DeepCool AK500 Air CPU Cooler Review

While I appreciate the levels of performance which can be achieved with an AIO solution, I would freely concede that I’ll always take personal preference for air CPU coolers. They’re simpler, easier to live with, and with the only maintenance being a little spring cleaning every now and then, they can easily perform for many many years without ever developing even the mildest of issues. – And this is not to mention, of course, that a high-quality air cooler can easily compete with many 240mm and even 360mm AIO liquid cooling solutions.

With this in mind, therefore, for this review, we take a closer look at the newly released DeepCool AK500. A brand new high-performance air cooler offers strong levels of cooling while still holding an exceptionally wallet-friendly price tag!

The DeepCool AK500 might on the surface seem like a fairly straightforward proposition. And there’s a good reason for that because it is. – There is no ARGB lighting and no overly complicated features. This is a straight-up air CPU cooler looking to offer strong levels of performance while also offering a genuinely attractive aesthetic. – In terms of understanding, this is as simple as it gets, and let me make it clear, I’m not complaining. I love it!

Offering full compatibility for all major Intel and AMD sockets (including LGA1200 and AM5) the DeepCool AK500 takes a no-nonsense approach by simply promising you high levels of cooling performance. – If you want something strong, sleek, stylish, and affordable, this could very well be it!
