Product Showcase – the packaging

Product showcase – the packaging
The entire package weighs almost 10 kg, and it’s relatively small. With cut-outs on the side, there were no problems with handling it all. It’s a simple, brown box. The specs are listed on the side of the pack. And what is awaiting us inside the box?
The chassis is nicely protected with Styrofoam, and that definitely helped during shipping. There’s also a plastic bag to prevent scratches or fingerprints.
No damage occurred in transport, and the tempered glass panel was all good. As for the chassis itself, the Deepcool CL500 has a rather attractive look at first glance. It’s a mid-size chassis, measuring 473 x 226 x 519 mm (L x W x H) which amounts to a total of 55.48l, and that’s a rather big number for this type of chassis (the Macube 310 had about 45 liters).
Inside, you’ll find a user guide, cable ties, case screws and metal bits (for child protection), and some foam pads. Let’s proceed to the evaluation of the exterior.
Deepcool AS500 PLUS CPU Cooler Review
We review the Deepcool AS500 PLUS. This dual fan-based CPU cooler absolutely impresses in looks, features as well as performance. It's easily tagged as a high-end performing air-cooler with low nois...
Deepcool AK400 air cooler review
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool; it’s an AK400. The AK400 is from the same family as the AK620 (a dual-tower cooler). The previous product of this type (air cooler) covered was the AS500, tested back at the end of 2020. It was so good (it earned the “Approved” award) that it stayed as a part of the chassis test suite. This time around, it’s also a single tower design cooler, with a four heat pipe tower layout, a unique matrix fin design, and a high-performance FDB fan that should provide excellent heat dissipation and low noise levels.
Deepcool CK560 chassis review
This time, we’re checking out the Deepcool CK560, an airflow-oriented mid-sized ATX tower PC chassis. I had an almost instant deja-vu when I saw the first materials about it. Why’s that? It looks almost exactly the same as the other Deepcool (previously also named GamerStorm) product, I mean the CG560, which I had in my hands for a review. Well, the front panel looks a bit different, but that’s not a significant change. Let’s check the other things as well.
Deepcool PQ1000M (1000W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the new Deepcool PQ1000M power supply on our test bench. The company is rather known for making the chassis, coolers, or fans, but two power supplies were already covered on guru3d. The first one was the DQ750-M back in 2018, a 750 Watt unit with an 80 Plus Gold certificate that earned the “Recommended” award. The second one was the DQ850-M-V2L which was reviewed in 2020, bringing, for example, the 10-year warranty (instead of 5-years), but on the other side – it was rather noisy in low-mid load. Another two years have passed (coincidence?), and the next unit from Deepcool is in our hands, again with more wattage (it looks like a rule).
