@ydin9 Год назад

Not in a hurry to replace my trusty UH-12 anytime soon for few degrees, not with my workloads on this setup but I'm really loving the design and performance of the AK620. The white one is pretty damn sexy. I don't really give a hoot about RGB lighting but I think they'd offer this value with one, and offer other colors too. Even as a superficial plating, they would blow the competition out the window. If I was putting up a new build on a budget, with this price tag, this is the pick.

@nonamenameless5495 Год назад

Great review, am really a fan of the way Mike presents things, it s that mix of getting a certain enthusiasm across whilst having a focus on the facts & test results. This review convinced me to give this cooler a try and change my order paying extra for the white colour option, coz yes, getting white tones right isn t trivial. In my market the AK620 commonly goes for 80ish USD but compared to its competitors the price ratios are the same. I like reduced and serene designs with form following function in mind so the white version of this without the (exaggerated and stupid :p) RGB bling bling hits home for me. Thanks a lot for this one!

@chill_aid2868 Год назад

for those who are looking to get this cooler here is a warning. this cooler (more likely the fans) produce whine/hum under certain RPM. For me 1200-1300 (60%) is when the hum becomes the loudest and sometimes around 30% fanspeed although less noticeable. As of now I set my fan curve to avoid those speeds and deepcool will not send you replacement because they claim this is not a manufacturing defect, it's just how it is. I might have to buy some new fans as replacement.

@cristianroth8524 7 месяцев назад

I've just ordered one, so many thanks for the spoiler. However, I've also ordered two Silent Wings Pro 4 fans to replace the stock ones. The whine problem should be solved, considered that be quiet's fans produce a low pitched hush rather than a hum, which blends way better with their environment. I highly suggest you buy these fans, they're among the best money can buy.

@jon-lp5lq 18 дней назад

So you suggest a AIO over regular coolers?

@orangemarmaladesky Год назад

5:51 You can also mount the fans to the back side of the cooling towers. Not only will it allow for basically unlimited ram height it looks baller as hell.

@yourboismilez Год назад

Good point but be careful with vrm heatsinks. Those are getting bigger with each new generation and could run into the same problem

@codyguy2643 Год назад

I did this with my pa120 as raising the front fan still blocks the first 2 ram slots from view for rgb ram. I like the fuma 2 as even with the front fan mounted, it doesn’t block any of the ram slots due to the way the base plate is offset

@WARnTEA Год назад

I’m pretty sure this isn’t recommended. If my memory is correct Noctua and Gamernexus both ran tests like this and found that the 2x pull config resulted in noticeably higher temperatures. Finding that moving the fan up higher above the ram was actually better performance than moving the front fan to the back.

@sunspot42 Год назад

@@WARnTEA Correct. The fans are much less effective in a pull configuration. They should be mounted to blow air over the heatsink.

I've been using the AK620 since a month now and I can confidently say that the performance is far better than my earlier Cooler master Ml240 AIO cooler. I used to get temps between 70 to 75 deg C using the Ml240 and now with AK620, the temps are hardly touching 62deg C. With continuous gaming sessions of 3 to 4 hrs also I'm getting max temps of 62 deg. I know its not fair to compare AIO and air cooler but hey I've been on that train, and switching to AK620 has made a huge difference for me. Kudos to my mate audi_rj for suggesting AK620👌

@Bryan-T Год назад

@Lockke_ Год назад

I dont recall the yotuber's name, but there's one who tested the AK620 vs the Scythe Fuma 2 rev. B and stock the AK620 performed better while when both had their stock fans replaced with the same high end fan the Fuma 2 performed better. Is buying a fuma2 and then paying to upgrade the fans though? Id say probably not but maybe it is to you

@riba2233 Год назад

Awesome, cheap and well performing dual 120 towers are always welcome on the market!

@DrivenKeys Год назад

I'm a big fan of my $42 Peerless Assassin, but I now wish I had spent the extra 8 bux on this. The Thermalright is excellent, but the Deepcool's fans and small logos are worth the extra. Also, the Thermalright has a bit of a whine/ringing tone at some lower rpm. It could be the fins or the fan, but I bet DeepCool's fin pattern and denser fan blades are less irritating.

@poepflater Год назад

They Do look nice and clean in white. I am a long time Noctua user & do like and use ThermalRight since the ultra 120 Extreme Tru Copper (I still use it just because it's awesome & looks cool). I'd like to try the new Peerless RGB White for my recent socket 1200 to cool a i9-10850K OC but it's hard to find tested or confirm measurements for these. I stuck with Noctua NH-D15 (D14 fits) because it was or is tested w/ enthusiast boards we use. I've noticed when Noctua introduces an upgrade it is with an ASUS top model in mind as even their GPU cooling. I guess that's what you pay for. And their trusted & quiet fans. They just last. I have many in service since 2005.

@codyguy2643 Год назад

Thanks for this. Just wondering if using the deepcool fans on the thermalright would result in similar results to rule out of it’s mainly the fans or a combination of the heat sink and fans. Deepcool doesn’t seem to sell those particular fans on its own. I rewatched the pa120 video and with the gentle typhoon, it was at 89 degrees at 260w vs the ak620 being 85 in this video with the same fans so it seems like the ak620 is a better suited heatsink for higher heat loads

Hi hardware canucks, could you take a look at Thermalright Frost Commander 140? I'm genuinely curious how does 5 8mm heatpipes compare to the general flagship 6 6mm heatpipes for air coolers, by math it should cover more surface area so wish you could do a test out of it. It is also relatively inexpensive and has quite decent aesthetics for an air cooler.

@goblinphreak2132 Год назад

With typical pc cases where the motherboard is vertical not flat, i would prefer an air cooler push the airflow up and out the top of the case. Because heat rises. Which is generally why I stick to liquid cooling via AIOs. Currently rocking an cooler master 360mm aio and it keeps my 3950x ridiculously cools.

@righteousone8454 Год назад

I would like to personally thank you, Mike I selected Thermalright PA120 after this review, because of the fact that it had stronger fans, but ended up using Noctua NF-A12x25 instead in black color. I am easily cooling i9-13900k, like I am running Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm AIO, it's incredible. I speculate this configuration with those fans, on A620 as well...will beat out NH-D15 by Noctua. The fin density is nice on Thermalright or Deep Cool, and I am glad there is an alternative to Noctua NH-D15. I feel the spacing on that unit is the cause for the turbulence, and that's a no-go for me. The close placement of fans on A620 and PA120 is what keeps the turbulance next to zero.

@HardwareCanucks Год назад

Good choice!

@ZemzyOseris Год назад

Just bought one of these for my 5800x3D. Under 100% lead it only hits 75c. My old cooler (NZXT Kraken Z53) would hit 90c under nearly any load. Not to mention the fans that come with the ak620 and quite good. Even with open back headphones, and an open case, I can't hear them at 80% or about 1500rpm. I bought 3 more of the exact same fans for my case cause they're so good! Just wish they sold them separately in white, as of right now, they're only in black.

@Exile4L Год назад

Love the content, not trying to take anything away, but does anyone test these coolers with the SAME fans on each of them instead of the stock manufacturer ones? I think that would be a great indicator of the performance of the technology itself in the coolers when you take the fan variable out of it, and it can run alongside the "noise normalized" tests. One love.

You're killin' it in cpu cooler reviews! I much prefer your presentation and benchmarks than gamers nexus. Testing across wide DB ranges and heat load of upto 260W paints a complete picture of the coolers performance, it's strengths and weaknesses. This is how it should be done!

Interesting. Will this fit into ITX Hyte Revolt 3 case?

Hey, can you confirm if the Deepcool AK620 pairs nicely with the AM5 platform? Does it have all the necessary mounting accessories for the AM5 motherboard?

@ailluinthethyra6139 Год назад

It'd be nice to add those AK620 fans to other tests like radiators & other heatsinks. Their model name is FK120 and only costs $9. If they can keep up with NF-A12x25's & Gentle Typhoons(or get 1-2c close in noise normalised tests) they easily beat Arctic P12's for best value fan.

@fonolavalencia Год назад

Yeah, this would make a great video. Ak620 with different fans, even 1 push Fantecks T30 and 1 pull NF12x25, would be great !@

This cooler is a perfect match to the Fractal design Torrent case! (aka the best airflow case)

What do you think of the Lian Li p28 fans as a fan replacement for the stock fan?

@Bruhyeet42069 Год назад

I had it now for about 3 weeks and its great. I do however have a bit of a wubwubwub sound between 50-60% fans speed, pretty easy fix with a custom fan curve tho.

I've been a Noctua guy for at least six years. Last month, I decided to experiment with the AK620 Zero Dark. The difference in cooling between the AK620 and the DH15 is not statistically significant. Fans are quiet, even when cranked. And frankly, it's drop dead gorgeous. At less than half the cost of the Noctua, it's one heck of a bargain.

@BakerStudiosIndy Год назад

@@salvationbygracethroughfaith Even manually cranked to 100%, I definitely can't hear the CPU cooler over the GPU fans. It may help that the glass side panel is facing my seating position. Left to the stock fan curve, I have yet to see my CPU temps exceed 50C with the fans at 60%. Yes, my Noctua DH15 was quieter... But at double the cost. I spent the savings on a larger SSD. Sadly, retirement comes with a limited budget. ;)

I have the predecessor to the Deepcool AK400, the Deepcool GAMMAXX 400. I got lucky and caught it on sale on amzn for $15 bucks! I have it cooling a ryzen 2600X (a 95 w tdp cpu) and it's performance is very satisfactory. The stock wraith spire just got to be to noisy. Compared to that, the GAMMAXX 400 is a whisper.

What about AG620 , are these two same regarding thermals , apart from the anesthetics part ?

@HelloSnake Год назад

I'm gonna get one tomorrow for a ryzen 5 7600x. Is the included thermal paste any good?

@Hito343 Год назад

The AK620 has almost same price as the D15 or Dark Rock Pro here, so only the Peerless Assassins makes sense when comes to budget, it cost a half of all these three.
