2023 saw DeepCool become one of the best brands for air coolers, with the release of their mighty Assassin IV, which managed to topple Noctua from the performance throne in terms of cooling, acoustics and even price! Now they’re back with more variants on that theme to suit a wider range of budgets.
This slimmed model is ideal for small form factor builds.
The AK400 Digital is slim, features on of their premium fans, a subtle hint of RGB and a cool digital temperature readout on the top.
The larger AK500 Digital is much the same, but with an obviously larger heatsink it’s better suited to higher TDP processors. It’s also basically the same as the AK620, but it comes with a single fan configuration rather than a dual fan configuration.
An the AK500 Digital WH is again the same, but it comes with a gorgeous white finish and a white fan, which I think looks even better!
More cost effective solutions are the AG400 Digital ARGB and the AG400 Digital Plus. These low-profile air tower coolers feature a status LCD display on the top, four advanced copper heat pipes, and a silent hydro bearing fan, as well as some ARGB lighting too.
I like the matte finish too, the glossy AKxxx models are glossy but this looks very clean and tidy too.
While the Plus version comes with two fans and no digital readout on top, but again, it’s just very compact and stylish, and offers robust cooling for its size.
I’m a big fan of the Assassin IV, we rate is as one of the best coolers of 2023, if not that actually single best! Now it’s back but available in white, and well, it looks drop dead gorgeous.
We’ll have samples of all the new products very soon, so stay tuned for release dates, prices and performance testing on eTeknix.com.
