Full details

The DeepCool AK400 Digital WH is designed for PC builders seeking efficient and quiet cooling with a modern aesthetic. Its key benefit is real-time CPU monitoring via a digital display and effective heat dissipation, with a potential caveat being the need for a USB 2.0 header for the display functionality. This air cooler features a white tower heatsink with four direct-touch copper heat pipes, a 120mm PWM fan with FDB, and integrated ARGB lighting, all contributing to its premium look and performance.

FAQs

What CPU sockets is the DeepCool AK400 Digital WH compatible with?

It supports Intel LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 1150, LGA 1155, and AMD AM5, AM4 sockets.

Do I need a USB 2.0 header for the digital display?

Yes, the digital status display requires a connection to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard to function and be controlled via the software.

How do I control the ARGB lighting?

The ARGB lighting can be controlled through the dedicated DeepCool application, which connects via the cooler's USB 2.0 header. Ensure the 3-pin ARGB cable is also connected.

What is the maximum fan speed and noise level?

The fan operates at a maximum speed of 1850 RPM and produces a maximum noise level of 28 dB(A).

Is the thermal paste pre-applied?

No, thermal paste is not pre-applied. A tube of thermal paste is included in the package, which you will need to apply manually during installation.

What are the dimensions of the cooler?

The cooler measures 126 mm in depth, 97 mm in width, and 156 mm in height.

Can I install a second fan on this cooler?

The AK400 Digital WH comes with one fan. While it features a heatsink design that could potentially accommodate a second fan, it is not included or officially supported for dual-fan configurations out of the box.

Troubleshooting

Digital display not showing information

Ensure the USB 2.0 cable is securely connected to both the cooler and an active USB 2.0 header on the motherboard. Verify that the DeepCool application is installed and running.

Fan is not spinning

Check that the 4-pin fan connector is properly seated on the CPU_FAN header. Ensure PWM control is enabled in your motherboard's BIOS settings and that the fan is not obstructed.

Cooler is making unusual noise

Confirm that the fan is securely mounted and not vibrating against any components. Check for any obstructions in the fan's path. If the noise persists, the fan bearing might be faulty.

CPU temperatures are high

Verify that thermal paste was applied correctly and evenly. Ensure the cooler is securely mounted to the CPU. Clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan. Check that the fan is spinning at an adequate speed under load.

ARGB lighting not working

Ensure the 3-pin ARGB cable is correctly connected to a compatible ARGB header on the motherboard. Install or run the DeepCool application to manage lighting effects.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Real-time CPU temperature and usage monitoring via digital display.
  • Effective cooling performance for mainstream CPUs with four heat pipes.
  • Quiet operation due to the FDB fan and PWM control.
  • Aesthetically pleasing all-white design with ARGB lighting.
  • Simple and secure installation process.

Cons

  • Requires an available USB 2.0 header for the digital display functionality.
  • Maximum fan speed might be limiting for extreme overclocking scenarios.
  • The digital display adds a component that could be a point of failure.
  • May not fit in very compact Small Form Factor (SFF) cases due to its height.

  3. Apply Thermal Paste: Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the CPU.
  4. Install Cooler: Carefully align the heatsink over the CPU and secure it using the provided screws and bracket.
  5. Connect Fan: Connect the 4-pin PWM fan cable to the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard and the 3-pin ARGB cable to a compatible header.
  6. Connect Display: Connect the USB 2.0 cable from the cooler to an available USB 2.0 header on your motherboard.
  7. Install Software: Download and install the DeepCool application to control the digital display and ARGB lighting.
