Packaging

While other companies go for bright packaging designs covered with list after list of features, DeepCool opted for simpler and cleaner packaging. Honestly, it's a nice change of pace. The front is just an image of the cooler and product name, while the left side is rather plain. The only aspect that really draws any attention is the DeepCool cyan-green line that breaks up the standard brown box.


Moving on to the back, you will find all the specifications, including fan speed, airflow, dimensions, and supported sockets. Again, all the information you need is on one panel; however, a bit unfortunate is that the light gray text is exceptionally hard to read, and it is not much better in person, either. It would be easier on the eyes if they had just stuck with black text. Finally, the right side is similar to the left in that it's plain with no information or anything else of serious note.

The foam packaging used for the cooler provides ample protection and a nice premium feel. The heatsink and both fans are safely nestled in the foam while the mounting hardware is placed securely in the smaller box as expected. While it may not impact performance, good packaging is always a bonus. After all, who wants their shiny new cooler to have bent fins and broken fan blades because their package got treated like a football. So superficial bonus points to DeepCool for not skimping out here.


Socket support is topnotch, with the AK620 supporting all mainstream Intel sockets, including LGA115x, LGA1200, LGA1700, LGA2011, and LGA2066. On the AMD side, all sockets from as far back as AM2 are supported, with only TR4 and sTRX4 being left out.
