DeepCool debuts 2nd Gen AK and AK Digital CPU coolers

The DeepCool AK series of CPU coolers impressed us quite a bit. Now, the company is preparing the next generation of AK coolers, expanding the lineup with a new range of options, offering four, five or six heatpipes depending on the model. Second Gen AK DIGITAL CPU coolers are also on the way, offering users a digital display on top of the cooler for convenient system stat monitoring.

The AK400, AK500, and AK620 G2 models headline the standard second‑generation lineup. Each cooler is built around DeepCool’s updated Core Touch Technology (CTT 2.0) and a refined tower design that improves thermal efficiency while reducing overall size compared to the first generation. Depending on the model, users can choose between four, five, or six heat pipes, ensuring a solution for a wide range of system requirements.

DeepCool has retained the AK series’ hallmark matrix fin stack and precision‑engineered copper base, while introducing new fans designed for both performance and quiet operation. These fans use hydraulic bearings and a three‑phase, six‑slot, four‑pole motor, with PWM speeds up to 2000 RPM. They also support 0‑RPM startup to minimise noise during light workloads, and feature Activate Clearing Tech (ACT), which automatically spins dust off the blades and heatsink during power‑on.

Aesthetic touches include a distinctive wood‑grain top cover and optional matrix‑style decals, giving builders a chance to personalize their systems. Installation has also been streamlined with a durable all‑metal mounting bracket compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms. The flagship AK620 G2 adds an offset mounting solution to improve RAM clearance.

Alongside the standard models, DeepCool is introducing the AK G2 DIGITAL NYX series, which adds advanced monitoring and control features to the equation. These coolers incorporate the same CTT 2.0 technology, heat pipe configurations, and matrix fin design, but stand out with a quad‑segmented digital display built into the top cover. The display provides real‑time readouts of CPU temperature, usage, wattage, and frequency, making it ideal for those tinkering with their hardware via overclocking or undervolting.

The DIGITAL NYX models also integrate with upgraded DeepCreative software, enabling AI‑driven cooling profiles that automatically balance performance and acoustics. Users can select from tailored modes such as Sleep, Office, Gaming, and Overclocking, or allow the software to dynamically adjust fan behavior.

Like the standard G2 models, the DIGITAL NYX coolers use newly designed fans with 0‑RPM startup, ACT dust clearing, and quiet hydraulic bearings. Installation remains straightforward thanks to the robust mounting system, with the AK620 G2 DIGITAL NYX again offering offset mounting for improved RAM compatibility.

The AK G2 DIGITAL NYX series will be available exclusively in black, with three models covering four, five, and six‑pipe configurations. Pricing is set at €49.99 for the AK400 G2 DIGITAL NYX, €59.99 for the AK500 G2 DIGITAL NYX, and €74.99 for the AK620 G2 DIGITAL NYX, with availability in the EU beginning January 6th, 2026. The standard edition AK G2 models will also be available in January, in both black and white colour options, priced at €39.99 for the AK400 G2, going up to €49.99 for the AK500 G2 and €69.99 for the AK620 G2.
