The process of installation is described in the included manual, but you can also find it on Deepcool’s website.

Mounting this kit on a socket 115x platform is much like with any other All-In-One product. First up is the backplate.

The NZXT H700 has a big cut-out for CPU cooling, so there was no need to pull the motherboard out to install the backplate. The nuts need to be aligned with the holes in the board. Next up is the mounting bracket that needs to be secured by a total of four screws.

Give the CPU some thermal paste (I prefer Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut), and….

The last step is to secure the pump/block on standoff screws with four nuts. You will need to use a Phillips screwdriver, and tighten the screws diagonally. After that, connect the cables like the block’s power wire to the CPU FAN header and you should be ready to go. Of course don’t forget to plug the RGB wires into the controller or the RGB header and provide it with “juice” via a SATA cable.
The pressure of the block is more than sufficient. The tubing is quite flexible, and allows for adjustments of its position. Another positive aspect is that there are not so many cables sticking out from the pump like, for example, the NZXT Kraken.

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.
