I've been an Electrician and PC Hobbyist both for over 23 years and this is the first video where I've seen what myself and my coworkers call the CAD advantage technique where he explains by reversing the thread a turn you hear the screw click the screws designers actually angle the thread start so that it clicks louder in some types loved hearing this detail great vid thanks!
thanks appreciate the comment
Also a electrician, did that all my life, every tine I installed a screw 😀
i'm mounting my first pc and was having trouble with this cooler. Thank you for your help, it was an excelent and clear guide. You got yourself a new subscriber, take care!

Amazing budget cooler. I recently bought i5 12400 and with stock cooler in cinebench R23 test my temps were hitting 100c on most of the cores. After installing this cooler and testing in cinebench my temps were averaging on 50c with max one of the core hitting 64c. These are amazing temps for a budget air cooler.
thanks Mandar, and that sounds like a massive improvement, thanks for sharing your experiences
Deepcool has really been doing some great things with air cooling in the past couple of years. Great brand just like ID-COOLING.
yeah deepcool have been on the up
Is it Xmas ??? 2 videos from Mike in one day 😲 thank you very much 😀
How to is Worthy of Support comment & a Like 🙂
Happy holidays! thought i would get the review and install guide out on day one so if someone is considering buying one they can see how easy it is to install
@@mikesunboxing Thank's Santa Mike 🤣
@@lorderectus1849 lol!
Thank you sir for the detailed walkthrough of the process. My 5600x was overheating so I picked one of these I had no idea which parts were for which MB type.
thanks for watching and commenting
Whats your temps
@@Ethan7_7 95C was the highest under load when I played Sons of the Forest.
first time doing this so thank you for such a detailed guide! i picked up this exact same model
Hope you enjoy it!
It looks half decent tbh i use AIO s at the min but if i was building a budget PC or a PC to sell on i would consider something like this
yeah next time you build one give it a go
The new Deepcool stuff has really been great in the last couple years, I have the AS500 myself and it's a great unit. 👍
I appreciate your video! I installed mine on a R5 3600 in just a few minutes.
I can see this being a popular kewler especially given the ease of how it can be installed. Nice one Mike and Kath :-)
It sure is!
I know of only 1 person who pronounces it "kewler" on UA-cam Bobo....
@@PapaMav I was never that good at spelling
Well, that looks like it was much easier than my Cooler Master air cooler.
Nice easy to follow guide.
Thank you - hope t helps
Yeah, it is much easier than my old Hyper 212!!!!
No come on...it can't be that easy to install!? 😆 That's the right size cooler I could stand behind. Just the right amount of cooling capacity for the CPU's I have. Generally between 35 and 65 watts. Probably cool higher wattage CPU's as well?. I'm thinking up to 95 watts? Great review as always from the Dynamic Duo. Take care guys. Cheers
Exactly! so easy to use and install, makes my life easier to recommend these
Thank you sir. Bought this cooler to replace my stock one and this was perfect.
Glad it helped
Not an AMD user at present but gave it a LIKE anywho.
Thanks James :-)
just ordered this cooler to be paired with my r5 5600! thank you for the detailed review and installation
Hope you enjoy it!
Looks great and straight forward to install! Win win! Thanks for sharing Mike and Kath👍
thanks Nick
Got this cooler today and followed your instructions.
It works great.
Thank you.
thanks for watching
By far I've watched 2/2 videos from u and they both have helped. Thank you
Great to hear! hope you stick around
Bro exactly what I needed, thank you so much. Every question I had was answered.
glad to help
I got the deepcool ak400 zero dark plus for my AMD4 Processor, And When I Was setting it up I was very confused when there were bags of different screws, Spacers and some other stuff. I had the right spacers but the wrong Screws and for some reason the AMD screw ones didn't came in with the Orange Spacers but in their own bag. So I grabbed the Screws for INTEL because that's the first one I saw when I was looking for them and the AMD Screws were hidden next to my keyboard. I was struggling for about an hour because the screw just goes deep down and won't screw in. Was about to give up until I watched an video and saw the screws were looking different and I was like "Wait a min there were another set of screws!" And Finally everything else worked out and got it to work and I'm glad I got it and saw the video too lol. I was kinda paranoid when I first got the package and setting it up because I never switched an Cooler and I didn't want to break anything but yeah.
Nice video, I know it was uploaded a year ago, but this helped me understand how to install it. I have a Stock AM4 cooler for my Ryzen 5 3600 and Idle Temps are around 45-50s, in game it is at 80-85.
Glad it helped
Excellent Installation tutorial! Thank you for taking the time to create this helpful tutorial!
gonna use this guide when installing my ak400. thank you
thanks for watching
Just ordered that cooler. Nice job.
Hope you enjoy it!
That video is a blessing! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Good job.. Cooler install is the job I hate the most when building computers.. I may hire you... 🤔
i am cheap, ask bob
@@mikesunboxing if you come with free shipping, then we may have a deal...
Very helpful! The same steps applies to AM5 motherboard 👍
Hey thanks for this. You helped with my install.
glad to help
I got this today hopefully its good
it is a pretty decent cooler
Are this heatsink would fit to Intel CPU motherboards as well? I remember that I used similar heatsink on Intel CPU motherboard but made by Polish brand SilentiumPC. Now I also use AM4 socket motherboard but my heatsink is designed especially for AMD sockets, so it fits perfectly.
yes it will fit a wide range of processor sockets, but this install guide is just for the AM4 platform
Thanks! I appreciate the help!
Thanks for the straightforward instructions... I'm planning to upgrade the stock ryzen 5 1600 Heat sink, do you think this one could be a good option for it? Thanks again.
Yes, definitely
Great video, man! But I was wondering if I could install the cooler with the motherboard already installed?
Yes you can!
@mikesunboxing Thank you!
Thank you so much. Saved me a return
Glad it helped
Thanks worked a treat
Thanks you saved my build
Glad I could help
Good day, Sir. Really love your channel and your technical approach towards pc components. I currently have this on my ryzen 5 5600g. I am planning to upgrade to ryzen 7 5700x and wanted to find out, would this be sufficient to to cool down 8 cores? If not, what would you recommend as a decent cpu cooler for a ryzen 7 5700x? Much gratitude and more power to your channel, Sir!
thanks appreciate the comment and yes this will be fine for that extra load
@@mikesunboxing thank you for the feedback, Sir! Happy unboxing!
Thank you, it was a great tutorial
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Very helpful video.
glad it helped
2:03 what spacers are they? Trying to install this particular cooler on this particular socket and I have the ones in black that say "1700" on them. It does screw in but the bracket is completely loose when they are screwed all the way in. And they dont go onto the backplate firmly as in your video, so the only thing I can think of is the wrong type of spacers..
i was using the am4 ones
I have a similar deep cool fan can I apply it on the other side of the cooler itself?
it's the DEEP COOL FK1203
i don't see why not
My smart self sprayed WAYYY to much thermal paste and the cpu is running hot now I guess is time to clean and reset
yeah that might help
Dope vid bro. 🔥
Can the Deepcool AK400 cool an i5 12600k? not overclocking.
Yes it will
My 2 screws after the thermal paste just spins in place, did I do something wrong?
post some pics of it on the discord , if you haven't figured it out yet
nice vid ty, mine came with a tiny crack down the middle between the two center heatpipes. Should I return it or?
You should really but see what the temps are like, if it doesn’t effect it line with it
@@mikesunboxing they are 56-66 on an i7 4790k (4 cores)
Just installed mine, is the fan an intake fan or an exhaust fan? The instructions and this video I'm pretty sure have it installed as an intake fan, but would it be better to install it as an exhaust fan on the other side?
try them both and see which works best for your system
I have the cooler but no mounting kit, where can I buy a mounting kit for am4 cpu?
i would get in touch with deepcool via social media that is usually the fastest way to get a response or spare parts
can you also show how to install in intel motherboard too?
i'll see what i can do
Hey!would you recommend this for the new intel i5 13400F or should I go for AK620? What will be the max temps under load?
even with the might silentium pc fortis 5 my 13500 is 20c idle 80c under load so expect similar or higher results
can you flip the fan to be an exhaust flow?
yes if you like you can do that
Full disclaimer im new to PC building. My intel mobo doesnt have a backplate it just has open holes for the cpu cooler. Would I just need to use the same size as the screws lock nuts with a washer for the silver plate to screw into with the standoffs?
the screws and fittings for the intel mounting are included in the box and labelled
I'm going to use this for my ryzen 5 5600 and B550m DS3H. does raising the cooler using the bracket increases the height of the cooler?
not really no
Should that fan be on the side facing the back of th tower, or the front, or doens't matter? Mine is currently facing to the front. I've been having GPU heating issues, and was trying to rule things out.
normally the cpu cooler should be in the direction of the general airflow path of the case fans and try and go with that
@@mikesunboxing Can a PSU with not enough juice cause it too? The LEDs on my fan blink occasionally. If i'm working (Adobe software) , occasionally one of the monitors blacks out for a couple seconds. And I've had my headphone bluetooth adapter turn itself off. So I assume I need a stronger PSU anyways. Just wondering if it can also cause overheating if not enough power is going everywhere.
I wanna ask is the plastic cover for the pre applied thermal compound is big? or is just like sheet? Thanks
thin plastic
Hi, may I know if it can be fit in the darkflash dlm21 mesh? It's a matx case. Great review.
supports cpu coolers up to 160mm so should be okay
been wondering if that top plate doesn't give problems to some motherboards, I mean its kinda huge.
would it fit perfectly with Asus A320m-K and Asus tuf b450 pro ii?
it should do, it is designed not to overlap the official AMD keep out zones
I bought this fan a couple months ago and it works absolutely amazing, but I bought it for my brother, we have the exact same set up, same motherboard, same backplate, everything. I got mine installed in minutes, but when I got my brothers fan it only came with the black intel spacers, not the orange spacers. What can I do?
reach out to deepcool or return the product to the seller
Can I add any 120mm argb fans to it???
yes you can if you want to
Have you tested these with 1 vs 2 fans? I'd be interested to see if there was much difference.
2 fans lowers the temp 1-3c so not really worth doing unless you have a system that is really needing it
@@mikesunboxing Thanks for that 😎.
I plan to fit it to an Asus x99-s running an i7 5930k inside a limited edition white Bequiet Dark base pro 900 case.
Hello
I need a suggestion
Deepcool gamemax 400 V2 vs AK400 vs deepcool gamemax 400pro for and ryzen 5600x
which one is good?
both are excellent choices
@@mikesunboxing Thank You
ok I have 3 option
And I just buy deepcool gamemax 400 v2
Was that a good purchase?
And how much time I can play any game relentlessly?
Kindly reply
Thanks in advance
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Does this support the newer AM4 bracket considering AMD changed their bracket halfway through AM4's generation?
yes it does, but i wasn't aware of any change to AM4 brackets?
I brought a pre-built cooler with stock cooler and plan to upgrade to this. When installing do i need to remove the motherboard first or can install in inside the case?
should be okay in the case if you have a decent sized case, you didn't mention what case it was so i can't be sure, but you should be fine
It's a mid tower case also thanks.
For adding additional fan how should it face?
same direction as the original one
Mike, do I plug the cable of the fan onto the CPU fan header?
yes that is right
Should I use this thermal paste included or Arctic silver 5
either is fine, use what you have, thermal grizzly seems to be a good improvement if you are shopping around
This doesn’t work for me. My back plate prongs seem to big. Any tips?
This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/XtBTGQ6BDu

Is it normal for it to be a little droopy? I'm already his designer
yes until the screws are tight
Hi i am currently installing the cooler, but when i put the orange bolts on the backplate is a little lose, is this normal?
yes there is a little wiggle room
the plastic cover on the base is the hard plastic one right? not a thin film or anything?
it might be a film or plastic, they change the manufacturing sometimes, so could be either
@@mikesunboxing but in your case?
i didnt see anything like film on mine but a while after screwing in the cooler i suddenly got worried
Does it have to be really tight until the cooler screw stops spinning? I am scared af because that kinda concerns me if my mobo-cpu breaks with that
yes it should be until the thread stops, assuming that it is installed correctly
@@mikesunboxing holy smokes, thank you for replying even with this quite old vid of yurs.
I see now, well I just did 3 and a half turns in both sides in the actual cooler installation.
hi bro. would installation be harder to do with the mobo already set inside the case or is it better to install fan first and then put it in the case? i have parts for my pc but the fan will take 5 more days to arrive so im thinking i could use the stock cooler till then?
It is very easy to install even if your motherboard is already inside the case. The fan is blocking the screw hole so you will need to install the fan at the end. It takes 2 sec to install the fan so I wouldn't worry about that. Hope that helps
@@tdmdchannel2339 thank you!!
out of the case is always going to be easier but either way is doable
What is the difference between dc ag400 and dc ak400? And can I install this cooler while the motherboard is inside case?
colours and rgb, and yes can be mounted with the motherboard in the case
@@mikesunboxing okay thanks 👍
I ordered this too, but it won't fit my am3 processor. I think it says it is compatible with am3 on amazon. 😔
yeah it won't fit AM3 or AM3+ that is a typo i guess
@@mikesunboxing deepcool gammaxx gte v2 is it suitable for amd fx9370, is there a 220 watt tdp value or do you have a suggestion for fx9370
Do u think this cooler is sufficient for i7 13700F? Im tight on budget.
Possible with some undervolting
is this compatible with my old fm2+ motherboard?
the backplate could be a problem with the spacing so no AM3 of FM socket compatibility sorry
Hello man, is this cooler will be enough with 5700x in games ? Like to have under 75 degrees
yes it will do well
Mate how difficult it is to install a fan if the motherboard is already in the case, it's my first time to try installing a fan and it's quiet daunting.
if the case is flat on the desk it is a lot easier and make sure your case gives access to the rear section where the back plate is and it should be reasonably easy to do
how do you get the lights to turn on
sorry i don't understand
This is a bit of a late comment, but do you in your opinions think the Pre Applied Thermal paste is sufficient enough?
What is the height of this cooler?
155mm
@@mikesunboxing can i add any 120mm argb fan to it????
best air cooler for ryzen 7 5800x
Ag500 maybe
Does stock thermal paste do the job?
yeah it isn't bad
Does it come with a 2nd pair of fan clips to add a second fan?
no sorry it doesnt
Prob a dumb question but is that a standard fan clip that a scythe or NH u12a would use?
I am just right before insstalling it but as I see cooler came already with thermal paste on cooler so i dont need to put it on cpu right ? please fast answer ??? :DDD
Oh sorry i watched video again you was talking about it and showed ... I am doing this for the first time new cpu and cooler so sorry if i am too excited here ...:D Thank you good sir !! :) subscribed ;)
thanks for the sub, hope your build is going well
How would this hold up with a i5-13600k?
should be fine
Hi would this be able to fit in the thermaltake versa h18 case? the cpu cooler height limitation is 155 mm and the deepcool ak400 is also 155mm tall so im a bit worried if it can fit with the side panel installed. Also would i be able to install this cooler with the motherboard and everything else already in the case with ease? replacing it with amd stock cooler
might be tight depending on slight motherboard variances
I have the thermaltake versa h18 too and it fits! There's about 1-2cm space between the side panel and the cooler.
@@s5079282 Thanks for the info 🙂
@@s5079282 yep already installed the cooler and it fits with just enough space
Is it compatible with Thermalright SST?
not sure sorry i don't know much about that part to answer with any authority
is the 4 orange spacer are included in ak400?
should be unless they changed the design
@@mikesunboxing thanks for the tut i installed mine today 😀
Is it similar as the AG400 in terms of installation?
not sure sorry but would think so
@@mikesunboxing thank you for the reply your videos are very useful.
@@drakata27 Glad they help 🙂
Hmmm it appears I installed my heatsink upside down. So I also had the fan facing the wrong way. Hopefully fixing this fixes the funny sound it's been making
hope it does
Is this process the same for lga 1700?
similar but a little different due to the backplate
Is this compatible with am5?
yes it is
Hey Mike is this cooler any good for a R7 5700x?
yes it is
@@mikesunboxing Thanks buddy. You are one of 3 tech UA-camrs I trust, keep up the great work :D

Would it fit in small case?
depends on the case dimensions

maybe this or the id cooling se214xt
Is It a good cooler for Ryzen 5 5600G??
yes it will do very well
How cool can I keep a 5900x with this cooler?
it will do a pretty good job, i would apply a lower voltage to the CPU as well so it can do even better
