Deepcool’s latest lineup of CPU coolers are designed to appeal to the system builder on a tight budget and the AG400 comes in at an astounding $24.99 USD, but does it get the job done?
In just a word, yes. While the performance figures for the thermal results aren’t mindblowing – this single tower CPU cooler (which could well be the cheapest component in any build) isn’t designed to ascend to the top of the cooling or acoustics leaderboard. AG400 did trail behind other coolers we have tested but it’s important to realise the category this cooler slots into and that it is really designed as an alternative to the stock AMD/Intel cooler, with the added bonus of an RGB cooling fan.
Installing the cooler into our system was a breeze, though we would have liked to see the initial stages of the process a bit easier. The backplate and standoffs which attach can be tricky to fix in place due to clearance, but apart from that, it does not take long to get up and running with this cooler.
Wanting a basic CPU cooler for your next build? AG400 costs a mere $24.99 and delivers reasonable performance!
