DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 V2 Blue, PC Processor Fan, 4 Heat Pipes, Fan 120 mm PWM LED Blue, Intel & AMD

I bought this to replace the stock Ryzen 5 2600x Cooler which worked but wasnt great and was also super loud under load. I also got this with a £5 dicount voucher from Amazon so it cost me £17.99 so for that price its hard to compare to many other coolers of the same style and price but I will compare it to a previous model i had on my intel i5 made by Cooler Master.The deep cool cooler comes with everything in the box, mounting to the motherboard was easy once i took the board from the case, I'm guessing this depends on your case too as some will allow you to mount this while the motherboard is still in the case, Mine didnt (aero cool case). Once the board was out I removed the old metal mounting bracket and installed the new one along with the cooler, the whole process to mount the cooler takes about 5 minutes. Thermal paste seems okay less runny compared to my Cooler Master supplies paste and there is more than enough for the coolers installation.Its quiet under load and at idle my pc just has a slight sound to it considering there are also 5 case fans in the case its nearly silent. Compared to the old Ryzen cooler which was super loud in comparison, also the fan on the Ryzen cooler would ramp up and slow down all the time which was annoying due to it beind really noticebale and you could hear it across the room getting slightly louder and quieter all the time, no such issue with the Deep Cool Cooler its silent.Deep Cool have knocked it out the park with this cooler and for the price I find it hard to find a better alternative, It performs as well if not better than my Cooler Master cooler of similar design, The mounting is far better on the Deep Cool cooler it actually attaches more securely to the mounting bracket. The temps of my CPU have dropped by around 20'c and it actually now Turbos up to 4.18GHz compared to 3.8GHz on the stock cooler. The Heatsink looks almost indentical to the Cooler Master one and build quality feels the same. Difference in price is noticeable I got a stock 120mm fan with the Cooler master with the Deep Cool I got a nice Ice blue LED Fan which really does push air through the cooler more so than the Cooler master, I did compare both and it does feel like the Deep Cool fan does push more air through. But overall im really pleased with the Deep Cool CPU cooler on the Ryzen 5 2600x its boosted the turbo clock speed, it runs cooler, looks better and is so much quieter than the stock cooler. In fact i would say its as quiet as the Cooler Master Cooler. £17.99 paid for this cooler and i feel its 100% worth the same price as the cooler master alternative. Highly recommended 10/10Oh forgot to mention the instructions are literally just pictures so if you are new to installing cpu coolers I would search YouTube for the make and model of this cooler there are a couple of installation videos that will help if you need them ;)

Good cooler for a good price

I normally make custom loops but need air cooler to test components first and for that an air cooler works perfect. Lost a screw for my old air cooler, so for this at a normal price of £23 but there being a 15% voucher on the amazon page and next day delivery made it a no brainer.Item arrived quickly and well packaged with easy to follow manual. I got it set up and running within 10 mins. Make sure to pull the protective film off the cold plate base. Also have a few screwdrivers on hand. The slight downside is the thermal paste. it comes in the same condiment package like ketchup does in your fast food place. I had thermal Grizzly Kyronuaght on hand so used a drop of that. I also suspect this shaved a couple of degrees off what I saw with the enclosed paste. Finally have a start head screwdriver on hand, will need it.Now in use, am using a intel i9 9900k, which is a fairly toasty chip. This particular one I had in the system is set to do 5.2 Ghz with 4 cores running, 5.0 Ghz with 6 cores running and 4.9 Ghz with all 8 cores running at 1.28 volts. As a result you will see in attached screenshots it showing all cores at 4.9 Ghz while in maximum peaks of 5.2 Ghz. In a fairly cool room mind (18 degrees) I was seeing ambient temps starting at around low 20's creeping up to about mid 20's. In use when testing in say cinebench, temps peaked around 80 degrees, which for an overclocked 9900k which runs hot is pretty reasonable. This is with a fairly shallow fan profile.In all for just under £20 at time of purchase, am very impressed. The Blue LED fan looks fine to me, but there is no way to turn the LED off. That said unit runs cool and quiet and works great. I did have conflict in the test setup I was using with Trident z RGB, but bare in mind was testing a mini ITX board with DIMM slots right next to the CPU socket and there being two slots it could go in. The cooler fan can be moved up and down by moving the clips anyways.

So I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 3600 and I didnt know how hot these CPUs get but thats not because of the CPU its because of the inadequate stock cooler that AMD opted for the stock cooler is good enough but I'm just too used to see my temps at around 30-35 at idle with my previous build but with the 3600 it was idling at 48-51c and thats just uncomfortable with me especially with an ambient temp of 11-13c... as you can see on my test on cinebench my CPU was going up to 89c in 3 passes but after installing this cooler it just dropped my temps down 16c less! and it now idles at 37c on my manual fan curve setting highly recommended totally trumps the hyper 212 for performance and price!my only gripe is that it doesnt comes with a spare fan clip so you can do a push pull configuration and the LED cannot be turned off maybe I will upgrade to a different fan in the future but overall its a great product!

They say water cooling is not needed for Ryzen processors. The reviews of them leaking and not being that reliable put me off. This fan has made it all worthwhile. It's cheap and makes a massive difference! Looks cool too. Its pretty muched halfed my CPU temps. Just buy it and be thankful. Also check YouTube for install guides. It really helps.

Mounting system was little tricky but, i did it. AMD4 i supposed that if I put it there it will by too high, so it is not properly push to CPU. but it is hold good and stable. Under load is little noise, but much less like I had original box CPU air cooler (5600x}. if you wanna 2 fan, another not should by problem add, on second site, if you have little crafting ability.

I'm using it with Ryzen 7 2700, not the most efficient of processor but it's keeping it cooler than the stock cooler. And it's a very good price to boot! Mounting system was easy but I did need to take the board out to fit the rear plate.

I am so happy with this fan. Fitted to my LGA1150 i7 4790K and getting stable idle temps of around 28c. Excellent value, looks great, and its so easy to fit.
