The affordable Deepcool AK400 tower cooler is the next in a recent trend of cheap, high-performing CPU air coolers. If you're building a new gaming PC soon, our CPU cooler benchmarks will help you pick the best air cooler (or liquid cooler) for the job. The AK400 air cooler competes vs. the Vetroo V5, Thermalright's Assassin Spirit, and higher-end coolers like the Arctic Freezer 34 Esports.

Add a Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 to the group. It's even lower priced at $25-$30 depending on the winds. It's older, but still constantly in stock any time I've looked for another. Oh! And it will fit inside a 4u rack case. Barely. So it's actually still relevant for all the people who are recycling computers into HomeLab servers. That probably also means it will fit into a mid-tower? I'd like to see how these compare to the current $35-$50 offerings, even if none of those are ever going to fit into the kind of machines I'm going to build. It's always interesting to me to see just HOW low you can go until the performance/price curve starts getting unacceptable. For me it was really just about finding the best "reasonably priced" cooler that would actually fit and also not be loud. At the time there really wasn't much else other than $65-$80 Noctua offerings, or 2u stock screamers (which were also going for $65+ used on Ebay) I have 3 of these sitting in my rack next to my desk right now keeping some 120w TDP Xeons cool. Those machines have been at 96-99% usage for the last 2+ months and the hottest core is @ 63°C (25°C room). And that is with my lazy use of graphite thermal pads instead of thermal paste. This is quiet enough that I can JUST make out my 2070 Super fans when they ramp all the way up. That includes all the OTHER fans in the 4 machines too. (Gaming PC in same rack. 85% fan cap on GPU.) They have limitations though. They can't handle a 180w Naples Epyc under load. =( But then again, these are $25 coolers... I keep my Epyc server in another rack in the basement so I don't hear it. Also because the heat is becoming unmanageable in this room... ...But DAC cables are *expeeeeeeeeensive* and I'm being cheap. It would LITERALLY cost me like $300+ in cables just to move those machines straight down 1 floor. (Unless I can figure out how to disable the fan-failure protection on my 40G/56G switch so I can watercool it. That would save on the cables, but it is just too loud to use. Like...anywhere. I have literally had a neighbor come over to "see what that noise is". And it was in my basement at the time. I can hear it through my sound insulation AND wearing closed back headphones.)

Steve, it's great to see you reviewing products like the AK400 -- it's always great to watch a review from you, and especially on the more 'midrange' variations, if I can say so, as not everyone would be looking to build the highest end systems, or the lower end on that matter.

@IRefuseToUseThisStupidFeature Год назад

I would love to see some tests of the cooler designs in isolation of the fans. Ex: Take one noctua A12X25 and mount it to each cooler, If it will take 2 fans try one then both. Once you have your benchmarks compare it to stock and see if swapping fans makes a significant difference. Then we can see what cooler is best and put whatever fans we want on it to go with our build.

@Marrrrtin Год назад

I concur! Would love to see this also. I'm curious whether you could save money by buying the cheapest tower and swapping in better fans to get high performance. I'm also curious how average case fans compare to these average cooler fans.

@purple-anthem Год назад

If this was done, I would hope to see the rankings organized by the price of the cooler + the price of the new fan, since a builder would probably need to buy both. I suspect for a budget cooler the improvement is not significant enough to justify the cost of a new fan.

@vollhorst140 Год назад

Kind of a academic exercise. If you plan to put on some other fans on the heatsink, the overall costs are rising very fast very high. It would be cheaper to buy a better(more expensive) cooler with better fans included in the first place.

@YoutubeHandlesSuckBalls Год назад

Whichever method of cooling you choose, the last stage is always 'transfer heat from some metal into the air'. Not only this, but the first stage is always 'transfer heat from your silicon into some metal'. The only thing that changes are the intermediate stages, generally this involves some fluid, either passively or actively moved, usually in a water cooling system or heat pipes. Depending on the efficiency of the intermediate stages, you might be better off just putting the heat directly into the metal, then moving that heat into the air.

Dang good cooler, and inaudible over the case fans. It was able to handle the insane MCE 280 watt load stress test without throttling but at an uncomfortable 95 degrees. 280 watts sustained is a bit too much for the cooler. But anything under 200 watts sustained and it’ll handle it nicely.

I just put the AK400 on my 5800X3D and I like it so far. I removed the pre-applied thermal compound, and instead used Kryonaut Extreme. I also replaced the stock fan with a BeQuiet 120MM High Speed PWM Silent Wings 4 due to personal preference since I'm using BeQuiet fans in the rest of my setup. I have yet to hit any thermal issues in gaming, but I could still add a second fan if necessary. The BeQuiet fan does have a higher max speed at 2500rpm than the stock DeepCool fan, so that is likely helping things. No clearance issues using a Lian Li 205 mesh case, a ROG Strix B550-XE Gaming board with 4 sticks of G.Skill Trident Z Neo RGB RAM.

It China company, not from Taiwan. So you should know why it feel hidden somewhere around. They are very prominence in Asian market but out of sight in North America market.

I bought an aresgame 120mm for my latest machine for something in the low $20's. It seems well built and cools really well. I'd be interested to see it in the next test.

Bought AK400 for my i5 12400F three weeks ago, 55-60C in BF2042, NFS Heat (very CPU intensive game) up to 64C. This cooler is very quiet, i love it)

I really wanted to upgrade from stock amd cooler to a stand up air cooler. I went to best buy and they had one stand up air cooler for 50 bucks. They also had a Thermaltake 120 mm AIO on sale for 60 bucks. I went with the aio, there are probably more things I needed to plug in, but I am very happy I found such a good deal. I'm running at 24 degrees Celsius at idle with a R2600. Cinebench only gets it up to 55 degrees where the stock cooler went up to 92 degrees.

The fan being slightly concave is great. It means it can be mounted closer to the front of the case and not make contact. Its no benefit to speeds or throughput, but a clever way to reduce potential noise and increase longevity.

@brettanderson6743 Год назад

I think it would be fascinating to see a test with a cooler that is super dusty. And then everyone will start cleaning their coolers more often probably.

@johnny93bg Год назад

I'd love to see a budget AIO comparison video. Also, I noticed that y'all GN have never reviewed Cooler Master AIOs. Most are cheap, though good performers!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm collecting parts on website for my daughters 1st PC and I was stuck with the PC cooler and was looking these exact coolers. this is great video and exellent timing! Thank you once more.

I’ve been using this very old akasa venom Medusa cooler for years now, I want to say 9-10 years now. I might even have new mounting solutions machined for it when I upgrade to a newer socket, just so I can say I still use it.

@M3PH11 Год назад

20:26 or an R5 5600x @ 4.75GHz (locked on all cores) and 1.3V. So pleased i bought a couple of these to upgrade an old Arctic Freezer F12 in my server and one of my current desktop when I built it. I've been buying Arctic products for ~ 20 years at this point. So much value for money imo.

@Greez1337 Год назад

Did a 12600k build with this cooler for my cousin. Kept the 12600k under 80C drawing ~120W full tilt in CB when we were validating the UV+OC. At $50 Canadian, it's so much nicer than a Hyper 212...especially the mounting.

@George_McLovin 3 месяца назад

Hey man I know it’s been a while since you posted this comment but I would appreciate it a ton if you share how the AK400 works for your brother’s 12600k in the long run

@budgetking2591 Год назад

Would be cool to have the Snowman cooler in there, see how it does compared to these more expensive coolers ( snowman is like 20 usd, probally got a bit more expensive recently like everything else)

@sarmatiko Год назад

Nope, still around ~20$ (depends on options like RGB\1 or 2 fans, mount point)

@mallee5000 Год назад

I'd be really interested to see how the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO stacks up in your review. The 212 EVO is probably one of the most popular cheap air coolers on the market.

Will you be reviewing the revision B of the scythe fuma 2? It’s essentially the same but with faster higher static pressure fans. Curious to see if those fans can increase headroom on the finstack and what the cost of noise is.

@zeratulrus142 Год назад

Will you do reviews for all these Ali coolers like different models of Snowman and Coolangel? Some people swear by them being the best bang for the buck, especially in places where they are much cheaper than anything similar from a local store, others say they are basically scrap metal.

Thanks for the video. Small thing to ask, though, would it be too difficult to use dark mode when showing web pages or tech sheets? It's very tough on the eyes for people watching at night, having a 90% white screen suddenly pop up. MS Edge has got a good auto-darkmode in ://flags, btw.

ever thought about doing a comparison on fan/cooler combos between regular fans and delta fans? (disregarding normalized fan curves for those of us who like going 100% all day) since I'm seeing a lot of these tower-style coolers pretty much flood the Amazon market up my way (Canada)
