The New King of Air Cooling - DeepCool’s AK620 

True. Thermals might be better, but noise usually isn’t. Noise:performance ratio is better on Noctua.

@@2pumpedupforu Thermals weren't better on the Dark Rock Pro 4, Vs the NH-D15 though. Nor the acoustics.

You can't cool down a thermonuclear reactor without a nearby lake or river.

I'll be testing it with Alder Lake this week

that thing's gonna need triple rad water cooling LOL

@@boringtextreviews whats the results

Whatever he is doing now, more money less stress.

I think he’s burning out. He should take it easy.

@@sol9603 he had some health issues and navigating the naysayers on the internet can drag anyone down.

@@kayakMike1000 hope he is doing alright

@@kayakMike1000 Ah, I see. I haven’t tuned into the channel in a long time. But I’m glad he’s doing better. Stress kills.

The feedback on the graphs is being noted. You're correct about the noise chart.

personnally i try to bend them as much possible to avoid to touch my gpu since i use a 140mm from a 135mm which as 120mm mounting hole :P not product showcase though

It's not an accident- the readings are lkfs measurements. They should be in negative, but the graphs wouldn't work with negative numbers

@@boringtextreviews Interesting. I assumed the units were decibels since it wasn't written anywhere. Your comment made me look at the article on the website and the charts there are *a lot* better than the ones in this video. I'd honestly prefer a screenshot of those charts instead of whatever this is.

Does it tho... They said that about the small noctua with the new fans yet many found it not true.

nice

1:24 yes it did come with additional thermal paste

@@stepbruv8780 Thank you very much. I hope that my joke above was not too much cringe ;)

@@jannegrey593 lol

Both come with small tubes of paste

My test bench has a castle 280ex, their AS500 is quite good too - Alex

@@adoredtv probably built about 10 computers for family and friends in the past 2 years and where i didnt use stock AMD cooler, i used a deepcool aio from captains to castles and *knock on wood, zero issues with thermals or failures.

I have the DA3, it's the same pretty much

@@InkDrop. if they both have the same performance, the only thing left is the dimensions of the cooler itself. I'll check it later.. DA3 have 7 heat pipes Vs ak620 6 heat pipes so maybe there is improvement with the cooling system too

They send you one for free if you can send them proof of purchase of a new CPU or motherboard

@@jml191 Cool but do they have the reputation where like 4 years from now, Noctua will send you a kit for something you bought today?

@@Overonator I dunno about reputation, but I literally did it 3 months ago. Bought a d15 in 2014 and sent customer support an email this past July. Mind you it took over a month to get here, but I didn't pay for it.

I probably should have explained that one better. It is due to the way the noise was measured. In reality, both of those numbers should be negative - but the graphs weren't cooperating with negative values.

Must be a dialect difference. I pronounce Cinema as Scene-a-ma

How did an inert object break?

doesn't noctua have a long warranty though?

@@sinephase Yeah, the fans have a 6 year warranty. I just had one fail after 2 years. Luckily the RMA was quick.

I will get the AKA 620 if my warranty was expired for the D-15. I guess everybody else wants me to be super specific with my comments. ❤️

This is due to how the noise was measured, in LKFS. In reality, both of those measurements should be in negative values - but the graphs weren't working with negative numbers at all.

You're right, the wrong version of this video was uploaded by mistake. But what's done is done :|

Is more like BS claim... As fast search in the net shows tom`s HW review of that cooler, and it suck compared to Noctua D15...

@@themobster7284 And 4-5 years later the Noctua fans are still quiet... Can the same be said for these. They claim Fluid Dynamic Bearing, but a lot of them claim this..

@@The_Noticer. Well is not only that.. People thend to forget that noctua have MANY things over the other brands... For example Noctua SecuFirm2 mounthing way is one of the very best, beats out ThermalRight, Zalman, ThermalTake, Cooler Master and many others.. Or how Noctua will send Mounthing KIT for every single cooler they did ever made for every socket that exists, or will exist in the future, i cant say that for the others.. Also Noctua`s support seems good as their products are, their value the people that spended money on their products... I have Noctua D15 since it did launch, and never had and single issue or something to be pissed, mad or whatever. I have also x4 Noctua Industrial PPC 140mm 3K, from 2017 they are still running great, only 1 of the fans did fail and the motor seems did die, so i did email Noctua, and told them (as i did lost my warranty) i need a replacement, and they not only did send me replacement fan, also AM4 mounthing KIT, and they was ok with me missing the proof of purchase .. What to say great company, great support, and they value their costumers that is for sure... I also have x3 Be Quiet Silent Wings III 140mm 1K, they are running fine since 2018.. And BTW i did use ThermalTake coolers, Zalman cooler, ThermalRight, Noctua, Noctua have the best mounthing system by hands down.. ThermalRight have also ok mounthing system, BUT the damn fan mounthing brackets are pain in the A$$ huge pain, compared to Noctua is just SO BAD....

I'm not sure if it has "lifetime" CPU bracket upgrades, but DeepCool is offering LGA 1700 brackets

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA nice april's fool joke...........😆😆😆😆😆

@@themobster7284 facts *exists* people *shill and give money to the most popular brand*

@@cadetsparklez3300 What fact u make no sense... Fast search shows tom's HW and their review of this deep cool, and it suck, Noctua D15 is still better... Also i use my Noctua D15 since it did launch, and is great, so what u say is BS...

I'll concede that the quality of this review could have been better, but Tom's "Just buy it!" Hardware showed only a single thermal test with an underclocked and undervolted CPU. That said, definitely check out other reviews. KitGuru and others have also reviewed this cooler and found similar results

@@boringtextreviews KitGuru is also good source for reviews and stuff.. BUT they used Noctua D15S that is the single fan version.. So is x2 fans vs 1 fan, and Noctua was like 1c behind, that can be a margin of error.. Still i wont spend my money on deep cool products, as i see them as crap brand, and is not worth the money they have less warranty (Noctua did give like 6 years i think compared to 3).. Also i can bet the Noctua fans are by FAR better then the ones on the deep cool.. And another thing D15 was made as upgraded version of the already award winning D14, they just tuned some stuff, like the RAM compatibility, improved fans and that was about it, i dont think they did too much changes over the D14.. So is normal some other brands to catch up close to Noctua, but still i got mine for 75 euros new was from test review, so id go that way over paying about the same for the deep cool...

And yes BTW Tom HW`s BS "just buy it" review of the RTX cards was total NONSENSE... But as we all know some sites/ channels get payed by Intel or nVIDIA to mislead the consumer, i doubt that was the situation with Noctua...
