I dont have a crazy top of the line CPU (R5 5600X) but with the stock cooler it was getting up to 70c under load and I got a AK400 Zero Dark Plus and now it doesn't go above 50c Deepcool AK series is REALLY good
Same as the original fan, hear me out, if you haven't bought it already, get the AK400 Zero Dark version, that one has 2 fans already and is completely black 😉
Yeah I actually already bought the AK400 zero dark just becuz I loved the design, but mine only came with one fan similar to the orignal ak400, I know there is a ak620 which has 2 fans and 2 heat sinks, but I think the original is fine for my medium build. But thank you for clarifying that I need to place the hypothetical second fan facing the same way as the first fan , I was really confused on this but you cleared it up for me, thank you man definitely subscribing now!!
How will this one pair with a 5600x considering I have the Cooler Master Lite 5 RGB case with the side panel on, which basically has like the worst possible airflow setup. I have the strix 1080 for the GPU.
ouch hotbox, well it would be ok just make sure that you have enough airflow from both front fans and the rear one, I think that case has 0 fans up top... Would be cool if at least 1 could be up top
Hi VLAD, thank you for a nice presentaion of this cooler and its capabalities. Recently I bought a 5900X and it's on the way. I'm on budge and wanna know which of these coolers can keep up with the 5900X? 1. DeepCool AK400 ( $35) 2. PcCooler GI-X5R v2 ($22) 3. GameMax Gamma 500 ($20)
Hey man, I would go for AK400 Zero Dark, the one with 2 coolers, 5900X is a hot CPU, it needs better cooler. Maybe it's best to save a little bit more and get AK620
@@LevelUPGamingTech thank you for responding me. At first, I had a plan to do so but, as I looked at the details I noticed the AK400 zero dark plus version has slightly weaker fans compared to the regular AK400. so I decided to buy a regular AK400 instead and then add an FK120 fan the one used on the AK620 very similar to FC120 P on the AK400. What do you think? Is it a good decision?
@@LevelUPGamingTech yeah they’re good but the fans that are installed on Ak400 zero dark plus are not FK model, they have max 1650 rpm while the fan on Ak400 have 1850 rpm. And for this reason I didn’t buy the zero dar plus model and instead I decided to buy an Ak400 then add another 1850rpm fan to it (Fk120 model) IMHO this config would outperform the Ak400 zero dark plus.
@@LevelUPGamingTech I also ordered the Coolermaster MB600L v2 case. How many fans and which type should I install on it? It has just one fan pre-installed on it. And as I said before my CPU is 5900X besides the Gainward 3070Ti GPU.
if you don't OC your CPU, a 4 heatpipe cooler like this would be sufficient (the temp and fan noise reduction is very noticeable if compared to stock cooler). Deepcool is available worldwide, so their reputation holds, but don't compare it to Noctua, for example.
This cooler is plenty for the 5700x. For context, I use a 5800x3d for my ak400 and although it can reach 80c during 100% cpu workload, that's about it. I doubt the 5700x which is a lower tdp chip can out-heat the 5800x3d so just jump on it and get the ak400 for the 5700x!
They should of made the entire heatsink all black like the Gammax 400 GT.
Maybe there will be a blackout edition 😏
@@LevelUPGamingTech I hope so. I’ll buy it.
they just released it, it is called AK400 Zero Dark and they have the Plus version for 2 fans
@@randomguy-fq5hl really bro where? Amazon?
@@randomguy-fq5hl saw it looks nice but i'm not a big fan of the mounting bracket.
Finally someone making good videos about this cooler. Thank you bro I was searching for a video like this for a long time.
Glad you liked it man 😁
Thank you, great video and I appreciated the install clip.
Damn they're really making a name for themselves
I said this many times in my videos, but they are getting better and better with each product 🙌
youre too under rated
Thanks man, really appreciate it 🙏
This bad boy keeps my 12400F till 55C

Very good video!
Thanks dude 👍👍
Looks a bit futuristic 🙂
Maybe but it looks minimalistic and gets the job done 👍
It,s ok for i5 13600k?
Hey! would you recommend this for the new intel i5 13400F or should I go for AK620? What will be the max temps under load?
This one would be enough, you can also consider AK400 Zero Dark variant, it comes with 2 fans 👍
Thanks ❤
How do you find out your cpu temperature while palying the games? Also great video!
Thanks buddy 😀
For the temps I use the MSI Afterburner program
Random one for you but do you know what the difference is between the AS500 & the AS500 PLUS?
Plus has 2 fans 👍
this keeps my cpu at under 60 degrees when im playing overwatch 2
For i5 13600k
Deepcool as500 plus or ak500
Saludos, quiero colocar el modelo plus en un ryzen 5 3400g, sera compatible?
Is this compatible with the current generation AMD Ryzen AM5 socket processors?
Yes!
Just ordered Gammax. What’s the difference?
i guess it will be enough for a 5600X. what do you think?
If it can handle 5900X pretty fine, it should be more than plenty for 5600X 👍
@@LevelUPGamingTech thanks for the suggestion 🤩
@@antuthegame Anytime man 😊
If I wanted to add a second fan on this cpu cooler , which way would I position the fan for best cooling? Would it be the same way as the first one (

would it be possible to make a comparison with Scythe Kotetsu Mark 3? need some references, thanks!
Just got it today, will do something about it in a few weeks 🙌
@@LevelUPGamingTech omg thank you!!
Does that cooler uses copper heatpipes or something else because im going to buy that cooler..plzz suggest
Should be copper, nickel plated, anyhow it cools great so it's a no brainer :)
Would you get this cooler for midrange cpus or the be quiet pure rock 2
This one for sure 👌
hello there..this cooler would be enough for i5 13600k with NO overclocking ? i play only WoW
Should be enough, just for the sake of mind, go for the Zero Dark model, has 2 fans
Hi Sir, is it good for H110M H
Can this cool i5 12600k? not overclocking.
Not OC, yeah, consider getting one more fan though, just to be safe...
Хеллоу, Май Нейм из Роман, летс гоу боулин.
Can it be used for I5 12600k?
Yes it can 👌 Also check out Zero Dark AK400 it has 2 fans
If I had another fan to this cooler would it be better with a R9 5900x?
Get AK620 instead, trust me 😉
How will this cooler work with a ryzen 5800x3d in a Corsair 570x crystal series case?
I would go with AK620, it will be ok the AK400, but for that CPU I strongly suggest something just a bit stronger 👍
@@LevelUPGamingTech I hear the AK620 has a whiring noise.
this cooler work good with a 5800x
Can i use this with my Asus prime h610 e d4 mobo with xpg rgb ram??? Will it interfer with RAMs rgb plastic???
Nope this one is fine with the RAM sticks, even taller ones
@@LevelUPGamingTech thanks man🤟
Can i remove the thermal paste that comes with the cooler?
yes
Is this cooler sufficient for 13700F? I only really do light gaming.
if you don't OC your CPU, a 4 heatpipe cooler like this would be sufficient (the temp and fan noise reduction is very noticeable if compared to stock cooler).
Deepcool is available worldwide, so their reputation holds, but don't compare it to Noctua, for example.
Hi man is this cooler enough for r7 5700x to get like under 75 degrees in games ?
I would look at AK620 for that, or Google for AK400 Zero Dark it should be ok. Just should.
This cooler is plenty for the 5700x.
For context, I use a 5800x3d for my ak400 and although it can reach 80c during 100% cpu workload, that's about it. I doubt the 5700x which is a lower tdp chip can out-heat the 5800x3d so just jump on it and get the ak400 for the 5700x!
does this cooler work with AM5?
Yep
can it fit to thermaltake core v 1 case?
Actually no, TT case is 140mm limited, cooler is 155mm in height
tnx@@LevelUPGamingTech
it comes with thermal paste?
Pre applied on the heatsink itself, I obviously wiped it and forgot to record that part 😉
It's best for gen 12
could the ak400 handle the i7-12700F?
Don't do it, it can "handle it" but nothing more than that. Get something bigger like AK620 😉
I want cooler for 12700kf and not break my Wallet
Can i use it with my R5 5600x !
For sure mate 👍
Can i use it with my i5 11400f?
Yes you can 😃
Style over substance. Bad graph designs made it hard to understand.
What didn't you understand?
is this enough for a 5800x no OC?
It is just enough, I would put something stronger on that CPU...
