Latest reports indicate that sanctioned Chinese PC hardware manufacturer DeepCool's products have appeared on major US online marketplaces under the brand "Shaking Tank," as revealed by YouTuber Greg Salazar on social media platform X. This comes two months after the US State Department sanctioned DeepCool for alleged business with Russian firms involved in the Ukraine conflict, barring US sales and imports of their products. Despite this, retailers like Amazon and Newegg list apparent DeepCool products under the Shaking Tank brand. These listings show product renders with the DeepCool logo blurred or removed. Fan hubs previously displaying the DeepCool emblem now show blank spaces, and product packaging has obscured identifying marks. Examples include the DeepCool AK620 and LS720 models, now advertised as ShakingTank AK620 and LS720.

The nature of this rebranding still needs to be clarified. While DeepCool adopting a new name to bypass sanctions would likely face severe legal consequences, more plausible explanations include a reseller rebranding remaining inventory or retailers clearing sanctioned stock. This situation questions trade sanctions' effectiveness and enforcement in the global marketplace, leaving consumers uncertain about DeepCool's future in the US market and potential impacts on international trade regulations.

The US Department of the Treasury on Wednesday, sanctioned 16 Chinese tech companies involved in supporting the Russian wartime economy, or supplying goods to blacklisted Russian firms, as the war in Ukraine rages on. A surprising name on this list is Beijing Deepcool Industries, the company behind the popular PC cooling, casing, and power supply brand Deepcool. A US State Department release announcing the sanctions, described Deepcool as supplying $1 million worth common high-priority items list (CHPL) goods. These are items that could directly or indirectly support the Russian war-effort in Ukraine. "BEIJING DEEPCOOL INDUSTRIES CO LTD is a PRC-based company involved in the supply of over $1 million worth of CHPL items to Russian companies, including the U.S.-designated, Russia-based AKTSIONERNOE OBSHCHESTVO TASKOM and OOO NOVYI AI TI PROEKT," the State Department release says.

Meanwhile, the executive aspect of the sanctions are handled by the Treasury Department, which restricts all transactions by US firms to the 16 newly sanctioned Chinese companies, which include Deepcool. What this means is that the US-end of Deepcool must immediately cease operations, as it cannot transact any business with its parent company in China. Sale of Deepcool product will also stop, as US residents cannot conduct any business with the company. This could also mean that the US-based subsidiary of Deepcool may not be in a position to provide aftersales support to existing customers in the country.

At Computex 2024, DeepCool showcased an array of new hardware, including air and liquid coolers for CPUs, fans, PC cases, and power supplies.

DeepCool introduced the AK620 Zero Dark Zoria, a themed variant of its popular AK620 dual fin-stack CPU cooler that it originally launched in September 2021. The cooler is themed after the fantasy RPG "Zoria: Age of Shattering" that was released in 2023. It is an official co-branding between DeepCool and Tiny Trinket Games. It features artwork from the game on the two top-plates of the fin-stacks. The rest of the trim includes a two-tone black+yellow color scheme, with yellow taking up the frames of the top-plates, and the impellers of the two included 120 mm fans; while matte black dominates the aluminium fin-stacks, much of the base, and the cooler's six 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heatpipes. There are no changes in the specs sheet of the cooler from the 2021 original, besides these aesthetic changes. CPU socket types supported include LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn't reveal pricing.

DeepCool, a leading manufacturer in PC cooling solutions, is thrilled to introduce the MYSTIQUE AIO series line of liquid coolers designed to elevate the gaming and high-performance computing experience. The MYSTIQUE AIO coolers boast customizable 2.8" TFT LCD screens, setting a new standard for aesthetics, personalization, and cooling efficiency.

The precise liquid splitter ensures efficient liquid flow, contributing to superior cooling performance.

DeepCool at the 2024 International CES unveiled two new case lines, the CH160 Digital, and the CH360. The company has, in the past, used the "Digital" moniker to refer to a little displays on its CPU coolers putting out simple info, such as temperature. That's exactly the case here, too, with the base panel of the CH160 featuring a set of 7-segment digits displaying real-time monitoring info. The CH160 is a vertical SFF case with airy mesh panels on 3 sides, along which you mount radiators, or align your graphics card, which can be as long as 305 mm, and 3 slots thick. The case also has room for a 140 mm-long ATX or SFX-L power supply. It takes a Mini-ITX case. Don't need the digital read-out? DeepCool has a regular CH160 for you.

The DeepCool CH360 is a larger Micro-ATX tower-type case, with a slight design focus on width. This is basically a shrunk down CH560 (which is meant for regular ATX motherboards). The front panel is a whole mesh, with two 140 mm intakes; the side panel is a partial mesh that allows a radiator to breathe; with two-thirds of the area being tempered glass. There are Digital and regular sub-variants of the CH360, the Digital one comes with a few 7-segment readouts in the bottom one-third of the side panel that has the mesh intake, which again, puts out real-time monitoring info.

DeepCool brought a handful innovative new cooling and case products to the 2024 International CES, and we begin our coverage with their new cooling gear. On a side note, we'd like to compliment them for only getting their new and unannounced stuff. The new Mystique and Mystique Plus AIOs retain much of the understated, minimalist, and geometric styling that DeepCool has been up to since it retired the GamerStorm brand, bringing things under its main marquee. There are actually two new AIO cooler series—Mystique and Mystique Plus. The Mystique series includes 240 mm and 360 mm radiator sizes; while the Mystique Plus is exclusively a 420 mm (for now). What also sets the two apart is the larger pump-block and display on the Mystique Plus.

The Mystique 240 and Mystique 360 come with a somewhat cubical pump-block featuring a 2.8-inch IPS LCD display with 480 x 640 pixels resolution. This can be made to display anything, or real-time monitoring. The AIO uses DeepCool's 4th Gen in-house pump design. The coolers use the company's FT12 SE fans with fluid dynamic bearings. The Mystique Plus 420 is a beast, with a larger pump-block that has a 3.4-inch 480 x 480 pixels display (which is actually of a lower res than the Mystique). The block underneath is larger, as the cooler is recommended for high-Wattage overclocked processors. As its name suggests, the cooler features a 140 mm x 420 mm radiator, with a trio of FT14 FDB fans keeping things cool.

DeepCool has unveiled a brand new cooling fan series at CES 2024—an intriguing selection of models include the high-performance FT12 and FT14 offerings. The company's engineers have designed these to be low-noise cooling solutions with excellent durability credentials. Their latest 120 mm and 140 mm models feature powerful 3-phase, 10-pole, 12-slot FOC closed-loop control motors with MQ magnets, and true high-grade fluid dynamic bearings. DeepCool is keen to highlight impressive specifications—namely (up to) 80,000 operating hours and a 5-year long limited warranty period.

The FT12's airflow performance is rated at a maximum of 79 CFM. According to the specification sheet on display at CES, the FT12 has static pressure rated at 4.2 mm/H20, while its noise level has been measured at around 29.9 dB(A). The F14's airflow also sits at 79 CFM, static pressure is 3.6 mm/H20 and noise level is similarly around the 29.9 dB(A) mark. DeepCool summarizes that the standard-sized FT fans are powerful, quiet and durable. Black or white color options were on display at the company's booth.

At the 2023 Computex, DeepCool showed off its largest all-in-one, closed-loop liquid CPU cooler to date, the LT820. This monstrosity features a 420 mm x 140 mm (3x 140 mm) radiator, along with a trio of FT14 fluid dynamic bearings 140 mm fans. It uses the same groovy cuboidal "multidimensional infinity mirror pump cap" as the company puts is, which it had debuted with the LS512 and LT720 coolers in October 2022. This uses the 4th Gen DeepCool pump-block system in its highest state of tune (for the most coolant pressure to run through the large radiator). The Cooler also includes DeepCool's anti-leak tech inside, which is basically a rubber bulb that normalizes the impact of changing ambient air-pressure on the sealed coolant loop. The LS720 SE Digital WH is a design update over the LS720 the company debuted last October. This 360 mm AIO cooler comes with an all-white aesthetic, the company's 4th Gen in-house pump-block technology, and gets its name from a 7-segment display on the pump-block that displays coolant temperature in real-time (much like the "Digital" series air-coolers by the company).

At the 2023 Computex, DeepCool showed off the Morpheus, a highly flexible ATX full-tower case that can be internally re-configured between a spacious single-chamber layout and a dual-chamber that serves up room for additional liquid-cooling gear. The way this works, is that in single-chamber mode, the motherboard tray is pushed closer to the right-side panel, with just enough crawl-space for cable routing, and a spacious motherboard tray that serves up room for a tall and thick graphics card installed conventionally (horizontally). You also get plenty of room for tall air CPU coolers. In this configuration, the bottom portion is partitioned off, and it holds the PSU and some drive bays.

In the dual-chamber mode, the motherboard tray is pushed away from the right side panel, creating a large area for elaborate DIY liquid cooling setups, and a PSU tilted sideways, while the bottom portion is absorbed into the motherboard tray. You're supposed to orient your graphics card vertically, and use liquid cooling for your CPU. In practice, this involves two sets of motherboard trays that are included with the case, and quite a bit of tool-free remodeling of the case's insides. In both modes, you get plenty of fan spots, including at least two rows of 140 mm fans.

DeepCool made a huge appearance at the 2023 Computex, beginning with a wide range of CPU air coolers it launched in the recent months. At the very top is the Assassin IV and the white Assassin IV WH, with its unmistakable cubical shape that conceals the heatsink and gives it a bold industrial look. The cooler features seven heatpipes and a combination of 120 mm and 140 mm fans. It has cooling capacity comparable to that of some mid-range AIO liquid coolers (around the 200 W-mark). The AN600 is a low-profile (40 mm-tall) C-type CPU cooler that's designed with a slimline 120 mm fan, and a top-flow design that guides some of the airflow onto the memory modules and CPU VRM. The company showed off as many as eight AK-series digital CPU cooler models, which it originally unveiled at CES this January. The "digital" in the name refers to a 7-segment display on the top plate of the heatsinks that displays CPU temperature (as measured by the cooler) in real-time.

DeepCool debuted its Assassin IV Dual Tower CPU cooler earlier this year at the CES 2023 trade show - as covered by TPU at the time - its very eye-catching design was described as looking: "like (a) big dark cube inside your case, with a shroud covering all its sheet-metal." The flagship high-performance CPU cooler seems to ready for an imminent launch, with press material and product images being released today for the Chinese market. Early impressions indicate that hardware enthusiasts are appreciative of the almost all-black monolithic aesthetic, with some folks predicting that DeepCool is going to win computer hardware product design awards.

DeepCool press material states (via translation) that its Assassin IV CPU cooler provides super silent operation while dealing with up to 280 W of heat - Intel's latest high-end Core i9 CPUs could be tamed with relative ease. The heatsink is comprised of 7 heat pipes with a dual fan attachment that includes 120 and 140 mm FDB fans - said to operate silently at high RPMs. The fans are rated at 500 - 1700 RPM, with an airflow delivery of 79.1 / 58.06 CFM in performance mode, and 63.76 / 46.75 CFM airflow for the gentler quiet mode. Deepcool's specifications indicate that these cooling fans produce less than or equal to 29.3 dB(A) noise at peak performance, and less than or equal to 22.6 dB(A) noise in quiet mode. The entire cooling solution consumes 2.88 W in performance mode.

Colorful started selling its top custom-design GeForce RTX 4070 "Ada" graphics card, the RTX 4070 Neptune OC-V. This card was announced along with Colorful's other custom-design RTX 4070 cards, but the company at the time didn't share availability details for the card. We now know that it is priced at a whopping $829.99, or a 38% premium over the $600 NVIDIA MSRP for the RTX 4070. This price puts it in the territory of custom-design GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, as well as Radeon RX 7900 XT.

What do you get for the premium? For starters, its most striking feature is its all-in-one, closed-loop liquid cooling solution. At the card's end, the cooler consists of a pump-block, with a copper base-plate pulling in heat from the memory and VRM, and transferring it onto the main block. This end of the cooler is piped to a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. From the looks of it, DeepCool is the OEM of this cooler. The PCB features a 16-pin 12VHPWR power connector, a 14+3 phase VRM, and Colorful dialed up power limits to 230 W (from 200 W). Out of the box, the card has a boost frequency of 2640 MHz, compared to 2475 MHz reference. But even so, why? Colorful prides itself in making some of the most over-the-top madcap custom-design graphics cards, because someone has to!

At CES, DeepCool unveiled its latest PX-P and PX-G line of new-generation power supplies meeting the ATX 3.0 and PCI-Express Gen 5 specifications. The PX-P series offers 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency and comes in two high-wattage variants of 1000 W and 1300 W. The PX-G, on the other hand, gives you 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency, and comes in 850 W, 1000 W, and 1200 W variants. What's common to both is that they offer one 16-pin ATX 12VHPWR connector that's capable of 600 W continuous power delivery, along with 200% excursions within the PCIe Gen 5 specs. The PX-P series PSUs offer five PCIe power connectors on the PSU's end besides the 12VHPWR, while the PX-G offers three. Each of these split out to two 6+2 pin connector's on the cable's end. The PX-P series uses a 120 mm fluid-dynamic bearing fan, while the PX-G uses 135 mm FDB fan.

DeepCool brought a pair of new all-in-one liquid CPU coolers to the 2023 International CES. These include the LT series, the LS520 series, and the new FT14 case fan. The LT series is characterized by the unique geometric shape of its pump-block, which looks like a metal cube has been peeled to reveal a more solid geometric shapes inside, thanks to an illusion created by an infinity-mirror setup. DeepCool already launched debuted the LT series in October 2022, but at CES it introduced new all-white variants.

The LS520 series "smart" AIOs feature pump-blocks with LCD displays that provide real-time monitoring of the pump-speed, base-plate- and coolant temperature. These are otherwise identical to the LS series from mid-2022. Also making its debut is the FT14, a unique 140 mm case fan with a square fan-frame, which can be made to fit 120 mm fan vents, by pulling out the four corners of the frame, to reveal an inner frame with 120 mm mounts. This could prove useful where you have a 120 mm fan vent that has room for a larger impeller.

With the latest crop of AIO liquid coolers getting some smarts such as displays on the pump-block that put out real-time monitoring information, DeepCool figured why not extend this to air coolers? The new Digital series air CPU coolers by DeepCool come with LCD displays that put out real-time monitoring information such as CPU temperature (as measured at the base-plate), and fan speed.

These are essentially upgrades to the company's aluminium fin tower-type CPU coolers with top-plates that have the display and some electronics, instead of what should normally be a die-cast aluminium plate with some optional lighting. Shown at CES were at least four models with a single fin-stack (type-U) design of various sizes, and one dual fin-stack (type-D) design. All of these have a glossy piano-black acrylic top-plate that's framed by an ARGB diffuser. The LCD segment display is somewhere toward the center. The electronics work independently, but you'll need a 4-pin PWM connection for the fan(s), which also power the electronics; and 3-pin ARGB for the lighting.

DeepCool brought a wealth of new PC cooling and casing solutions to the 2023 International CES, and one of the new stuff that caught our eye is their new Assassin IV CPU cooler. When installed, this looks like big dark cube inside your case, with a shroud covering all its sheet-metal. A large aluminium fin-stack heatsink is concealed inside the shroud, to which heat is fed by seven 6 mm-thick heatpipes. A combination of 140 mm and 120 mm fluid-dynamic bearing fans ventilate the heatsink. The cooler is capable of handling thermal loads of up to 280 W, and can match up to 240 mm AIO coolers, so you can even run the top Zen 4 or Rocket Lake processors. In more ways than one, the Assassin IV tries to match the aesthetic of NVIDIA's Founders Edition cards as shown in the example build below.

DeepCool, a global brand and manufacturer of computer hardware and peripherals for enthusiasts, announces that it will provide free-of-charge mounting kits for AMD's upcoming AM5 platform, enabling customers to continue using their existing DeepCool CPU coolers on the newest generation AMD CPUs (LGA1718). Additionally, current and future DeepCool coolers will also include the new mounting hardware where necessary.

The new processor will have a new IHS design, and will feature support for DDR5 RAM and PCI-E 5.0. The AM5 socket will utilize the same mounting pattern as the AM4 socket, but there is a slight variance in the height of the installed processor. Due to the slight variance, some DeepCool coolers will need to utilize upgraded mounting hardware. To help with the transition, DeepCool is releasing mounting upgrade kits that will be compatible with AM5 socket. These kits will feature hardware associated for the socket and include components required to perform the installation.
