Product Information

Full details

The DeepCool AK400 WH is a white, air CPU cooler designed for mainstream systems seeking a balance of performance and quiet operation. It excels at dissipating up to 220W of heat with its four direct-touch copper heat pipes and a unique matrix fin design, all managed by a low-noise Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan. A potential caveat for some users might be its compatibility with extremely compact PC cases due to its tower design.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the TDP rating of the DeepCool AK400 WH?

The DeepCool AK400 WH is rated to dissipate up to 220W of thermal design power (TDP).

What type of fan bearing does it use?

It uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) for quiet operation and longevity.

Does the AK400 WH come with thermal paste?

The cooler typically comes with pre-applied thermal paste on the base, or a small tube of thermal paste is included for application.

What Intel and AMD sockets are supported?

It supports Intel LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 1150, LGA 1155, and AMD Socket AM4.

What are the physical dimensions of the cooler?

The cooler has a width of 127 mm, a depth of 97 mm, and a height of 152 mm.

How loud is the fan at maximum speed?

The noise level at maximum speed is rated at 29 dB.

Is this cooler suitable for overclocking?

While it offers good performance for its class, it is primarily designed for mainstream systems. For aggressive overclocking, a higher-end cooler or liquid cooling solution might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Cooler is making unusual noise

Check if the fan blades are obstructed. Ensure the fan is securely mounted and the cable is properly connected. If noise persists, the fan bearing may be worn, and the fan may need replacement.

CPU temperatures are too high

Verify the cooler is securely mounted with even pressure. Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly. Check that the fan is spinning and properly connected to the CPU_FAN header. Confirm the cooler is compatible with your CPU and motherboard.

Difficulty installing the cooler

Refer to the step-by-step installation guide and ensure you are using the correct mounting hardware for your specific CPU socket. Double-check that all clips and screws are properly engaged.

RAM or VRM heatsinks are obstructing installation

Try rotating the cooler slightly or adjusting the fan's vertical position if possible. In some cases, RAM modules with very tall heat spreaders may need to be moved to different slots or replaced with lower-profile modules.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat dissipation for its class (220W TDP).
  • Quiet operation thanks to the FDB fan and PWM control.
  • Easy and secure installation process.
  • Broad compatibility with modern Intel and AMD platforms.
  • Attractive white design for aesthetic builds.

Cons

  • Tower cooler design may limit compatibility with very small form factor (SFF) cases.
  • Maximum fan speed can reach up to 29 dB, which might be noticeable in extremely quiet environments.
  • Relies on a single heatsink tower, potentially less effective than dual-tower designs for extreme overclocking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation:

  1. Ensure your motherboard is compatible with the AK400 WH (see supported sockets).
  2. Attach the appropriate mounting brackets to the motherboard using the provided screws.
  3. Apply thermal paste to the CPU (a pre-applied layer or a small amount).
  4. Carefully align the cooler's base plate over the CPU and secure it using the mounting mechanism.
  5. Connect the fan's 4-pin connector to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard.

Compatibility:

  • Intel Sockets: LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 1150, LGA 1155
  • AMD Sockets: AM4
  • Dimensions: Radiator width: 12 cm, height: 15.2 cm, depth: 4.5 cm. Fan dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25 mm. Overall cooler dimensions: 127 mm (Width) x 97 mm (Depth) x 152 mm (Height).

Care Instructions:

  • Periodically clean the heatsink fins and fan blades to ensure optimal airflow and heat dissipation. Use compressed air or a soft brush.
  • Ensure the fan is spinning correctly. If the fan stops, turn off the system immediately and check the connection or consider replacing the fan.
