DeepCool AK620

Deepcool hat vor einigen Wochen CPU-Kühler-Upgrades auf den Markt gebracht. Dem AK620 wurden als Digital-Pro-Version neue Lüfter und ein Bildschirm spendiert, während der Assassin IV "VC" neben Bildschirm und Lüftern über eine neue spezielle Kühler-Bodenplatte verfügt. PCGH macht den Test.

DeepCool is one of my favourite PC brands, with an incredible range of PC cases, coolers, power supplies and more. However, today we’re obviously focusing on the cooling aspect, and given that Cool is half of their brand name, it’s no surprise that it’s one of the things that they excel at. It features one of their popular digital display that can be found, in one form or another, on many of their other air coolers, AIO and even PC cases. There’s also a pair of their latest fans, helping to cool the compact but feature-rich dual tower air cooler design.

The DeepCool AK620 Digital Pro is an outstanding dual-tower CPU cooler that delivers excellent performance at a competitive price of RM379. It’s a compelling choice for users seeking a high-performance cooler without breaking the bank.

DeepCool continues to show its prowess in the cooling market. Unlike many of the big brands out there, DeepCool designs and manufactures all of its products, while many other brands either design their own products and have someone else make them, or simply rebrand a product from another company; Asetek would be a prime example of this. There’s nothing wrong with the other solutions, of course, the industry is built upon this system. However, DeepCool has control over every step of the product’s life, and it seems to give them an edge when it comes to the designs, performance, and most importantly the price.

It seems I say this on every DeepCool review, but I really appreciate the attention to detail and sleek design language that DeepCool has adopted over the past couple of years. I feel like this is what sets them apart and let’s be honest for the most part air coolers are pretty boring to look at. But DeepCool has turned them into this sleek centerpiece in our system.

If you are searching for a high-performance and high-quality compact CPU cooler, then you can’t go wrong with the DeepCool AK620. The cooler is undoubtedly one of the best options for gamers who don’t like compromises.

In, conclusion the DeepCool AK620 is a solid performing air cooler. As the FPU temperatures did reach 93 degrees that can be expected from an i9 11900K. those are some of the hardest chips to keep from throttling even with liquid. Under normal day-to-day operations this cooler isn’t even going to break a sweat. Low 50’s gaming all day, easy. I want to point out the fan design. These fans hug and seal around the edges of the fins. This allows no air to escape. This help in providing all the air to be directed through the fins. And if you look at the sides they are folded and provide a block, so no air escapes out the sides. This may seem minimal but trust me it can make a difference if you are pushing an extreme load at this unit. I really don’t have a preference on whether or not the CPU block is cooper, or nickel plated. Overall, the design helped in achieving the cooling results.

DeepCool's AK620 is a stellar dual-tower cooler that offers an attractive blend of performance, looks, and ease of installation. In fact, it is one of the easiest coolers to install on AM4. Breaking down the performance numbers, the AK620 looks great on the AMD test bench as it performs quite well, getting closer than I expected to the Noctua NH-D15, NH-D15S, and NH-U12A depending on the situation. On Intel, the AK620 falls back a bit but still delivers good performance all the same. It shows that DeepCool has adapted to AMD's rise in popularity. Their AK620 is well-suited for handling Ryzen processors in both noise-normalized or maximum performance situations when tested out of the box. Only Scythe's Fuma 2 falls into the same real price to performance category, and if you are on AMD, DeepCool wins hands down if you're not using tall memory.

Be it an air cooler or AIO liquid cooler, DeepCool has been delivering some very interesting and impressive cooling solutions throughout the years. The AK620 is one of the latest CPU coolers DeepCool has to offer and because we have had a very good experience with DeepCool’s CPU coolers in the past, I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of performance the AK620 can deliver.

The AK620 is available currently in both a standard version and the digital (CPU temperature and usage display on top) all-black version which i have here with me today. Both versions have a TDP (thermal design power) of 260W, are based on the U-type (sandwich) dual-tower design and come ready with two 120mm fluid dynamic bearing fans (FK120 PWM/1850RPM/68.99CFM/28dBA) in push and pull configuration. Each tower/heatsink features a total of 50 aluminum fins (matrix layout for increased airflow and heat dissipation) and the six 6mm all-copper heatpipes that pass through both are connected to a nickel plated copper base. Yes, the AK620 Digital might be the largest CPU air cooler around but it's certainly an interesting model so let's see what it offers.

Today we're shining a light on DeepCool's AK620 Digital cooler, a notable entry in the high-end CPU cooler arena. At first blush, the AK620 Digital stands out from the crowd mostly for its integrated LCD screen. Yet aesthetics aside, underneath the snappy screen is a tower cooler that was first and foremost engineered to exceed the cooling needs of the most powerful mainstream CPUs. And it's a big cooler at that: with a weight of 1.5Kg and 162mm tall, this is no lightweight heatsink and fan assembly. All of which helps to set it apart in a competitive marketplace.

The AK620 Digital from DeepCool, the newest addition to their line of dual-tower air coolers, not only delivers impressive performance but also encapsulates the company's commitment to effective cooling solutions by seamlessly blending form and function through its clean, stylish design, complemented by useful features.

Two years ago, Mike reviewed the DeepCool AK620 Air Cooler, it was pretty great, but there’s always room for a little improvement. Now DeepCool is back with a new version, the AK620 Digital, with a new all-black design, improved fans, a new top cover that has a built-in LCD display, and a touch of RGB for good measure. It’s basically the same core cooler design though, but I’m hoping to see some general improvements in performance as a result, not just aesthetic improvements. The features list looks good though, with the new Digital version coming with that real-time temperature and CPU utilisation readout right on the top, not needed, but hey, it’s still pretty cool. The cooler itself features 6 x 6mm heat pipes through a large copper coldplate, with the heat pipes and cooler finished in an all-black design, while the older one was an all-silver finish.

DeepCool have sent us some of their latest heatsinks to test, and one of them is very impressive.
