DeepCool AK620 Zero Dark CPU Air Cooler Mighty 260w TDP All-Black 6 Copper Heat Pipes Dual-Tower CPU Cooler with FK120 Fans Each 120mm PWM 1850RPM 68.99CFM for Intel LGA 1700/1200/1151 AMD AM5/AM4

I’m upgrading my desktop from the AM4 to the AM5 platform. I decided to take my AM4 hardware and drop it into another build. That being the case I decided to give the AK620 a shot. I’ve heard great things about it. Reviews I’ve seen had equal or better than more expensive and larger Noctua NH-D15. I have the Chromax Black version on old 5800X that I’m replacing.It’s only been a few days but the AK620 has been great thus far. My 7800X3D idles at 38-39°. It’s whisper quiet. I had my side panel open to look for any status lights on the motherboard and I couldn’t hear it running. The smaller physical size made much less of a pain in a butt to install than the D15 was. I already have magnetic tools but if you don’t, Deep Cool includes a solid magnetic Phillips head tool for installation. Installation is standard fare but the included instructions are great if you are inexperienced. They have pictures and individual sections dedicated to Intel and AMD installations. It also includes a handle cable to that you plug both of the CPU fans into and then into the board. I wish I had one for my last build. It would have made things easier.TLDR; I’ll update this if things change, but as of now I’m thoroughly impressed. It’s keeping my 7800X3D cooler than my D15 kept my 5800X. It was easier to install. $40 Cheaper. It’s quiet. Includes an installation tool and clear instructions. The only real negative I can come up with is that it doesn’t include brackets for a 3rd fan, but honestly I can’t see needing a third fan. Just mentioning that in case that maybe important to others.Update: So good I bought a second one. I’m earlier review I mentioned upgrading my system. Well I decided to take my old parts put them in a new case and build another system with them. Long story short, the Noctua was too big. It always prevented me from using one of the PCIE slots but in my full tower, I had enough space to mount my video card in second slot. In the mid tower case I picked up, the video card had virtually no clearance in the second slot. So bought another AK620 and it resolved the issue.I could mount it in the first slot. I can’t say enough how impressed I am with the AK620. More compact, cheaper, and better than my NH-D15. Deep Cool has outdone themselves.

UPDATED: Adding reports of performance and thermals from 3DMark and HWinfo, respectively. Thermals were tested from a cold boot into Windows 11 Pro, most background applications were closed, and the HWinfo Min/Max/Avg were zeroed out once the CPU reached idle after boot. 3DMark CPU Test was then started and executed with all tests performed: MAX THREADS, 16 threads, 8 threads, 4, 2, and 1. Desktop setup is an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X on an ASUS X570-PRO with 128 GB of 3600 MHz RAM running Windows 11 Pro with dual NVMe 1 TB SSDs and two 1 TB SATA SSDs and an EVGA RTX 3080 Ti XC3. CPU clocks are stock (no overclocking enabled). PBO is set to Auto. Resizable BAR is enabled. 2 CPU fans and 5 Corsair 120 mm PWM case fans on Turbo profile with 3 side intake (1 CPU side, 2 front side) and 2 top exhaust. Noctua NT-H2 thermal compound.

After almost three years, I tore down this desktop and replaced the CPU cooler with the DeepCool AK620 WH, removing the old single-tower, single-fan Noctua that was there since the beginning. Booted up straight away after rebuild and I ran 3DMark to benchmark the CPU. The thermals have improved substantially. Before the CPU would reach 91C under load and would be unable to sustain 4.8 GHz consistently on the single-thread test. Now, the CPU runs at a peak of 75C while comfortably coasting at 4.8 GHz in single-thread mode. That’s a 16C or 18% improvement overall, but more importantly single-thread thermal throttling has been eliminated entirely, now with room for overclocking. This cooler is also white, which goes with my build, and is less expensive than the Noctua cooler I had before. The mounting process was incredibly simple and straightforward and it fits in a mid-tower case. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to run air cooling.

Beefy well constructed cooler with push pull fan setup altho it can run just fine with only one fan. Seemed heavy but the mount is super secure and the temps are in the mid 30s at idle and has not exceeded 75 deg C under load, and that was before I upped the case fan count from 2 to 5. That’s 7 120mm fans total in the case. Totally excessive for a i7-2600K, butt now I can do some light overclocking. It’s a massive change from the stock cooler which was really struggling previously. Night and day difference. By itself pretty quiet as well. Highly recommended!!

This cooler packs a punch especially for the price!I definitely recommend this to people that want a good cooler without crippling your card debt.The cooler works efficiently keeping it cool and quiet without pulling too much power and it looks super sleek and clean unlike stock Intel coolers (garbage)My CPU is a Ryzen 9 7950X and even with this beast it doesn’t overheat and just relaxes through a normal gaming session and the best part is there’s little to no sound which still surprises me.You’re given everything for mounting and whole it is a little hard to mount it’s definitely worth it!

El producto es muy bueno. Silencioso, no se escucha al funcionar la verdad. La temperatura de la CPU bajó de 85°c a estar entre 35° hasta 50°C en juegos muy exigentes. Los materiales se ven y se sienten de muy buena calidad. Y negro, diseño muy simple, como me gusta. Instalación muy sencilla en AMD socket. Recomiendo ir por la versión Plus que trae 2 abanicos, nunca está de más tener más ventilación, además de que el abanico se puede retirar e instalar en otra parte del pc.Very quite. Excellent performance. Very good design. Easy installation.
