DEEPCOOL AN400 BK Low-profile CPU Cooler 1x 92mm Fan, 4-heatpipe low-profile air cooler Support Intel LGA 1851/ 1700 / 1200 / 1151 / 1150 / 1155, AMD AM4 AM5

I got this cooler as it was the only low-profile cooler in stock, and it couldn't have been worse. The studs on the AM5 brackets stick to far out the back of the mother board and don't let you screw in the motherboard (at least in the fractal terra). I had to grind them shorter to make it fit. The stock fan is absolutely horrible, extremely loud and it doesn't cool well. I had to buy the Noctua NF-A9 (which is a great fan) to replace it and get some better temps and noise. It claims to have 150W of TDP which is just a lie. My 7600x thermal throttled heavily during any demanding multi-core workload.

It claims to have 150W of TDP which is just a lie. My 7600x thermal throttled heavily during any demanding multi-core workload. Only after upgrading the fan and undervolting my cpu could I get somewhat reasanoble temperatures. I would recomend just waiting for any other low-profile cooler.

I used this cooler for my 2U server in a setup with slightly shorter motherboard standoffs, and unfortunately, it proved to be a significant mistake. The mounting legs of the cooler are excessively long, requiring modification with pliers to reduce them to a workable length. Initially, I assumed this issue was unique to my specific configuration and refrained from leaving a review. However, after discovering that another user experienced the same problem, I feel it is necessary to caution others.

This cooler is not suitable as a low-profile solution. Beyond the impractical mounting design—which features lengthy legs that extend through the motherboard to the backplate—it also delivers inadequate cooling performance. Using Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste, I conducted a 10-minute stress test on a CPU with a TDP of just 65W. Disappointingly, temperatures exceeded 90°C during this short period, indicating subpar thermal management.

In summary, I strongly advise against purchasing this cooler. Its design flaws and poor performance make it unsuitable for any use case. For those seeking a low-profile cooling solution, I recommend considering a higher-quality aftermarket cooler, the standard stock cooler, or an alternative option purchased online. The hassle of attempting to make this cooler work is simply not worth your time or money.
