DEEPCOOL AK620-1850RPM- 4pin PWM CPU Cooler Fan Support LGA2066/2011-v3/2011/1700/1200/1151/1150/1155 I AMD AM4 – R-AK620-BKNNMT-G

I am reviewing this since I am satisfied with Deepcool AK620 CPU air cooler. I recently upgraded my system to a Intel i7 12700F CPU from i5 9400F and also RTX 3060 graphic card from GTX 1050ti though I am a occasional gamer bought at my home town Computer gaming store. I also have simple VA panel full HD 1080p monitor. They installed with the default Intel stock cooler provided. At idle CPU temps reaches around 45 degrees and even some times 50 degrees.

As I told I am occasional gamer and love to play games at my extra free time to reduce brain stress and for recreation. While playing the CPU intensive games like GTA5, Farcry, cyberpunk etc… pushing a load of 55 to 70 watts, the CPU reaches a ridiculous throttling temperatures of 90 to 95 degrees and even hitting 100 degrees. I am really worried about it, don’t know what is going on and complained to the computer store from where I bought. They told your cabinet is the issue since you are using non-gaming old cabinet and suggested me to change it. I am really not satisfied with them as their main motto is only to sell products and get more money as they have to increase their turn over profits.

Then I searched seriously for the best CPU air coolers on the market. Then I came to know about Deepcool AK620 CPU aircooler after seeing their reviews. Deepcool cpu air coolers also provides the variety in colours like ZERO dark and full white providing the customers the choice they like. I choosed ZERO dark since my cabinet is black, if your cabinet is white you can go with white (or) no colour one. But from my opinion go with any colour which is available(look for the code which is important, example I bought AK620 which is one of the codes for deepcool cpu aircoolers which provides heat dissipation of upto 260 watts and also other codes like AG620 providing similiar heat dissipation as they mentioned but lacking top covers for their heat sinks) which our main motto will be to solve our purpose & problem. Then I installed at my old cabinet seeing you tube guide as I showned at my photo.

At idle the temp goes around 30 to 35 degrees. Now coming to the main climax, at load (while playing CPU intensive games) pushing CPU to 70 to 75 watts loads, temps barely hitting 65 to 73 degrees comparing to the throttling temps of 95 to 100 degrees of a Intel stock cooler. But though I didn’t try seeing temps at giving a CPU load of 100 watts and above, it may be possible if I upgrade to rtx 3080 or 3090 or best AMD graphic cards on the market for 4K gaming.

But any way I am satisfied with my current situation and at my overall experience, the Intel CPU stock cooler is of no use when you want to give some more work to your CPU. Then I also found out that my old cabinet is not the issue, the main problem is the CPU cooler, but any way I want to change my cabinet also in future. Last but not the least, thank you to Amazon for delivering the package with safely and neatly and within two days, also to the seller who provided such a quality product and finally to the Deepcool AK620 which solved my problem! Thank GOD

I’m not going to get in depth about why this cooler is good and how it performs, I’ll leave that to someone like Gamer’s Nexus. It was a good price when I bought it and has enough cooling capacity to keep my 5800x cool while keeping reasonably quiet. It also looks pretty sleek when looking though my case’s glass side panel, so that’s a plus.

I will have to point out the biggest single negative about this cooler is the stock fans it comes with. It doesn’t have anything to do with the fan’s performance or even fan noise during operation.

IT HAS TO DO WITH the fans have a bad coil whine at exactly 58-59% fan speeds. Like, through the entire operating fan speed range, it only exhibits this symptom when it ramps past 58-59% fan speed. BOTH FANS. It gets pretty annoying since my 5800x likes to change temperatures very frequently, thanks to the PBO and XFR. Which kind of sucks, since the fans on a whole are pretty quiet, even at 100% fan speed. There are actually multiple Reddit posts and Youtube videos covering the same topic.

Thank god they are quiet since I’m so lazy to bother to change them out with something else, I just set the minimum fan speeds to be 60%. Even at the minimum 60%, my case fans are the loudest noise in my PC. I would still recommend this cooler, but be aware of this specific problem so I doesn’t drive you nuts like it did to me when I was trying to diagnose the noise.

I don’t have time to do a return and wait another week for a replacement that hopefully isn’t used. I had all the parts and time to assemble my PC, and this was the last part I was needing. There was no damage and made a clean connection so I am using it anyways. I also didn’t know it came with thermal paste and thankfully bought my own new thermal paste because the used one looked old. It works and does as intended, just unfortunate I was mislead into thinking I was getting a new one.

Update: The people at DeepCool did reach out through Amazon and were super apologetic and tried to go above and beyond to make things right. For transparency the only thing ‘wrong’ with the used cooler was thermal paste in weird spots on the heatsink and mounting plates. I cleaned up the heatsink and saw no damage on any part. It’s been on my CPU for a couple days now and temps for my Intel i-7 12700k are within spec and the cooler works.
I see a lot of negative complaints about difficulty mounting and I’ve always built my PC’s and been in IT for years, mounting on my ASUS Prime z790-p was simple and easy. Always check your board and products if they are compatible with each other.
Given the importance of a CPU cooler, and the fact that what I received works, I won’t be accepting a brand new replacement or the upgraded one they offered because I don’t want to spend the time redoing something that isn’t going to change any of the outcome.
I believe the issue was entirely on the Amazon Warehouse end and you should buy local if you can or direct from the seller. DeepCool has won back my trust with how their rep handled the situation in trying to make things right, and that is enough for me to change my review.

there was no packaging by seller and the product was unsealed. Worst packaging ever and why the seller is giving unsealed products?

With the disappointment of the RTX 4060 series I decided to keep my AM4 platform for another 2 years until the RTX 5XXX series comes out. I had a Ryzen 2700X with 32G of RAM and a RTX 3060 12g GPU. To get some more life without a total rebuild while keeping the cost low, I upgraded the CPU to a Ryzen 5600X.

Using the AMD Wraith Prism that came with the Ryzen 2700X, the temps were okay at the low end but during gaming it was getting a little too warm for my liking. I decided to get the Deep Cool AK620 and give it as try. It was inexpensive and I figured at worst, it would do at least as good as the Prism.

The instructions were excellent and the install was so much easier than the clamp style mounting system the Prim used. I won’t miss that at all. Everything needed was there including the screw driver. I also used the Thermal Paste than came with the cooler. This cooler did a little better on the low end than the Wraith Prism but at the high end it was night and day. I ran a Stress Test and it never got over 68c. While gaming, I’ve yet to reach 64c. Compare that to the 81C I was getting with the Prism and I saw some major cooling going on.

Between the simple install, the included paste, the excellent cooling, the price and the way it fits perfectly without me having to move the RAM around, I couldn’t be happier. I would recommend this cooler to anyone who needs some serious cooling and lets be honest here … it looks really nice in my case. If you’re on the edge, go for it!

I was putting together a new rig for my business. Since I do photo/video/audio restoration/editing/conversion I needed some serious power. I researched multiple avenues of cooling for the robust, powerful Core i7-13700K CPU I decided to use. Multiple liquid-cooling options came recommended, but I have never been keen on having liquids of any kind near my computers, much less INSIDE them. So water cooling was quickly scratched off the list. I’m not overclocking my CPU, so no need for enhanced cooling rigs. Air-cooling should suffice, right? I mean Intel has their own recommended air cooler for this chip, why not use theirs?

Well, I wanted something that would go beyond the factory benchmark. Something that would run a circle or two around the factory default cooling method. After some time, I came across this brick of an air cooler.

When I took it out of the box I was first impressed by the clean appearance and design of the unit. Is it big? Good lord, yes. This thing is YUGE. But if it’s to run a circle or two around the factory standard, it should be large and in charge. And this big guy is exactly that.

After spending some time getting it installed (not the easiest feat, but not terribly difficult), I monitored temperatures in windows (average amounts of increase/decrease, not specific numbers). So this air cooler is quite large, and moves A LOT OF AIR. I have an extra large full ATX case with three 200mm case fans (if you’re not familiar with these monsters, they’re – you guessed it – YUGE…). Each of them runs between roughly 200RPM and 450RPM depending on load – and remain pretty quiet even under the most demanding conditions.

The DeepCool AK620 air cooler begins at around 1000 RPM at 0% CPU load, with its dual 120mm fans blowing air gently through each of its two radiators. Under load it can reach up to roughly 1900RPM, which does produce some noticeable noise and hum. This is typical of any air-cooling setup, as lots of air is needed to dissipate the generous amounts of heat emitted from these powerhouse computing components (including the three fans on the monstrous RTX4080 GPU!). So noise levels can get up there depending on load. But if you’re not too concerned with a bit of fan noise, then this is an excellent choice as a modern CPU air cooler.

This thing is large, so it will require significant depth inside the case. It sits HIGH on top of the CPU. Again, to cool today’s demanding CPUs, abundant air movement is necessary to keep heat at a minimum. This cooler has done just that over and over, day in and day out, over the last few weeks. Temperatures on the CPU, even under load, have been well within normal values.

Overall, I’m pleased with the results I’m getting. Especially since I never have to worry about liquid inside this expensive computer.
