The AK620 is capped on each cooling tower with a pair of decorative cap plates featuring a simplified DeepCool logo nestled in each corner, on a pixel-like backdrop. But does the screen-packing Digital model have what it takes to tame today’s hotter CPUs like Intel’s i7-13700K? Two powerful PWM fans with superior fluid dynamic bearings provide quiet operation without compromising cooling performance, ensuring a perfect balance.

The display can be controlled by DeepCool’s Digital software, and allows for minor customizations like chosing whether the CPU temperature is showing in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Unlike the last sample where these vibrations occurred at low noise levels, this unit had these higher pitched noises occur mainly when the fans ran at full speed. And while one of them showed significant thermal improvements after installing Thermalright’s LGA1700 contact frame, the other motherboard showed no difference in temperatures whatsoever! The DeepCool AK620 cooler offers extremely high cooling performance thanks to its six heat pipes and two PWM fans.

The same premium quality materials, featuring six advanced copper heat pipes, a pure copper coldplate, a dense dual-tower heat sink, and two silent FDB fans, produce a powerful winning formula for high performance cooling in a ZERO DARK raven design. Two 120 PWM fans with superior fluid dynamic bearings offer low noise operation without losing cooling output for a perfect balance. Similar to most heatpipe coolers, the DeepCool AK620 utilizes standoffs and cross mounting beams to provide a secure base for the cooler’s pair of spring-tension screws that hold it securely in place. DeepCool’s AK620 Digital features the same premium quality design as the previously released AK620 Zero Dark, but adds an innovative LCD display.Multiple thermal tests are run on each CPU to test the cooler in a variety of conditions, and acoustic measurements are taken with each result. The bottom line is that Core 2 is the name of Intel’s latest line of CPUs, based on a new micro-architecture, designed for speed and efficiency. The six, nickel plated pipes of the AK620 cooler collect between the fixed mounting plate and the cooler cold plate. With its quiet operation and exceptional cooling performance, the DeepCool AK620 Zero Dark CPU Air Cooler is the ideal choice for both gaming rigs and professional workstations. Its current lineup includes air and AIO coolers, computer cases, keyboards, power supplies and other accessories.

Since last fall, Tom’s Hardware has brought you cooling reviews using one of the most power-hungry desktop CPUs on the market – Intel’s flagship i9-13900K. We’ve been impressed recently by the company’s Assassin IV air cooler, and DeepCool’s 360mm LT720 AIO currently holds our one of our top recommendations on our list of best AIO coolers. Heatpipe separation between the left and right towers allows for optimal dissipation into the cooling fins.The first sample of this unit I tested had issues with high-pitched vibrations which effectively made it impossible to test at noise-normalized levels because of the increased noise caused by them.
