DeepCool Unveils the AK G2 CPU Cooler Series, Mixing Wood Grain with Next-Gen Tech

DeepCool has just lifted the lid on the AK G2 CPU cooler series, which aims to improve on the already popular AK lineup by blending top-notch performance with a striking new aesthetic. This new range isn’t just about shifting heat; it introduces some neat tech innovations and a unique wood-grain top cover that gives your PC build a more organic, stylish flair.

AK G2

The AK G2 series comes in configurations with four, five, or six heat pipes, meaning there’s an option for everything from a modest system to a high-end gaming rig. DeepCool has packed in its latest tech to squeeze out more cooling power, making the G2 slightly smaller but more efficient than its predecessor.

Key to this improved performance is the inclusion of DeepCool’s Core Touch Technology (CTT 2.0), along with an optimised tower design. This helps ensure rapid and effective heat transfer from your CPU, so your chip can stay cool even when you push it hard. The series maintains the Proven AK Design legacy, featuring precision-engineered copper bases and the signature matrix fin design for efficient heat dissipation.

Key Features at a Glance:

• Next-level thermal control via CTT 2.0 technology and an optimised tower.
• Activate Clearing Tech (ACT), which automatically removes dust from the blades and heatsink upon power-on.
• 0-RPM Startup PWM fans for silent operation under light loads.
• Top cover with wood grain pattern for a distinctive look.
• Matrix fin stack and full metal mounting bracket.
• Offset mounting solution (For AK620 G2 only) for improved RAM clearance.

High-Performance Fan with Low Noise

The fans in the AK G2 are also getting an upgrade. They now feature high-quality hydraulic bearings and a more robust three-phase, six-slot, four-pole motor designed for smooth and quiet operation.

For those who value silence, the fans offer a dynamic PWM range up to 2000 RPM and support 0-RPM Startup/Stop, meaning they won’t spin up until they absolutely need to, minimising noise and extending the overall lifespan.

Perhaps the coolest feature is the Activate Clearing Tech (ACT). This nifty function automatically removes dust from the fan blades and heatsink within just eight seconds of turning on your PC, helping to keep your cooler performing at its best with minimal maintenance.

Design and Mounting

For builders wanting their rig to stand out, the AK G2 definitely delivers. The distinctive wood-grain top cover adds a touch of organic texture, and if that’s not enough, there’s an included matrix-style decal for further personalisation.

DeepCool has also focused on making installation a breeze. The durable mounting bracket ensures a sturdy, hassle-free installation on both Intel and AMD platforms. For the flagship AK620 G2, they’ve included an offset mounting solution specifically designed to enhance RAM clearance and multi-platform compatibility, making it easier to fit those bigger memory sticks.

What We Think

DeepCool is onto a winner here. The AK series was already a top contender in the air cooling space, and the G2 iteration manages to pack in tangible performance improvements and genuinely useful features like the ACT dust-clearing technology. Air coolers can often look a bit boring, but the wood-grain top cover is a bold and refreshing choice that will certainly appeal to system builders looking for something a bit different and stylish. The range of options across the AK400, AK500, and AK620 G2 models means there’s a great cooler here for almost any budget and system requirement.

Availability and Pricing

The AK G2 series will be available in both black and white editions and will be hitting the shelves in the UK and the EU on January 6th, 2026.

MSRP for the AK G2 series is as follows:

• AK400 G2 (WH): €39.99
