DeepCool AK620 WH High-Performance Air CPU Cooler Review

Exterior Packaging

The AK620 WH continues to utilise the new packaging and branding style DeepCool first introduced last year. While a clear focus has been placed on making it more cost-effective, it does still manage to pull off a surprisingly attractive aesthetic. It does prove that, in the right hands, you can cut costs while still making a product boxwork capable of standing out from the pack!

While the front gives you a nice large image of the CPU cooler, the rear is a little disappointing in terms of its rather limited information and not very easy on the eye grey on white text. No, there wasn’t a huge amount of room to work with here, but if you want a deep dive into the technical specifications, you might need to put your glasses on.

Accessories!

Perhaps surprisingly for an air cooler, you are not mobbed with different parts to accommodate all of the different socket types. The components are well organised, and, overall, do seem to indicate a fairly simplistic installation process. – In some nice additions, you are provided with a pretty generous quantity of thermal compound, a splitter cable to accommodate the two fans, as well as a screwdriver to ‘help’ you fit the CPU cooler onto your system (more on these latter two aspects in the ‘installation’ part of this review).
