Tip for AM4 users: if you plan to install it without removing the motherboard, don’t unscrew both plastic holders all at once, if you do it will drop your backplate and you will have to remove the motherboard and put the backplate on before able to install the plastic+metal screws from the new cooler.
I am thankful that RUclips tutorials have increased and improved so much since the last time I built workstations. I stopped, rewound, and continued step by step through this video and it made installing my Deepcool AK620 SO much easier, both in understanding each function and comprehending how to install. Thank you so much, Mike!
Just installed this cooler as part of my first build and wow, I underestimated the amount of pressure needed to get those last two screws in! Kept turning the screwdriver and never feeling it "bite" because I was afraid to use too much pressure and risk breaking something. Rewatched this video a dozen times at the table while trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, haha. Thanks so much for this, it really helped me out.
I've built many PC's but was unfamiliar with this particular CPU Cooler. This video was so helpful and clear. Thank you so much for creating this and sharing. It made the process so simple and easy.
I remember feeling so proud the first time i mounted the cooler. Afterwards started building computers myself and never trusted someone else to do it for me.
You’re a hero. Installed this as my first ever non stock cooler from AMD and the prospect of it was stressing me out. Was struggling a bit while building but after watching this everything went smoothly and worked out great. Thank you so much for your content!
@@mikesunboxing looked up PSU wiring for about 2 hours to find someone showing (and explaining!) where why and what to install the connectors on the motherboard. i'm still not sure if i need a SATA/PATA connector as I only have 1 nvme storage card. Also, I was not aware that installing the CPU cooler first was a bad idea because i cant reach the cpu part for the connectors on the motherboard now... if it can be done wrong im the guy!
this one the most simple video YET very very very hekpful and detailed , ty so much for telling all about which side of screw to use + brackets etc etc some of this small details help a lot for ppl like me who have never done this before TY sir
My two cents from my build using this exact cooler, it's a good idea to plug your CPU cable from your PSU into your mobo before installing this cooler. I neglected to do this had an enormous amount of trouble getting my CPU power cable plugged into my mobo and instead of removing the cooler, I opted into buying a pair of needle nose plyers.
Really tempted to make a comment like “Really fantastic cool video” but done that before. So it was a Cool Fantastic video, thanks Mike. See you tonight.
Hello, greetings from the Philippines. Just messaged a customer service support from DeepCool last week, and good news is that AK620 and AK620 WH versions are AM5 motherboard ready, since the AM4 bracket accessories are compatible for AM5 versions.
Thank you, straight to the point with no guff. One thumb up. ps, you really want both fans blowing into both heatsinks. It is configurable, but won't be as good at cooling in the "suck" position.
I found the connector would not reach down to the upwards screws due to the springs being ridiculously strong. I had to take off the retention flange at the bottom and remove the pin/spring/washer in order to squeeze the springs a couple of times with a monkey wrench so that they would spring sufficiently. Once I did that it fit just fine. Many curse words were utilized while I tried to work out this solution.
I had huge problems when I came to attaching the cooler to the stand that we built up in the begging. The screws were to short and wouldn’t go down. Eventually I had to remove the bracket with the arrow and directly screw it on the fan and then attach it that way
@@skull7231haha I made this comment 2 months ago so excuse me if I get some information wrong. But when you watch the video you will notice that one of the small iron brackets have an arrow on them. These brackets are the ones that you install directly on the motherboard and from there on install the fan itself. However, for me the screws were too short so I had to install the brackets and everything directly on the fan (which I had not installed on the motherboard yet) and then from there on install the entire basis with the fan attached
@@volle.5982 How did you managed to to put the fans into the motherboard later with such a small space? Did you used a screwdriver or just tighten it with your fingers?
Thanks a lot, man. No one says what to do if the fan interferes with the installation of memory, and you said that you can rearrange it in advance. I thought about it too but doubted if it would work well in this case! Thank you.
thanks for this planning to buy it with my old b450 mortar max and too lazy to check dimensions u save me alot of time😂. have to put the fans on the rear side
Hey I’m new to pc building, I installed the cooler just as you did in the video but noticed that you didn’t use an lga 1200 or 1700 Mount/bracket on the back of the motherboard. Do I need to remove everything and install this or will it be fine on its own?
The white color variant just came out. Sigh, really wish it had come earlier to compliment with my white case. Still the cooler is fantastic. Well worth the money and pennies you paid for it.
I have a problem with the 2 mounting screws on the head sink. These are the 2 screws with the springs to provide proper tension between the heat sink and the CPU. the 2 screws do not move so the springs do not get compressed.

I'm still debating if I should get this cooler for my 3950x. It is cooled by the Snowman mt-6, but when temps will get hotter, it may not be sufficient enough as it is a single tower. The 4 cores over the 5900x, also cooled by a mt-6, really make a diffference in heat output. As of now, the 5900x is still below the 90 degrees, but the 3950x stay close to the 90, sometime more or less by a few degrees. As per AMD, the max temp is 95 before the cpu start to protect itself and since the computer is stable, I'm not too worried. But with summer coming fast over here, that might be another story!
@@ninjatall15 I was always supposed to do it after enabling PBO, but I'm lazy and let it as it.. But I will probably do it later when the weather start to get hotter.

I purchased the Ak620 cooler, but when I attach the backplate to the main board, is it compatible with the backplate used by other air coolers? Can I go ahead and install the original backplate without removing the motherboard? The cooler I used was an rc410.
Hey! Is it possible to install this cooler in a Motherboard called A320 A pro MAX by msi? Was really thinking to buy one of these but im not sure if it will fit correctly.
That defiantly is a large cooler. I really like the design of the fin stack. It's a bit overkill for my CPU's. My i5-4690k draws 88 watts. The rest max out at around 65 watts. Thanks for the review Mike and Lady Kath. Take care. Cheers

Hey, do you know where I can buy the spacers from? I removed mine and cannot find them anymore. Without a spacer I cannot mount the cooler on top of my cpu! :(
why doesn't the DeepCool put an extra AM4 backplate in the packaging. I'm upgrading the cpu cooler that came with the used pc that i bought. and it doesn't have the backplate. so now i have to order one from amazon US and wait for international shipping which will take atleast 14 days for delivery. this sucks so bad
Why would they add a bracket when 99% of people already have one that comes with the motherboard, deepcool can’t be held responsible for the motherboard not being supplied with the mounting

Hello! I ordered this cooler with these components: GPU: Gygabite RTX 4070 192-bit 12GB Windforce OC CPU: Intel i7-13700K Motherboard: Gygabite Z790 UD AX RAM: Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000 mhz 2x16GB PSU: MSI MPG A850G 850W SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB Case: Sharkoon TG6 RGB ATX Because this CPU cooler is so big and covers the RAM, I decided to buy the RAM without RGB lighting. Also my case has already 3 x 120 mm fan in front, 3 x 120 mm on top and one in the back. Those fans are RGB. Because of this I decided to buy all components without RGB and leave only the fans of the case to make the light. The GPU, of what I've seen, has only a little bit of lighting... It will look nice like this or do you consider it will be better to change before I get the components, to buy RGB RAM, the gaming version of the GPU which has cooler RGB, take out the 3 fans on the top of the case and put a liquid cooler. Please help!
@@mikesunboxing do you think is worth 165 more euros for a 4070 TI, instead of 4070? I play Fifa, GTA V, RDR 2, CS:GO, Forza Horizon. I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070. I found the Gygabite 4070 Gaming at 735 euros and the 4070 TI at 900 euros.
I installed this cooler on my 7900x cpu and im getting high idle temps around 50°c, is this normal or should i repeat the installation process to see if i screwed up somewhere?
could be mounting pressure, but 7000 series is nuts for wattage and thermals unless limited in the bios to 65w and / or undervolted or curve optimiser negative 20 or 30
I'm struggling with getting mine into my motherboard, I'm using a B660 plus WiFi d4 motherboard and for some reason brackets are to low for the cpu cooler to be installed? (I'm hoping I didn't damage the cpu or motherboard because at one point I put a lot of pressure to try and get it on)

@@mikesunboxing Thanks for responding. I noticed after looking at your video that you don't have an LCD panel, or even the magnetic mounts for one. Perhaps the design changed in the last year or perhaps there are multiple versions of the AK620. For people who have the LCD panel: What I figured out from some other videos was it needs to connect to USB-2/3 jumper for software panel control, and to the ARGB / Digital RGB (3 pin) if you want to synchronize (and it has a 2nd connector for daisy-chaining) Ex video: ruclips.net/video/5V0YIBMbj8Y/видео.html

Same here!! Idk what to do or what the problem is 😭
Great video.
Thanks!
It fits inside a Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ATX AM5 Motherboard? or its too big?
should be fine on there from what i can tell
What if the AMD4 backplate is not there anymore, due to the new backplate was for my last cooler and is different.
you need to get one somehow
Thanks, subscribed. I got a question. My ambiance is 35 degree Celsius. After installing this I'm getting 55-60 on idle. And 70-75 while gaming. Is it too much or normal?
sounds a little high but you didn't mention what CPU you have or chassis
@@mikesunboxing I'm using Cooler Master H500M case, 3700x ryzen cpu 1660 ti graphics card, 32 gb c16, 3600 hz ram.
@@iamsurajsharma 55-60C makes sense if your ambient is 35C also 70-75 is perfectly fun under load, just make sure it doesn’t go over 85C :)
@@kingfu987 Thanks for the advice. It's running great 👍.
Not sure what I did wrong but there’s a bit of clearance between the bracket and cooler and I can’t screw it in :/

Can you damage the processor if you tighten the screws too much?
it is possible i guess for LGA sockets, AM4 would be okay
if we loosen the middle screw at 6:54 will the mounting pressure become more or less ?
it won't make any difference
I purchased the Ak620 cooler, but when I attach the backplate to the main board, is it compatible with the backplate used by other air coolers? Can I go ahead and install the original backplate without removing the motherboard? The cooler I used was an rc410.
It should
Hey! Is it possible to install this cooler in a Motherboard called A320 A pro MAX by msi? Was really thinking to buy one of these but im not sure if it will fit correctly.
yes should be fine
That defiantly is a large cooler. I really like the design of the fin stack. It's a bit overkill for my CPU's. My i5-4690k draws 88 watts. The rest max out at around 65 watts. Thanks for the review Mike and Lady Kath. Take care. Cheers
yeah it is overkill for most systems to be fair, but it would keep it very cool
@@mikesunboxing I have two of the Vetroo V5's, one in black and one in white. Take care. Cheers
An air cooler? This what I waxed for? 😂
lol - hope it was worth it
@@mikesunboxing My stupid internet has been down for over a week.
How do you cable manage at the end?

Hey, do you know where I can buy the spacers from? I removed mine and cannot find them anymore. Without a spacer I cannot mount the cooler on top of my cpu! :(
i would ask deepcool support most likely they will send them out to you
Review & How to is Worthy of Support comment & a Like 🙂
Thanks William :-)
@@lorderectus1849 But i'm not the new kid 😛
Thanks for the clear explanation, gave me that final push to make the purchase 🙌
I have mine sag a little bit. I am worried if i need to tighten the screw a little bit more.
Btw, I am using i5-12600k, LGA1700 motherboard
yeah check that everything is secure
why doesn't the DeepCool put an extra AM4 backplate in the packaging. I'm upgrading the cpu cooler that came with the used pc that i bought. and it doesn't have the backplate. so now i have to order one from amazon US and wait for international shipping which will take atleast 14 days for delivery. this sucks so bad
Why would they add a bracket when 99% of people already have one that comes with the motherboard, deepcool can’t be held responsible for the motherboard not being supplied with the mounting
@@mikesunboxing understandable. but sucks for the 1% like me. now i have to wait 14 days to get a backplate.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Mike! You rock! That was so straightforward and helpful! Big thanks man!
Glad it helped!
Mint mate cheers
thanks for watching
does it have enough clearance for g.skill trident z5 series RAMs?
not sure sorry
Will this same installation guide work for AMA 5.?
Yes it will be the same process just a little easier as the backplate is fixed in AM5
Thanks so much
Will it fit with a ram having 4.4 cm clearance?
not sure what you mean there sorry
@@mikesunboxing I was that will deepcool ak620 cpu cooler fit on msi mag b550 tomahawk with rams having 4.4 cm of height without the need to set the front fan a little bit up
@@hamzagamer552 Did you try this in the end? The corsair vengeance I'm looking at has a clearence of 4.5cm / 45mm
I have four sticks of Corsair Vengeance ram, the short ones. Will this cooler clear them fine or will I have to remove a stick or two?
Also very nice video, I learn mostly by observation so the amount of detail is really helpful (:
i think you will be fine there with the low profile ram, depending on your needs and budget maybe also consider the AK400?
thanks that is very kind of you
@@mikesunboxing thought i'd give you a lil update. Got the 620, bit of a stinker getting it on but i managed lol
Doesn't interfere with the ram, was worth it (:
@@MisterDemonTC Glad you're happy with it :-) Thanks for the update
Hello! I ordered this cooler with these components:
GPU: Gygabite RTX 4070 192-bit 12GB Windforce OC
CPU: Intel i7-13700K
Motherboard: Gygabite Z790 UD AX
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 6000 mhz 2x16GB
PSU: MSI MPG A850G 850W
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO 1TB
Case: Sharkoon TG6 RGB ATX
Because this CPU cooler is so big and covers the RAM, I decided to buy the RAM without RGB lighting.
Also my case has already 3 x 120 mm fan in front, 3 x 120 mm on top and one in the back. Those fans are RGB.
Because of this I decided to buy all components without RGB and leave only the fans of the case to make the light.
The GPU, of what I've seen, has only a little bit of lighting...
It will look nice like this or do you consider it will be better to change before I get the components, to buy RGB RAM, the gaming version of the GPU which has cooler RGB, take out the 3 fans on the top of the case and put a liquid cooler.
Please help!
you are on the point there with the cooler, it might be better to go with an AIO these chips get quite hot
@@mikesunboxing do you think is worth 165 more euros for a 4070 TI, instead of 4070?
I play Fifa, GTA V, RDR 2, CS:GO, Forza Horizon. I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070.
I found the Gygabite 4070 Gaming at 735 euros and the 4070 TI at 900 euros.
I installed this cooler on my 7900x cpu and im getting high idle temps around 50°c, is this normal or should i repeat the installation process to see if i screwed up somewhere?
could be mounting pressure, but 7000 series is nuts for wattage and thermals unless limited in the bios to 65w and / or undervolted or curve optimiser negative 20 or 30
I'm struggling with getting mine into my motherboard, I'm using a B660 plus WiFi d4 motherboard and for some reason brackets are to low for the cpu cooler to be installed? (I'm hoping I didn't damage the cpu or motherboard because at one point I put a lot of pressure to try and get it on)

I just needed a lga 1700 mount which I've asked the manufacturer to send just for an update. For a first time builder I could have damaged my motherboard trying to get the other mount on without realising but luckily I stopped myself from putting to much pressure on it
@@andrewpaul6364 glad to hear they are sending you one, i was confused but then realised the ak400 comes with LGA1700 mount but the AK620 at present doesn't
What do you do for the am4 if you do not have the back plate? Do i need to buy one?
yes pretty much
@@mikesunboxingworth mentioning no? I'm triggered I didn't find out before now I got to wait 4 working days for a backplate...
@@huntelaar404 All am4 motherboards come with the backplate, if you can't find it check the box the motherboard came in.
@@novah589 Yeah duh. But I changed CPU cooler and found out on the first cooler I threw out the stock backplate thinking I wouldnt need it anymore.
@@huntelaar404 bit rich saying ‘duh’ after your smoothbrain ass decided to throw parts out.
Is the fan splitter included with the ak620?
yes it is
@@mikesunboxing thanks
Will this cooler fit in my Asus tuff x-570 wifi plus?
yes it should do, i can't see any reason it would have a problem
@@mikesunboxing Thank you good sir for taking time to respond, have a nice day.
@@noisemagician Thanks - you too 🙂
Hello sir I'm from India
I'm using AMD 3700 x with stock cooler
My GPU in 2060
Cabinet deepcool matterex 55 tempad glass
Now while playing my cpu and GPU both reaching 80+ tem after side panel glass open tem gets to 70+ what should I do i was thinking to buy deepcool AIO but i saw ur vedio now I'm confused which should i buy ak 620 or AIO
if you have the room for it the 620 as great and never a chance of pump failure or leaks, but water cooling will run a little cooler in the long run
Do you know if there is any difference in installing this on AM5?
should be pretty similar, i had the unit just before the AM5 launch so didn't have specific instructions or fitting guide
One of my mounting screws are broken. It just doesnt click in
Might need to contact support or check your mounting hardware
Nice vid..worrying it may hit the ram
What about the USB headers?
this doesn't need usb headers
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for responding. I noticed after looking at your video that you don't have an LCD panel, or even the magnetic mounts for one. Perhaps the design changed in the last year or perhaps there are multiple versions of the AK620. For people who have the LCD panel: What I figured out from some other videos was it needs to connect to USB-2/3 jumper for software panel control, and to the ARGB / Digital RGB (3 pin) if you want to synchronize (and it has a 2nd connector for daisy-chaining)
Ex video: ruclips.net/video/5V0YIBMbj8Y/видео.html
Thanks you.
Always welcome
Putting uncomfortable pressure to screw in the middle screws was kinda scary
Hi there ! Is it compatible with asus b650 plus motherboard
yes it is
