Finished Looks

The AK400 avoids the usual tricks of the trade in today's market to grab your attention—there's no ARGB lighting. Instead, DeepCool delivers a clean single-tower design that is aesthetically pleasing for those desiring a less audacious CPU cooler. Only the DeepCool logo in teal stands out with the checkered pattern disappearing at a distance or behind a tinted tempered glass side panel. To be frank, the AK series of coolers definitely appeals to me, but taste is subjective. Either way, if you want a simple, tried and true cooler, the AK400 delivers.


Memory clearance is perfect with no issues to speak of, and the same can be said for the graphics card. As for case clearance, as long as your chassis can handle coolers with a height of 155 mm or more, you should have no problems to speak of.
