DeepCool AK620 Zero Dark

Der AK620 ist DeepCools neuer Dual-Tower-Kühler mit doppelter Lüfterbestückung. Schon dieser Aufbau verspricht eine hohe Kühlleistung - doch wie performant ist der AK620 wirklich und wie steht es um Lautstärke und Kompatibilität?

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.
