Deepcool AK500 Digital Black (R-AK500-BKADMN-G)

Single-tower cooler with a 120mm fan, featuring a digital display on the top cover and customizable ARGB lighting. The model is part of the Deepcool AK product line, which includes quality tower coolers with a maximum TDP from 180 to 260 W, aimed at cooling mid-range and advanced-level processors. Compared to the junior model AG400 Digital Plus, the AK500 Digital Black comes with an additional heat pipe and slightly lower noise, offering improved cooling for more demanding processors, although the exact TDP is not specified by the manufacturer.

The main feature of the Deepcool AK500 Digital is the monochrome display which shows the temperature or CPU load in real-time. The display connects via a USB 2.0 port, and control is through the Deepcool Digital application. The cooler's design includes five heat pipes without direct contact, a radiator with a condensed fin stack, and an active 120mm fan with a hydrodynamic bearing, operating in the range of 500 – 1850 RPM with PWM control.

The maximum airflow reaches 68.99 CFM, which is an average figure for single-tower coolers, and the static pressure of 2.19 mm H2O ensures stable radiator performance under load. The noise level at peak speeds is 28 dB, which is lower than many counterparts with similar specifications due to the optimized bearing and blades. The ARGB lighting is compatible with major control ecosystems from ASUS, MSI, ASRock, and Gigabyte. The manufacturer claims support for all current AMD sockets (AM4, AM5) and Intel (LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and earlier).
