DeepCool AK620 CPU Cooler Review

Performance

Test setup and Testing Methodology

The system used for testing is listed in the table below. Ambient temperatures were kept at 24 degrees Celsius +/- 1 degree. The thermal paste used was Noctua’s NT-H2 (for testing consistency). The cool and quite mode was set to default. The fan speed was set to Full speed. The idle temperatures were recorded after 10 minutes of idle and max temperatures were recorded after a 5-minute torture test using Adia 64 System Stability Test and recording the CPU value reported.

Now we get to the good stuff the results. I apologize for my cooling catalogue being rather slim, but as more coolers come in we will continue to grow this list. As you can see in the graph below we have the Idle temps for the DeepCool AK620. This chip hovers at a cool 26 degrees Celsius. Almost ambient temps and honestly idle temps are irrelevant because of the lower clocks at idle.

Alright LOAD temps! The ones that really matter. The DeepCool AK620 performed pretty well coming in at 55 degrees Celsius (CPU test) and 93 degrees Celsius (FPU test) Only time will tell where this cooler will rank in future tests, but I am pretty confidant it will compete with the best of them as the cooler manages to crank out decent temps even against AIO’s! Also the chip cools immediately after the load is removed showing the cooler has great recovery from a high work load.

Noise can be a important factor for some. If we have a open case design and the fans might be exposed, we don not want record setting noise coming from our cooler. This not the case with the DeepCool AK620. As you can see in the graph above the fans at full speed hit 26 dBs. Just to note, the actually hearable noise from the fans, is not distracting at all.
