, which is lighter than copper. But the slightly more limited fan speed curve, higher full-speed noise output, and poorer warranty versus the likes of SilentiumPC and Arctic competitors dampen our feelings towards the AK400.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . The crystal-clear digital screen displays the temperature and usage of your system’s CPU in real time, and there is also a high temperature warning. multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it’s working hard is no joke. 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.Three years on a cooler of this ilk is fine, but with many competitors offering 5-years or even longer, DeepCool needs to keep pace.

This is nice as the aluminum fins will reduce the weight and thus, reduce stress on the motherboard. Ocuk Limited trading as Overclockers UK is a credit broker, not a lender, and is Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. With that said, we will see how this cooler holds up in the upcoming tests, but first, let me install it in my PC.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. 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. Leave a little wiggle room to then use them to support the bracket while placing the screws and spacers into the top cutouts. The spacers had to forcefully be pushed onto the provided backplate, which did hold the backplate well enough to make attaching the bracket easier than it was on AMD, but depending on manufacturing tolerances, I can't say if that will be true for every cooler. 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.

We’ll take a closer look at three such technologies that fall under the headings of Centrino, Viiv, and vPro, respectively. 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 feature is particularly appreciated by gamers, content creators, and PC enthusiasts who seek both power and peace during intense computing sessions.There is, however, provision for noise reduction, as the fan is mounted to the heatsink with rubber contact dampers. While the user manual clearly indicates the tools to use for certain sockets, I do wish the bags had clearly labeled Intel and AMD tools apart. 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. Considering the multitude of competitors in the market, DeepCool continuously gaining prominence is no fluke. To summarise, we would say that DeepCool’s build quality and ease of installation for the AK400 are positives.
