The zero dark is 160mm according to Deepcool, the 216 allows upto 181mm of room. So the case won't pose a problem, it might conflict with your RAM sticks though depending on chosen parts. Answer from Nephalem84 on reddit.com

r/bapcsalescanada on Reddit: [Fans] DeepCool AK620 Zero Dark and AK620 ($79/$74) [Amazon]
February 3, 2023 - Deepcool loves to pump out new products or iterations and are pretty quick to get them out. ... Any chance you've got a link to more info? I've been wanting an LED display cooler for purely frivolous reasons for a bit now. ... Thanks OP! Got the AK620 for $75 since I prefer the metallic look over the Zero Dark.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Should I buy DEEPCOOL AK620 Zero Dark?
October 24, 2022 -

I recently bought a R5 5600X CPU. I want to switch to a silent high performance cooler. I've seen the reviews about dual tower coolers and ended up locking on AK620 from Deep Cool. The question is should I get the normal one or spend 5$ more for the black one that recently launched (Zero Dark)? Still no reviews about the Zero Dark.

I've seen some videos that the black edition of NH D15 from Noctua is 2~3° hotter than the normal NH D15.

October 2, 2022 -

I want to buy this for my build R7 5800x, the Deepcool Zero dark AK620 Air cooler. Usage is for Gaming and coding purposes. I couldn't find any reviews about the latest edition of ak620, but a local seller here suggested this. Noctua is out of my budget and hence asking for suggestions if this is not the best product I am looking for. Thank you.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Deepcool AK620 on i7 13700K
December 2, 2022 -

Hey reddit !

I'm finally trying to upgrade from i5 6600K and MSI GTX 1060 6G to i7-13700k and RX 6950 XT in a BeQuiet 500DX case, and my biggest hesitation at the moment is the Air Cooler. (I don't plan to use AIO in the near future). I've read for hours online on this topic and still can't decide.

I have opted for DeepCool AK620 for cooling this i7-13700K, but I'm not sure this will keep it as cool as it needs in the long run. So I'm hesitating getting Noctua NH-D15. I don't plan to upgrade for the next 5 years or so except the GPU.

  • the Core i7-13700K has a TDP of 125–253W,

  • the DC AK620 (up to 1850 RPM) says it can cool up to 260W TDP.

  • the Noctua NH-D15 (up to 1500RPM) TDP can cool up to around 220W TDP (not official).

I'm usually using the PC for graphic design, gaming and learning 3D. Some occasional video editing. No streaming, no recording. I don't plan to overclock at all (got the K version of CPU because it was the only one available). This will run at the moment on a 2560x1080 Ultra Wide (75Hz) monitor but will switch in the near future to a 1440p one.

My big question, would DeepCool AK620 would be enough? Or should I go pick Noctua NH-D15?

Please share your experience or your knowledge. Thanks in advance.

r/Deepcool on Reddit: AK620 Zero Dark front fan not spinning
July 10, 2023 -

I’ve noticed that my front CPU cooler fan never spins, the second fan behind it spins perfectly fine, but the front one never does. Everything is plugged in correctly and am a bit confused why it isn’t working. I even tried manually setting my fans to 100% and still doesn’t do anything, is this normal?

November 24, 2022 - The ag620 is missing the heatsink covers and the ARGB fans are slightly lower performance, but yeah they use the same actual heatsink. You also seem to get more stuff in the box with the AK620, screwdriver and the thermal paste is in a reusable container. ... Ugh... Why can't the zero dark be on sale too 😭

r/hardware on Reddit: [GN] Air Coolers Are Getting Impressive: Deepcool AK620 Cooler Review
March 21, 2022 - After trying a Gammax Pro & seeing some early reviews of the AK620 I've been recommending it for the great performance & value since it's launch & it's amazing how often people would reference GN's air cooler reviews & not give much weight to the AK620 numbers being put up by other sites so they would still pick more expensive air & miss out on some huge value. Here in Philippines Noctua & Scythe competition runs $20-50 higher & I'm sure we arent the only place, glad Steve finally had the chance to give Deepcool another look.
