good job. aparently youre the only one who has decided to make a video about the ak620 running 3 fans. The way i did it was placing a noctua CHROMAX NF-A15 HS-PW in the center (center for aesthetics) this is for getting a bit more airflow around the VRMs. We i got around 2-5 Celsuis in idle and longer to reach max temp. so while gaming should be better results since the cpu only work 100% at burst moments.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Glad you found this useful and I appreciate you sharing your setup as it may help others. Seems like you got better results too, maybe because the Noctua is generally better than the AK620. The main issue I think with the 12th Gen is the contact with the cold plate on the cooler. I have noticed from my testing of AK620, Arctic LF II 280 and 420 ARGB that the thermal paste mostly gathers down the centre of the CPU probably because of the bad contact. I believe that maybe using a contact frame will give better results, but I'm not sure if this will help with my CPU as it has been bent for 9 months now :). I might still give it a try and update if I decide to do that. All the best, TK :).
@TKsTechTalk Try the thermal grizzly CPU frame and also the Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad instead of paste. Give the pad about 30min under max load to melt and get to functional state. You will drop 5-10deg C just from pad.
i bought a similar setup after watching this video, i got a Phantom Spirit 120 SE dual tower cpu and its holding my i9 12900k alright, no thermal throttling here no overclock, doing undervolt on a cheap motherboard, great thermal paste, the biggest help for me was buying a 7 fan pc case to help with the airflow, thanks for the info!
Hi, Thanks for watching. You are most welcome and thanks for the kind comment. Glad you found it useful. I have another video comparing AK620 with Liquid Freezer II 280 ARGB, feel free to check it out. All the best, TK 🙂.
Hi, Thanks for watching. I guess it will depend on which CPU you intend to use with this cooler, but from my testing on a 12900K if you power limit to 241W and undervolt by -0.05v it should be fine and for CPU's with TDP lower than this CPU. I don't really game so I can't comment accurately though since gaming does not use anywhere near as much CPU as stress tests it should be fine and I mainly used for video editing with the settings listed earlier and it does get a bit warm but not as hot as stress test and did not thermal throttle. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
I did buy the AK620 with BeQuiet Silent Wings 4 pro for the third fan to cool my Ryzen 7700 non-X. I think it helps quite a lot because my room gets warmer much faster and the temperature never been more than 83C while gaming, whereas it is around 74-76C while running Cinebech R23. The ambient temperature is around 31-33C. I did adjust some power limits though
Hi, Thanks for watching. I appreciate your input. That's an interesting result and also strange that it runs hotter in gaming than Cinebench, either the game is CPU hungry or this was a momentary spike, maybe some background process played a part or maybe even a different fan curve could help, either way seems like its performing well on your setup. All the best, TK :).
Ryzen 7700 cores do not have specified as P or E cores, so I have no idea. Not just Cinebench test was weird but this happened to CPU-Z as well. It never reached 80C in temperature while having a full load but the clock was being only around 4.9GHz and 5GHz, never got to 5.3GHz in the tests. But while gaming the clock was there at 5.3GHz in every games at 83-85C with 100% usage.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I cannot test with a 12700k as I do not currently own one, I can only test with what I use, sorry I cannot be of help there. Also at about 3mins 34 seconds in the video I did read the temperature off my thermostat in the room which was 23.5 degrees at the time, not too hot but maybe a little warmer than most people are use to assuming cooler climate and maybe use of AC. Hope that helps. All the best, TK.
It is interesting, you have obtained 26900 points at 96º, I with my i7 13700 and a noctua U12A have had to lower it from 219w to 205w so that its temperature does not rise above 92º and I have obtained 27600 points, it makes it clear to me that if I change the noctua to this ak620 is not going to be able to lower its temperatures below 92º in the Cinebench stress test in each of its cores.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Firstly I appreciate you sharing your setup and temps, this could help others as well. In short I feel that the 13700 is probably just as good as 12900k but maybe very little better on thermals. You are probably correct, maybe the AK620 won't give massive gains and all these 12th and 13th gen cpus are hot. I have a 13900k currently running with Arctic 420 AIO and still just about manage to keep it around 90C by limiting power to stock TDP. It's nice to see that a U12A on 13700 can produce similar results. All the best, TK :).
Hi, Thanks for watching. I do not have access to the cooler at the moment but if i get a chance I will try to check this, however against the 12900k i doubt it will be much different to what we have seen maybe only a couple of degrees warmer. The main issue with these 12th gen CPU's is the bending issue and I'm sure we will get much better temps using the contact frame. Hope that helps, all the best, TK.
@@TKsTechTalk Hi, I only have a 65W TDP 5700X to cool and I plan on unlocking the power limit and undervolt as much as possible. Will probably look at about double that power to cool. I do not yet have all the components for this build, (planning on a completely new build and sell my whole old PC as is) and I am looking for a good cooling solution (Case / Cooler / Fans) Cheers!
@@Costinmusca So from what I understand the 5700x is more efficient that something like the 5800x, not sure about overclocking but if you undervolt in addition to overclock I guess this cooler should be sufficient probably even with 1 fan, though its hard to say exactly how good it will be but even if you double the power will still only be 130W compared to 12900K's 241 + watts. It really is a challenge choosing the cooler, case and fans as there is just so much to choose from. Ultimately the best way to choose is price performance if we solely concentrate on value and ignore minimal performance gains for a lot more money. High air flow case as you are probably aware is the way to go for best cooling performance and a good cooler is essential, i think the AK620 is very good value for money though there are others like it. The case fans as long as they are quiet with good airflow is usually enough and best not to go overkill on exhaust fans, I would concentrate on making sure the intake is good and the case has sufficient space for intake fans. Let us know config you chose and how you get on, all the best with the build :).
@@TKsTechTalk Eventually I've settled for a Noctua NH-U12A, but still running various configurations of fans and HDD placement, just can't figure out which is the overall best solution to keep GPU/CPU and HDD all balanced out. I want my mechanical HDD to always stay cool and actively cooled while keeping both CPU and GPU around ~75 *C on full load and without interfering with each other too much.. Kinda hard since both GPU and CPU nowadays have their own power management based on how good your cooling is.. So I'd never see much difference in actual temps and on top of that it's kinda hard to keep track on the performance without a very stable environment. Also, still waiting on various gaskets/adapters/connectors for the fans in order to also get the most silent setup possible.
@@Costinmusca I think you made a good choice with the cooler, should be ok for the 5700x. As for the fans and HDD placements, I think maybe go with what's convenient as I personally feel that there may not be a big temperature difference maybe just a couple of degrees at most unless there is something blocking a lot of airflow in a smaller case. All the best with the rest of the parts and build :).
Hi, Thanks for watching and sorry for the late response. Considering we are able to get somewhat REASONABLE (if you can call it that lol) cooling out of this air cooler I think for gaming it should hold up ok as these synthetic benchmarks are only good for test purposes. I still think some sort of liquid cooled option would be better but in the current build used for video editing the 12900k is doing well with the AK620 with a slight power limit applied, I would highly recommend undervolting where possible and limit power draw to 241w as it is a very minimal loss of performance. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Thank you for the detailed reply, much appreciated. Curranty I am using the AK620 with I5 12600K and its perfect, but will go with liquid for i9. Best regards.
@@SIM0N0609 Yeah that's a good setup 12600k is definitely fine with that cooler, you know if the rumours are true about 14th Gen, hold out for 14900k (if it ends up being called that) apparently its more efficient and is rumoured to be supported on current LGA1700 z690/z790 motherboards and would be the last upgrade on this platform. If it is true and if it really is more efficient your AK620 might not need replacing and you can always test it before going liquid. I really hope this is true will end up being a great option especially for those who opted for DDR4 like myself :).
Hi Thanks for watching, sorry I missed this question, basically I took the fan and clip from a deep cool neptwin cooler which wasnt exactly the same but just about fit, im guessing there are probably generic fan clips which might work but I also didnt have easy access to anything so was lucky to have a deep cool cooler sitting around to test with, let us know if you managed to find one might help others too, all the best, TK :)
I was going to buy the clip from ali ex and the fan from amazon then i saw the ag 400 plus for way cheaper price and it came with 2 fan and 4 clips so I bought it 😂 the issue is my 13700 f still hit 100 c under open gl stress test i tried to re mount the cooler no luck idk my-be my cpu is hot or my cooler is bad
Hi, I bought another fk120, which is the current fan that this cooler uses. Will arrive in a few days and hopefully I will get the same results as I saw here.
HI, Thanks for watching. Yes that does seem to be the same spec fan as the on one the cooler. As you saw from my test, the third fan might give you 1 or 2 degrees cooler and it will take a little longer to reach the highest temp in sustained load. If you are using 12th gen intel (or something like 5800x with also runs hot) you can also try to undervolt which will also help a lot with temps. Let us know how you get on, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Actually, just using a i7 2600 non k. It is adjusted to turbo to 4.2 and bclk was set to 103.5 on my asus p7p68. Brings my hyper 212 to its' knees, 90 degrees on cinebench so I bought this one, which now brings temps down to a comfortable 70 degrees. Planning to upgrade in the near future though, so I will be using this as well on the new setup I will be using.
@@TKsTechTalk Just received my third fk120 today, though sad (or maybe happy) to say the temps didn't go down much, maybe because my cpu is not powerful enough to heat up the cooler. Or maybe Ill need to upgrade the exhaust fan on my NR600 case as well.
@@marlonmangubat4146 fair enough that makes sense I guess, even my results show very minimal decrease if any, the exhaust fan may not make too much difference, but NR600 is a decent case. Also I think the triple fan setup maybe just helps a bit in lighter loads as its removes a tiny bit of heat.
Hi, Thanks for watching. So basically I used a fan from another cooler, the Neptwin, which has the same size fan and the bracket is very similar so just fit good enough to use. Hope that helps. All the best, TK :).
There’s not enough thermal mass that necessitates a 3rd fan. I think Deepcool has almost maxxed out the cooling potential with the 2 fans included. I’m planning on getting a 13600k or the next gen equivalent of that, hopefully this cooler will be enough for it!
Hi, Thanks for watching. You are right and the results show very little improvement but I did this as myself and lot of people probably think more fans equals better performance. I think the 13600k should be fine, seen some decent results with a less capable cooler and it seems fine. All the best with the build, TK :).
@@dfgoijoi It might get hot and loud if you use the CPU cores for rendering video. About 90c max at 85+ fan speeds. This is based on a video with the ak620 + 12900k (which is basically a 13700k)
Hi, Thanks for watching. I don't have access to a 12600k or 13600k but as it has a much lower TDP than 12900k i imagine it should be fine. The link below shows a test on youtube with 1 fan on AK620 paied with 13600k and seems to do pretty well: ruclips.net/video/-4dY4A7_hWU/видео.html Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
Possibly it will work for you, its tdp is 181w, I have an i7 13700 with a maximum tdp of 219w but no air cooling could with it, much less an i7 13700k or i9 13900k at least in their default values in watts, I have had to lower it to 205w so that it remains stable below 92º in the stress tests or else some cores would shoot at 100º, from 181w to 205w there is room for you to keep your temperatures below 90º calmly . I have only been able to test with the high-end noctua, from what I see the ak620 is more of the same due to its results in the 12th gen. reaching 96º and with a lower score than the 13th gen i7 or i9.
@@Josehader Hola, pido disculpas si el español es malo. Estoy usando el traductor de Google, el enfriador AK620 mantiene mis 13600k a mediados de los sesenta mientras juego y ochenta en la prueba de esfuerzo.
HI, Thanks for watching. I'm not sure to be honest, I think the new AMD CPU's seem to keep ramping up till 95C irrespective of cooler even without overclocking. Maybe an AIO would be a better option for these new CPU's from Intel and AMD, hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
Hi. Is there any difference between the Neptwin and Ak600? Seems they’re exactly the same Both of them have twin towers and twin fans? Did you test them out?
Hi, Thanks for watching. I actually did have a Neptwin for a little while though it moved on before I had a chance to test it with the 12900k. I think the AK620 will perform a little better than the neptwin. However on a 3600XT i saved a few degrees over the stock cooler using the Neptwin and I think from reviews the AK620 beat those results by a few more degrees. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one but hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
You may have stated this, but did you test the difference between triple fan and stock double? And did you test with other, more CFM, fans on the cooler?
Hi, Thanks for watching. Yes as you can see from the video I tested stock 2 fans vs the 3 fan setup and there wasn't a huge improvement in temps but I did not have higher CFM fans to test with so unfortunately I can't say how much better it would be.
Hi, I have a neptwin and was thinking of upgrading to an ak620. I would really appreciate a comparative video of the 2 heatsinks you have since I can't find any reviews 🙏🏻
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I haven't got the neptwin anymore and I wasn't able to test it with the 12900k but I do believe the AK620 is probably better at cooling the higher end CPU's. I was able to keep a 5800x at under 80C with a neptwin, but the 12900k is a different beast so not sure it would do as well as the AK620. However, I would first recommend testing the neptwin with a contact frame to see how it performs as I got a big temperature drop on the 12900k with a contact frame, assuming you are using Intel that is and depends on what CPU you are using. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I do not have a 5800x3d to test with but I do know that this is also a hot CPU. I think for gaming it should be fine though under stress testing I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 90C with some throttling. From searching I found that Cinebench on a NHD15 can hit 90C but but under gaming manages under 70C. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk okey, thanks for reply. I bought 7 5700x in the end, i know x3d is better, but 5800x3d and 5800x use tons of watts, and it seems 5700x will be sufficient for gaming purposes under low wattage
@@Vale-gz3mu Yes you are right, the 5700x has a much lower TDP and runs cooler. I guess it depends which GPU you use and which resolution you use if you use it for gaming. The 5800x3d will benefit with high end GPU's otherwise the 5700x is great for mid to low end GPU's.
I just want to gameplay, live stream and video edit and is Deepcool AK620 good for that? Because Cinebench is not what real life performance means. No one is going to run Cinebench 24/7 365 days, not even me. Can you tell me how will i9 12900k + Deepcool AK620 will heat in that situation? Just gaming, twitch streaming and editing
HI, Thanks for watching. You are right these benchmark stress tests are just to test the worst case scenario and capability of the coolers. I'm not a gamer but I have seen plenty of content where tests show that the CPU runs much lower watts and therefore cooling is fine. I do use it for video editing and the 12900k does heat up a little when doing exports though not to 100 degrees at least when using the intel power limits and i would highly recommend using the Intel power limits as the temps are better. Might even help a bit to use the contact frame especially if its a new build. I just got one and plan to do some tests with Arctic 420 AIO and will try with AK620 if i get time. Hope this helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Thanks for the response. Yes, your info was very helpful indeed. Of course it's my life's first ever PC so I will definitely use Intel Power Limits. Finally some relief after knowing it does run in lower watts and AK620 can handle it. I don't wanna opt-in for AIO ever because except cooling, nothing is good about it. In the last 2 years I have heard enough accidents or malfunctioning regarding AIOs. People say it doesn't leak or malfunction, then what were those tons of complain that I had heard? There's no way I will ever install such a huge risk in my PC
@@DeathStriker88 You are welcome. One more thing I forgot to add was in addition to the power limits, if you are comfortable with trying, apply a small undervolt, i currently use 241w with -0.05v undervolt. I have to agree with you about the AIO, this is my first time using one and its fine so far though i do know people have had issues with them in the past, lets see how long it lasts :). All the best with the build :).
@@TKsTechTalk thanks, hope your pc will work great. Recently I learned something. In BIOS you have to do just few settings. 1. Disable MCE 2. Put your PL1 to 90 and PL2 to 90 too. That way it consumes much less power and heats much less. The alternative way will be put PL1 to 125 and PL2 to 250 or 253. Then a 3 fanned deepcool AK620 will cool it too
How's the performance of this Liquid cooler? Recently I have built my gaming pc and I have paired the Deepcool LE 500 240mm Liquid cooler with i7 13700k. Will it perform well?
HI, Thanks for watching. The 13700K has similar tdp to 12900k and maybe a little higher I think its 253w vs 241w at least at the intel stated power limits. With this in mind I believe it will have similar thermal performance, though I think the IHS and cooler contact is a little better as I found with my recent 13900k though I haven't tested this yet with the air cooler. What sort of temps do you get with the 240mm liquid cooler? I think a 280 would perform a little better, but then case restrictions may not allow to install one and then of course there's the price consideration. Let us know your results might help other too. Thanks in advance.
@@mustafa.blender3d Yes if the case permits you could try this, but if it fits a 280 I think generally they perform on par or better than a 360 as far as other reviews go. Maybe try a contact frame if you haven't done so, with contact frame on my 12900k with Arctic 420 I got more than 10 degrees C cooler temps and 13900k improved by 5c. Let us know what you decide and if it improves.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Sorry for the delayed response. I'm not sure to be honest, but since it is lower TDP than 12900K i think it might be ok. Wish I had one to test with to give you a more definitive answer. All the best, TK :).

My pc have the same specs as u but with a 3080ti and my cpu p-core can’t run higher than 3,2 mhz what is wrong with my pc I did clean everything but however I didn’t apply new thermal but I had the pc for less than a year. So please can you help
Hi, Thanks for watching. Just out of interest and I am not doubting you, but I made the mistake on a recent cooler install, forgot to remove the plastic on the cold plate of the cooler. Assuming you already took that off but worth checking. If this is not the cause, which motherboard are you using? If you place the cooler on the CPU without screwing it in, do you feel there is contact between the CPU IHS and the cold plate? Thermal paste won't massively improve the thermals, it's main purpose is to fill the tiny gaps to improve contact, maybe try applying a little more see if that helps fix any contact issues. The only last thing I can recommend is make sure the mounting brackets for your cooler are correctly applied and you are using the LGA 1700 bracket. If none of that helps, see if you can try another cooler if you have access to one and see if that works any better. Let us know how you get on would be great to see you getting this fixed. All the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk thank you for your response. My motherboard is msi z690 and I didn’t build my pc it was pre built but my watercolor cpu msi mag coreliquid 240r V2 has the normal two fans at the front but when I got my prebuilt pc it had two extra fans behind it I’m not sure why so I never checked it.

@@hashimohamed4511 To the best of my knowledge and checking the specs for MSI Coreliquid 240r V2, it should only have two fans by default not sure which direction they should blow in by default, though I'm guessing it might be exhaust if they are designed from factory for a preferred top mounted system. Hope that helps.
Hi, Thanks for watching. So I can't comment on the kraken x62 but I believe this is a 280mm AIO which theoretically should be better than an air cooler. Overall since we can tame the 12900k a little bit with some tweaks using the AK620 I think it should be ok with the 5900x as to the best of my knowledge this CPU should run cooler with lower TDP than 12900k, but is there any reason you want to change to air cooling? Here's a couple of links from Gamers Nexus and Hardware Canucks where they test with relatively high TDP CPU's to give you an idea of performance: ruclips.net/video/4NpTZRassHI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/UGM6FcLDckk/видео.html Hope that helps, feel free to ask anything else.
Hello, I'm thinking of switching my aio cooler to this one instead but i'm wondering if using only 1 fan will it still be effecient, i don't want it block my ram. I mostly gaming with 1 additional emulator tab, the cpu voltage is under 1.3V, the cpu power is around 70 below i rarely OC it pass 90w. My cpu is ryzen 7 5700x and i have a h500m case
Hi, Thanks for watching. Personally I think for the 5700x which has relatively low TDP I can only guess it should be fine. I say this because there is a video linked below from gamers nexus which shows that the smaller ak400 single tower single fan fairs reasonably well with a 3800x and 123w. ruclips.net/video/8NsFuNqINww/видео.html Hope that helps, feel free to ask any other questions.
My 14600k temps go up to 100 degree and the power consumption is 195 to 205 watts the cooler is ak620 i used the thermal paste it came with cooler💔 Thanks for the video
@@CryCasher Hi, Thanks for watching, yes the third fan was slightly different as it was from a different cooler but it is possible that higher CFM may have a a slight improvement and reduce temps but unfortunately I didn't have any other fans to test with, overall there wasn't a massive improvement from the fans I tested with so not sure if 2 fans vs 3 fans with higher CFM would improve temps.
my 14900k runs fine with the noctua g2 HBC with 3 fans and my case has all Noctua fans as well most Temps i see is 60s C at most when gaming don't give AF about Cinebench All i do is game on my system or net browsing/youtube etc. the noctua smokes the artic 420 LF3 AIO i had before with 6 140mm fans on it in a push pull I would spike to 90-100C while gaming.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a 12600K to test this, but considering the max turbo power of 12600K is only 150w compared to over 300W the 12900K can achieve, I believe this cooler should really have no trouble keeping the 12600K cool. The main issue with 12th Gen CPU's is that they bend once clamped into the socket and creates bad contact with the CPU. Because 12600K is much lower power, it should still be ok if we consider that the AK620 can still somewhat cool the 12900K at 241W. Hope that helps.
WOW subscribed. Thanks for the test. Conclusion so far: 1. 280w vs 240w are came out with almost same cinebench r23 score, but 240w adaptive underclock can reach 96C instead over 100C. So the fatigue and the throttling is not so frequent. [Next: Can the motherboard setting arroung 220-240w manually for the best perf per watt?, or let say we target optimum 85C, how far we can get the cinebench r23 score for curiosity? ] 2. How far it different 12900KS in 241w max vs 12900 in 202w? 3. Maybe could you compare with same price AIO deepcool L240v2, IDcooling Se207XT ADV dual fan, and cheaper dual fan ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO? Regards
Hi, Thanks for watching and I appreciate your support. As for your questions unfortunately I am not able to give you any useful information you can see my comments below for each: 1. I'm currently using an Arctic 420 in my system so if time permits I will try to see if I can test below 240w and 85C if possible. 2.

HI, Thanks for watching. Sorry I have to reply in English but I believe this cooler should be ok for 5800X3D as it has a much lower TDP than 12900K so should generally run cooler than 12900K even in stress test. I have seen reports of people using it with coolers which are smaller than AK620 and this is a very decent cooler for the price. Unfortunately, I can't test this to know exactly how good it is but hope this helps, all the best, TK :).
good job. aparently youre the only one who has decided to make a video about the ak620 running 3 fans. The way i did it was placing a noctua CHROMAX NF-A15 HS-PW in the center (center for aesthetics) this is for getting a bit more airflow around the VRMs. We i got around 2-5 Celsuis in idle and longer to reach max temp. so while gaming should be better results since the cpu only work 100% at burst moments.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Glad you found this useful and I appreciate you sharing your setup as it may help others. Seems like you got better results too, maybe because the Noctua is generally better than the AK620. The main issue I think with the 12th Gen is the contact with the cold plate on the cooler. I have noticed from my testing of AK620, Arctic LF II 280 and 420 ARGB that the thermal paste mostly gathers down the centre of the CPU probably because of the bad contact. I believe that maybe using a contact frame will give better results, but I'm not sure if this will help with my CPU as it has been bent for 9 months now :). I might still give it a try and update if I decide to do that. All the best, TK :).
@TKsTechTalk Try the thermal grizzly CPU frame and also the Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pad instead of paste. Give the pad about 30min under max load to melt and get to functional state. You will drop 5-10deg C just from pad.
i bought a similar setup after watching this video, i got a Phantom Spirit 120 SE dual tower cpu and its holding my i9 12900k alright, no thermal throttling here
no overclock, doing undervolt on a cheap motherboard, great thermal paste, the biggest help for me was buying a 7 fan pc case to help with the airflow, thanks for the info!
Good job, you give us very usefull information. Thank you 👍
Hi, Thanks for watching. Appreciate your kind comment and glad you found it useful.
aio is your best friend with this CPU, anyway nice review of the air cooler 👍
AIO def does a better job, will try to get the Arctic 280mm AIO video up as soon as possible :)
How can I buy 3rd fan
Nice test, thanks
Hi, Thanks for watching. You are most welcome and thanks for the kind comment. Glad you found it useful. I have another video comparing AK620 with Liquid Freezer II 280 ARGB, feel free to check it out. All the best, TK 🙂.
thanks for sharing man
HI, Thanks for watching, you are most welcome and glad you found it useful.
But for a normal scenario (gaming, video editing, etc) I think this air cooler will work, right?
Hi, Thanks for watching. I guess it will depend on which CPU you intend to use with this cooler, but from my testing on a 12900K if you power limit to 241W and undervolt by -0.05v it should be fine and for CPU's with TDP lower than this CPU. I don't really game so I can't comment accurately though since gaming does not use anywhere near as much CPU as stress tests it should be fine and I mainly used for video editing with the settings listed earlier and it does get a bit warm but not as hot as stress test and did not thermal throttle. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
I did buy the AK620 with BeQuiet Silent Wings 4 pro for the third fan to cool my Ryzen 7700 non-X. I think it helps quite a lot because my room gets warmer much faster and the temperature never been more than 83C while gaming, whereas it is around 74-76C while running Cinebech R23. The ambient temperature is around 31-33C.
I did adjust some power limits though
why is it hotter on gaming than cinebench? you have some p-core OC for gaming + lite load for multicore loads ?
Hi, Thanks for watching. I appreciate your input. That's an interesting result and also strange that it runs hotter in gaming than Cinebench, either the game is CPU hungry or this was a momentary spike, maybe some background process played a part or maybe even a different fan curve could help, either way seems like its performing well on your setup. All the best, TK :).
Ryzen 7700 cores do not have specified as P or E cores, so I have no idea. Not just Cinebench test was weird but this happened to CPU-Z as well. It never reached 80C in temperature while having a full load but the clock was being only around 4.9GHz and 5GHz, never got to 5.3GHz in the tests. But while gaming the clock was there at 5.3GHz in every games at 83-85C with 100% usage.
@@Sutlore007 Yeah that's a really strange result, either way at least it's not thermal throttling so your gaming experience won't be impacted.
undervolt the cpu man.
Thanks. Please make another video with AK620, but with 12700k if possible. And what is exactly, was your room temperature? Warm it's not specific.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I cannot test with a 12700k as I do not currently own one, I can only test with what I use, sorry I cannot be of help there. Also at about 3mins 34 seconds in the video I did read the temperature off my thermostat in the room which was 23.5 degrees at the time, not too hot but maybe a little warmer than most people are use to assuming cooler climate and maybe use of AC. Hope that helps. All the best, TK.
Hi I know it's a very old comment, I just bought i7 12700k is it ideal?
It is interesting, you have obtained 26900 points at 96º, I with my i7 13700 and a noctua U12A have had to lower it from 219w to 205w so that its temperature does not rise above 92º and I have obtained 27600 points, it makes it clear to me that if I change the noctua to this ak620 is not going to be able to lower its temperatures below 92º in the Cinebench stress test in each of its cores.
Hi, Thanks for watching. Firstly I appreciate you sharing your setup and temps, this could help others as well. In short I feel that the 13700 is probably just as good as 12900k but maybe very little better on thermals. You are probably correct, maybe the AK620 won't give massive gains and all these 12th and 13th gen cpus are hot. I have a 13900k currently running with Arctic 420 AIO and still just about manage to keep it around 90C by limiting power to stock TDP. It's nice to see that a U12A on 13700 can produce similar results. All the best, TK :).
I would be interested in a 1 center fan only
Hi, Thanks for watching. I do not have access to the cooler at the moment but if i get a chance I will try to check this, however against the 12900k i doubt it will be much different to what we have seen maybe only a couple of degrees warmer. The main issue with these 12th gen CPU's is the bending issue and I'm sure we will get much better temps using the contact frame. Hope that helps, all the best, TK.
@@TKsTechTalk Hi, I only have a 65W TDP 5700X to cool and I plan on unlocking the power limit and undervolt as much as possible. Will probably look at about double that power to cool.
I do not yet have all the components for this build, (planning on a completely new build and sell my whole old PC as is) and I am looking for a good cooling solution (Case / Cooler / Fans)
Cheers!
@@Costinmusca So from what I understand the 5700x is more efficient that something like the 5800x, not sure about overclocking but if you undervolt in addition to overclock I guess this cooler should be sufficient probably even with 1 fan, though its hard to say exactly how good it will be but even if you double the power will still only be 130W compared to 12900K's 241 + watts. It really is a challenge choosing the cooler, case and fans as there is just so much to choose from. Ultimately the best way to choose is price performance if we solely concentrate on value and ignore minimal performance gains for a lot more money. High air flow case as you are probably aware is the way to go for best cooling performance and a good cooler is essential, i think the AK620 is very good value for money though there are others like it. The case fans as long as they are quiet with good airflow is usually enough and best not to go overkill on exhaust fans, I would concentrate on making sure the intake is good and the case has sufficient space for intake fans. Let us know config you chose and how you get on, all the best with the build :).
@@TKsTechTalk Eventually I've settled for a Noctua NH-U12A, but still running various configurations of fans and HDD placement, just can't figure out which is the overall best solution to keep GPU/CPU and HDD all balanced out. I want my mechanical HDD to always stay cool and actively cooled while keeping both CPU and GPU around ~75 *C on full load and without interfering with each other too much.. Kinda hard since both GPU and CPU nowadays have their own power management based on how good your cooling is.. So I'd never see much difference in actual temps and on top of that it's kinda hard to keep track on the performance without a very stable environment. Also, still waiting on various gaskets/adapters/connectors for the fans in order to also get the most silent setup possible.
@@Costinmusca I think you made a good choice with the cooler, should be ok for the 5700x. As for the fans and HDD placements, I think maybe go with what's convenient as I personally feel that there may not be a big temperature difference maybe just a couple of degrees at most unless there is something blocking a lot of airflow in a smaller case. All the best with the rest of the parts and build :).
What is the size and format of the clip that you used to put the third fan?
Great video, can DeepCool AK620 coold the I9 12900K when gaming?
Thanks
Hi, Thanks for watching and sorry for the late response. Considering we are able to get somewhat REASONABLE (if you can call it that lol) cooling out of this air cooler I think for gaming it should hold up ok as these synthetic benchmarks are only good for test purposes. I still think some sort of liquid cooled option would be better but in the current build used for video editing the 12900k is doing well with the AK620 with a slight power limit applied, I would highly recommend undervolting where possible and limit power draw to 241w as it is a very minimal loss of performance. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Thank you for the detailed reply, much appreciated. Curranty I am using the AK620 with I5 12600K and its perfect, but will go with liquid for i9.
Best regards.
@@SIM0N0609 Yeah that's a good setup 12600k is definitely fine with that cooler, you know if the rumours are true about 14th Gen, hold out for 14900k (if it ends up being called that) apparently its more efficient and is rumoured to be supported on current LGA1700 z690/z790 motherboards and would be the last upgrade on this platform. If it is true and if it really is more efficient your AK620 might not need replacing and you can always test it before going liquid.
I really hope this is true will end up being a great option especially for those who opted for DDR4 like myself :).
@@TKsTechTalk Thank you Sir, that's Great news!
Hello there great job
Could you please tell me where i can get a third fan holder clip for the ak620
Hi Thanks for watching, sorry I missed this question, basically I took the fan and clip from a deep cool neptwin cooler which wasnt exactly the same but just about fit, im guessing there are probably generic fan clips which might work but I also didnt have easy access to anything so was lucky to have a deep cool cooler sitting around to test with, let us know if you managed to find one might help others too, all the best, TK :)
I was going to buy the clip from ali ex and the fan from amazon then i saw the ag 400 plus for way cheaper price and it came with 2 fan and 4 clips so I bought it 😂 the issue is my 13700 f still hit 100 c under open gl stress test i tried to re mount the cooler no luck idk my-be my cpu is hot or my cooler is bad
In cinebench i got 98 c in warm room and 92 with ac on
Hi, I bought another fk120, which is the current fan that this cooler uses. Will arrive in a few days and hopefully I will get the same results as I saw here.
HI, Thanks for watching. Yes that does seem to be the same spec fan as the on one the cooler. As you saw from my test, the third fan might give you 1 or 2 degrees cooler and it will take a little longer to reach the highest temp in sustained load. If you are using 12th gen intel (or something like 5800x with also runs hot) you can also try to undervolt which will also help a lot with temps. Let us know how you get on, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Actually, just using a i7 2600 non k. It is adjusted to turbo to 4.2 and bclk was set to 103.5 on my asus p7p68. Brings my hyper 212 to its' knees, 90 degrees on cinebench so I bought this one, which now brings temps down to a comfortable 70 degrees. Planning to upgrade in the near future though, so I will be using this as well on the new setup I will be using.
@@marlonmangubat4146 That's a great setup, looks like the cooler did a good job for your CPU. Will be interesting to see how the 3 fans works out.
@@TKsTechTalk Just received my third fk120 today, though sad (or maybe happy) to say the temps didn't go down much, maybe because my cpu is not powerful enough to heat up the cooler. Or maybe Ill need to upgrade the exhaust fan on my NR600 case as well.
@@marlonmangubat4146 fair enough that makes sense I guess, even my results show very minimal decrease if any, the exhaust fan may not make too much difference, but NR600 is a decent case. Also I think the triple fan setup maybe just helps a bit in lighter loads as its removes a tiny bit of heat.
how did you mount the 3rd fan though? what bracket did u use?
Hi, Thanks for watching. So basically I used a fan from another cooler, the Neptwin, which has the same size fan and the bracket is very similar so just fit good enough to use. Hope that helps. All the best, TK :).

@@kurkurstuff2522 Nice, I'm think that will perform better than the AK620.
@@TKsTechTalk i think it performs ok. better than my 360 aio though thats for sure
There’s not enough thermal mass that necessitates a 3rd fan. I think Deepcool has almost maxxed out the cooling potential with the 2 fans included.
I’m planning on getting a 13600k or the next gen equivalent of that, hopefully this cooler will be enough for it!
it's more than enough for the 13600k
Hi, Thanks for watching. You are right and the results show very little improvement but I did this as myself and lot of people probably think more fans equals better performance.
I think the 13600k should be fine, seen some decent results with a less capable cooler and it seems fine. All the best with the build, TK :).
@@himangshumahanta5398 do you think its also good for the 13700k ? i mainly do video editing and some gaming. thanks
@dfgoijoi It's enough for the 13700k as well. But an AIO would be better.
@@dfgoijoi It might get hot and loud if you use the CPU cores for rendering video. About 90c max at 85+ fan speeds.
This is based on a video with the ak620 + 12900k (which is basically a 13700k)
Do you think the ak620 with just the 2 fans it comes with will be able to cool an i5 13600k?
Hi, Thanks for watching. I don't have access to a 12600k or 13600k but as it has a much lower TDP than 12900k i imagine it should be fine. The link below shows a test on youtube with 1 fan on AK620 paied with 13600k and seems to do pretty well:
ruclips.net/video/-4dY4A7_hWU/видео.html
Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
Possibly it will work for you, its tdp is 181w, I have an i7 13700 with a maximum tdp of 219w but no air cooling could with it, much less an i7 13700k or i9 13900k at least in their default values in watts, I have had to lower it to 205w so that it remains stable below 92º in the stress tests or else some cores would shoot at 100º, from 181w to 205w there is room for you to keep your temperatures below 90º calmly . I have only been able to test with the high-end noctua, from what I see the ak620 is more of the same due to its results in the 12th gen. reaching 96º and with a lower score than the 13th gen i7 or i9.

Hi. Is there any difference between the Neptwin and Ak600?
Seems they’re exactly the same
Both of them have twin towers and twin fans? Did you test them out?
Hi, Thanks for watching. I actually did have a Neptwin for a little while though it moved on before I had a chance to test it with the 12900k. I think the AK620 will perform a little better than the neptwin. However on a 3600XT i saved a few degrees over the stock cooler using the Neptwin and I think from reviews the AK620 beat those results by a few more degrees. Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one but hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
The AK620 is quite a bit better than Neptwin.
You may have stated this, but did you test the difference between triple fan and stock double? And did you test with other, more CFM, fans on the cooler?
Hi, Thanks for watching. Yes as you can see from the video I tested stock 2 fans vs the 3 fan setup and there wasn't a huge improvement in temps but I did not have higher CFM fans to test with so unfortunately I can't say how much better it would be.
Hi, I have a neptwin and was thinking of upgrading to an ak620. I would really appreciate a comparative video of the 2 heatsinks you have since I can't find any reviews 🙏🏻
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I haven't got the neptwin anymore and I wasn't able to test it with the 12900k but I do believe the AK620 is probably better at cooling the higher end CPU's. I was able to keep a 5800x at under 80C with a neptwin, but the 12900k is a different beast so not sure it would do as well as the AK620. However, I would first recommend testing the neptwin with a contact frame to see how it performs as I got a big temperature drop on the 12900k with a contact frame, assuming you are using Intel that is and depends on what CPU you are using. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
Is that cooler enough for 7 5800x3d?
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately I do not have a 5800x3d to test with but I do know that this is also a hot CPU. I think for gaming it should be fine though under stress testing I wouldn't be surprised if you hit 90C with some throttling. From searching I found that Cinebench on a NHD15 can hit 90C but but under gaming manages under 70C. Hope that helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk okey, thanks for reply. I bought 7 5700x in the end, i know x3d is better, but 5800x3d and 5800x use tons of watts, and it seems 5700x will be sufficient for gaming purposes under low wattage
@@Vale-gz3mu Yes you are right, the 5700x has a much lower TDP and runs cooler. I guess it depends which GPU you use and which resolution you use if you use it for gaming. The 5800x3d will benefit with high end GPU's otherwise the 5700x is great for mid to low end GPU's.
I just want to gameplay, live stream and video edit and is Deepcool AK620 good for that? Because Cinebench is not what real life performance means. No one is going to run Cinebench 24/7 365 days, not even me.
Can you tell me how will i9 12900k + Deepcool AK620 will heat in that situation? Just gaming, twitch streaming and editing
HI, Thanks for watching. You are right these benchmark stress tests are just to test the worst case scenario and capability of the coolers. I'm not a gamer but I have seen plenty of content where tests show that the CPU runs much lower watts and therefore cooling is fine.
I do use it for video editing and the 12900k does heat up a little when doing exports though not to 100 degrees at least when using the intel power limits and i would highly recommend using the Intel power limits as the temps are better. Might even help a bit to use the contact frame especially if its a new build. I just got one and plan to do some tests with Arctic 420 AIO and will try with AK620 if i get time.
Hope this helps, all the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk Thanks for the response. Yes, your info was very helpful indeed. Of course it's my life's first ever PC so I will definitely use Intel Power Limits. Finally some relief after knowing it does run in lower watts and AK620 can handle it.

@@TKsTechTalk thanks, hope your pc will work great. Recently I learned something. In BIOS you have to do just few settings.
1. Disable MCE
2. Put your PL1 to 90 and PL2 to 90 too. That way it consumes much less power and heats much less. The alternative way will be put PL1 to 125 and PL2 to 250 or 253. Then a 3 fanned deepcool AK620 will cool it too

So please can you help
Hi, Thanks for watching. Just out of interest and I am not doubting you, but I made the mistake on a recent cooler install, forgot to remove the plastic on the cold plate of the cooler. Assuming you already took that off but worth checking.
If this is not the cause, which motherboard are you using? If you place the cooler on the CPU without screwing it in, do you feel there is contact between the CPU IHS and the cold plate? Thermal paste won't massively improve the thermals, it's main purpose is to fill the tiny gaps to improve contact, maybe try applying a little more see if that helps fix any contact issues.
The only last thing I can recommend is make sure the mounting brackets for your cooler are correctly applied and you are using the LGA 1700 bracket.
If none of that helps, see if you can try another cooler if you have access to one and see if that works any better.

Hi, Thanks for watching. So I can't comment on the kraken x62 but I believe this is a 280mm AIO which theoretically should be better than an air cooler. Overall since we can tame the 12900k a little bit with some tweaks using the AK620 I think it should be ok with the 5900x as to the best of my knowledge this CPU should run cooler with lower TDP than 12900k, but is there any reason you want to change to air cooling?
Here's a couple of links from Gamers Nexus and Hardware Canucks where they test with relatively high TDP CPU's to give you an idea of performance:

@@CryCasher Hi, Thanks for watching, yes the third fan was slightly different as it was from a different cooler but it is possible that higher CFM may have a a slight improvement and reduce temps but unfortunately I didn't have any other fans to test with, overall there wasn't a massive improvement from the fans I tested with so not sure if 2 fans vs 3 fans with higher CFM would improve temps.

use i5- 12600K - ( with & without undervolt and power limit )
Hi, Thanks for watching. Unfortunately, I do not have access to a 12600K to test this, but considering the max turbo power of 12600K is only 150w compared to over 300W the 12900K can achieve, I believe this cooler should really have no trouble keeping the 12600K cool. The main issue with 12th Gen CPU's is that they bend once clamped into the socket and creates bad contact with the CPU. Because 12600K is much lower power, it should still be ok if we consider that the AK620 can still somewhat cool the 12900K at 241W. Hope that helps.
I had to switch the original Deepcool fans to Noctua because the stock fans made this horrible ''humming'' sound at certain rpms.
WOW subscribed. Thanks for the test.
Conclusion so far:
1. 280w vs 240w are came out with almost same cinebench r23 score, but 240w adaptive underclock can reach 96C instead over 100C. So the fatigue and the throttling is not so frequent. [Next: Can the motherboard setting arroung 220-240w manually for the best perf per watt?, or let say we target optimum 85C, how far we can get the cinebench r23 score for curiosity? ]
2. How far it different 12900KS in 241w max vs 12900 in 202w?
3. Maybe could you compare with same price AIO deepcool L240v2, IDcooling Se207XT ADV dual fan, and cheaper dual fan ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO?

Hi, Thanks for watching and I appreciate your support. As for your questions unfortunately I am not able to give you any useful information you can see my comments below for each:
1. I'm currently using an Arctic 420 in my system so if time permits I will try to see if I can test below 240w and 85C if possible.
2. I do not have access to a 12900ks so cannot currently help with this. I personally own and use a 12900k that's why I was able to share my findings.
3. Again I am limited to three coolers Arctic 280, Arctic 420 and AK620, again these are items I am buying myself based on value and what I could afford to test. If I do end up trying the coolers you mentioned I will let you know.
Sorry for not being able to give you the answers you are looking for at the moment, but if you do manage to find any useful information around your questions, please do let us know, could benefit others with similar questions. All the best, TK :).
@@TKsTechTalk OK. Thank you for testing 12900K overclock using air cooler.
vale a pena esse air cooler para um 5800x3d?
HI, Thanks for watching. Sorry I have to reply in English but I believe this cooler should be ok for 5800X3D as it has a much lower TDP than 12900K so should generally run cooler than 12900K even in stress test. I have seen reports of people using it with coolers which are smaller than AK620 and this is a very decent cooler for the price. Unfortunately, I can't test this to know exactly how good it is but hope this helps, all the best, TK :).
