Key Specifications

Premium Compatibility for Modern Systems

The AK400 ZERO DARK supports the latest Intel and AMD platforms, making it ideal for users building or upgrading mainstream PCs. Its compact tower design fits most ATX cases while delivering up to 220W of heat dissipation – perfect for mid-range gaming rigs and content creation workstations that need reliable cooling without excessive bulk.

Advanced Heat Dissipation Technology

Four direct-touch copper heat pipes efficiently draw heat away from your processor, while the unique matrix array fin design maximises surface area for rapid heat dissipation. This configuration ensures consistent thermal performance even under sustained loads, keeping your CPU at optimal temperatures during intensive tasks.

Silent Operation with FDB Fan

The 120mm Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan operates at speeds between 500-1850 RPM, generating up to 66.47 CFM of airflow with minimal noise. The FDB technology provides smooth, quiet operation and extended lifespan compared to standard bearing types. At maximum speed, noise remains at just 29dB – quieter than a whisper in a quiet room.

Simple and Secure Installation

DeepCool’s improved mounting system makes installation straightforward with a sturdy all-metal bracket and five-step process. The universal mounting kit supports multiple Intel and AMD sockets right out of the box, eliminating compatibility concerns for most modern builds.
