DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm Single Tower CPU Air Cooler (Black)

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm arrives in the market with thermal paste already attached to its base. The pre-applied thermal paste on the cooler base helps users achieve easy installation and ensures the cooler maintains proper contact with the CPU for effective heat removal. Typical users find the pre-applied paste on the cooler sufficient for their needs.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm features design elements that work to minimize noise. The 120mm fan adopts a fluid dynamic bearing that produces less noise than sleeve bearings during operation. The fan operates at a low volume during operation at reduced RPMs. Despite being quiet at normal operations the fan noise grows louder when the system demands higher performance because the fan rotates at faster speeds for CPU cooling.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm operates as a single-tower ventilating unit. Single-tower cooling systems function well for regular CPUs by providing effective temperature management within a reasonable device dimension. The larger design of dual-tower coolers makes them necessary for high-performance processors but they provide superior cooling abilities.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm fan operates between 500 RPM and 1700 RPM at its rotational speed. The fan automatically switches between quiet operations at low speeds while the CPU runs lightly and activates higher speeds to maximize cooling performance. The fan adjusts its speed automatically depending on the CPU temperature measurements.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm measures 127mm in width and 97mm in depth with a height of 158mm. Its dimensions classify this cooler as a medium-sized component which can easily install in typical PC enclosures. You should verify your case's clearance specifications before installing this cooler especially the height clearance for the CPU cooler component.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm fan operates through PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) control. The speed regulation of PWM fans exceeds that of DC fans because they use Pulse Width Modulation technology. The PWM technology enables automatic fan speed adjustments according to CPU temperature which results in quieter operation and superior cooling during required periods.

The TDP rating for the DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm fan reaches 240W. The product design enables it to manage CPUs that release heat up to 240 watts. The TDP rating indicates this product can effectively cool CPUs that operate at high performance levels.

This DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm operates effectively for CPUs which generate up to 240W of thermal energy. A CPU cooler should dissipate all heat produced by the CPU when its TDP rating reaches 240W. The TDP value marks the maximum CPU heat output your DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm should handle for proper cooling operation.

The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm operates as an air cooler since it lacks a radiator component. Heatsinks combined with fans serve as the heat dissipation method in air coolers instead of liquid coolers' radiator system. The DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm uses its aluminum heatsink with fins together with the 120mm fan to manage CPU cooling.

Users with mainstream CPUs as well as those needing moderate to high cooling performance will find the DEEPCOOL AK500 120mm to be a suitable cooler. The product delivers powerful cooling performance within its compact size and operates quietly. This product suits users seeking a combination of effective cooling capabilities alongside quiet operation and economical cost.
