Verdict and Conclusion
So where does that put the Deepcool on the totem-pole? Well, not to be to harsh, but I was expecting a little more out of it. And the reason I say that isn’t really because of the cooling quality in and of itself but because an average retail price of $50-60 is rather off-putting for that level of performance. For that price, I think it’s reasonable to have a bit of higher expectations. Still, I can’t really complain … it did a better job of cooling my CPU than the Evercool Venti ever did.
This is our first ever review of a Deepcool CPU Cooler. So I have to say … it’s a job done (OK), considering what we’ve put it through. In time, I’m sure they will take our comments and improve on their products.
Pros:
- Works with all Intel and AMD sockets.
- Average cooling quality.
- Fairly easy installation.
Cons:
- Needs better fan clips.
- Pricey
Final Words. Compared to other heatsinks of this caliber…you could probably find something similar for a slightly better price. If it hadn’t been for that, I would say this is a decent addition to budget heatsink library. As it stands, however, it could be a lot worse and it’s far from the worst of its kind. It does handle the Haswell at high speeds, and it scores nicely in the aesthetics department, so if that appeals to you it might be worth it. But as I said, if you don’t like the price, I’d recommend keeping your options (instead of your wallet) open.
