Product Showcase CPU Cooler

DeepCool has altered the package style of its goods, which I believe is pretty beautiful and practical. All of the information is printed on the paperboard surface of the cardboard box.

Even under harsh overclocking conditions, the heatsink design with six high-performance copper heat pipes ensures maximum performance, while the top-flow design ensures optimal cooling not just for the CPU but also for the motherboard components in close proximity to it. Deepcool gives mounting hardware running up-to LGA 2066 with this bigger part, which tells much about what it expects.

The cooler is rated to withstand a 224W total power draw (TDP) load and is fully compatible with RAM. Other upgrades include a set of clips for mounting a second cooling fan on the back, a larger syringe of thermal compound, a long L-shaped #2 Phillips screwdriver, and a resistor wire that could be used to slow the fan speed when using the cooler on a motherboard that does not support fan control.

By soldering on a copper base plate, the AK500's base is made a bit smoother than the typical direct-contact design. On one side of the AM5/AM4 standoffs, there is a plastic spacer to protect the surface of the motherboard: No matter if the standoffs are AM5/AM4, LGA2066/LGA2011, or LGA 1700/1200/115x, they all have two brackets on top.

thethe square hole just behind the middle of the heat sink lines up with one of the two factory-installed mounting screws, it makes sense that DeepCool chose to include such a long screwdriver with this cooler. When the fan is taken off, at least we can see the front screw well.
