In the growing SFF segment, Deepcool is entering a flat cooler with a TDP of 180 watts. With a maximum height of 67 millimeters, the AN600’s low-profile format also fits into compact, low-volume housings. Part of the trick is the fan.
In order to be able to dissipate 180 watts, Deepcool relies on six C-shaped heat pipes that are embedded in a copper base. This is to distribute heat more evenly. A flat 120 mm fan with a depth of 15 mm is used on the fin block, which is 10 mm flatter than a standard fan. Without a fan, the pure heat sink is only 52 mm high.
The model used can be operated via a PWM control signal between 500 and 1,850 rpm. The maximum throughput is 104 m³/h, and Deepcool specifies the volume – without specifying test parameters and comparative values – at around 24 dBA. With the help of an included low-noise adapter, the maximum speed can be limited to 1,250 rpm. The throughput drops to 70.1 m³/h, the volume to below 20 dBA according to the manufacturer. Vibrations are reduced by four rubber pads on the corners of the fan frame.

Because the fins hang far above the processor, RAM modules with a maximum height of 40 mm can be used. CPUs are cooled on mid-range platforms from Intel and AMD. These are the sockets LGA 1700, 1200 and the 115x series, as well as AM4 and AM5.
Price, size and performance in the middle
The cooler should be available in stores “soon”, Deepcool does not give any more precise information. The recommended price is around 50 euros. This means that the cooler is in the middle of the range in terms of size and price. It is particularly compact, if not cheaper, with Noctua’s NH-L9a or the be quiet! Pure Rock LP with a height of less than 45 millimeters, but which remain in the two-digit TDP. Between the lowest end of the SFF class and the AN600 there are models like the Jonsbo HP-400 with four heat pipes, which costs around 30 euros, and above that are the Noctua NH-C14S or be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2, which are noticeably more expensive.
