Seven Copper Heatpipes for High-Performance CPU Cooling

The DeepCool AK700 DIGITAL NYX uses seven copper heatpipes measuring 6mm in diameter. These heatpipes move thermal energy from the processor contact base into the tower heatsink, where it can be dispersed by the cooling fan.

Seven heatpipes provide multiple thermal pathways between the CPU base and fin stack. This helps distribute heat across a wider area of the heatsink instead of concentrating it around a smaller section of the cooler.

Precision-Machined Copper Base

The cooler uses a precision-machined copper base to make contact with the processor's integrated heat spreader. Correct contact pressure and an even layer of suitable thermal compound are essential for transferring heat from the CPU into the cooler.

The supplied mounting system is designed to apply secure and even pressure across supported Intel and AMD processor platforms. Installation instructions should be followed carefully to ensure that the correct socket hardware and mounting orientation are used.

DeepCool Core Touch Technology 2.0

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX incorporates DeepCool Core Touch Technology 2.0. Combined with the cooler's optimised tower construction, copper base and seven-heatpipe layout, this design is intended to improve thermal transfer between the processor and heatsink.

Cooling performance still depends on the complete PC configuration. Processor power consumption, ambient temperature, case airflow, thermal compound application, motherboard settings and fan control can all affect the final CPU temperature.

Matrix-Fin Single-Tower Heatsink

The signature DeepCool matrix-fin array provides a dense surface through which the cooling fan can move air. Heat transferred into the fins is carried away by the fan and released into the surrounding case airflow.

Unlike a dual-tower cooler, the AK700 DIGITAL NYX uses a streamlined single-tower layout. This can provide a balance between substantial cooling hardware and improved access around the motherboard's memory area.

Quad-Segment Digital CPU Monitoring Display

A defining feature of the AK700 DIGITAL NYX is its integrated quad-segment digital display. The display is designed to present several useful CPU measurements directly on top of the cooler.

What Does the Digital Display Show?

CPU temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit
CPU usage as the processor workload changes
CPU wattage reported through the monitoring software
CPU frequency during idle and active workloads

The displayed values are obtained through DeepCool's monitoring software. Measurements may differ slightly from values shown by motherboard utilities or third-party applications because different programs can use different sensors, polling intervals and calculation methods.

Visual Temperature Alert System

The digital module also includes a visual temperature alert system designed to make elevated CPU temperatures easier to identify. This provides a visible indication on the cooler but does not replace proper temperature monitoring, suitable fan settings or adequate case airflow.

USB 2.0 Header and Software Requirements

The digital display requires an available internal USB 2.0 motherboard header and compatible DeepCool software. This is separate from the cooler fan's normal 4-pin PWM connection.

Before ordering, check that the motherboard has:

An available internal USB 2.0 header for the digital module
An available 4-pin CPU_FAN or compatible PWM fan header
A supported Intel or AMD processor socket
Sufficient clearance around the CPU socket

If all internal USB 2.0 headers are already being used by a case controller, liquid cooler, lighting controller or another accessory, a suitable internal USB hub or alternative connection arrangement may be required.

Digital Does Not Mean RGB

The term “DIGITAL” refers to the integrated CPU monitoring display and software features. DeepCool's official specification for this model does not list RGB or ARGB illumination.

Customers specifically requiring synchronised RGB lighting should check whether a different cooler model is more appropriate.

DeepCreative Automatic Fan Control

The upgraded DeepCreative interface can monitor CPU load and automatically apply an appropriate fan-speed curve. DeepCool describes this as an AI-driven control system designed to balance cooling performance and operating noise without requiring the user to create a manual BIOS fan curve.

The automatic software function does not change the physical cooling capacity of the heatsink. Instead, it adjusts fan behaviour according to processor conditions and the selected operating mode.

Available Environmental Modes

Sleep Mode: designed for very quiet, noise-sensitive environments
Office Mode: prioritises lower noise during productivity and everyday use
Gaming Mode: balances cooling performance with fan noise
Overclocking Mode: allows more aggressive fan operation for demanding processor workloads

DeepCool lists approximate acoustic ranges of 0–20dB(A) for Sleep Mode, 20–25dB(A) for Office Mode, 25–33dB(A) for Gaming Mode and 25–40dB(A) for Overclocking Mode. Actual noise will depend on the fan speed, case construction, distance from the system and surrounding environment.

Automatic High-Temperature Response

DeepCool states that the fan can move to full speed when the CPU temperature rises above approximately 80°C and return to the selected preset behaviour after the temperature falls below that level.

This software-controlled response is designed to prioritise cooling during elevated processor temperatures. It should not be considered a substitute for correct cooler installation or adequate case ventilation.

High-Performance 120mm PWM Fan

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX includes a 120 × 120 × 25mm cooling fan capable of running at up to 2700 ±10% RPM. The 4-pin PWM connection allows the motherboard or DeepCool software to adjust the fan speed according to system conditions.

Fan Airflow and Static Pressure

Maximum airflow: 77.23 CFM
Maximum static pressure: 5.13mmAq
Maximum fan speed: 2700 ±10% RPM
Listed noise levels: 21.0 / 28.8 / 36.0dB(A)

Airflow measures the volume of air moved by the fan, while static pressure indicates its ability to push air through the dense heatsink fins. Both characteristics are important for a tower CPU cooler.

Hydro Bearing and Three-Phase Motor

The fan uses a hydro bearing and a three-phase, six-slot, four-pole motor. This design is intended to provide smooth fan operation, stable performance and controlled acoustics across the available speed range.

Fan noise will increase as rotational speed rises. During heavy CPU workloads or elevated temperatures, the cooler may become more audible as it prioritises cooling performance.

0-RPM Startup and Stop

The fan supports 0-RPM start/stop operation at PWM signals below approximately 5%. This allows the fan to stop under suitable low-load conditions, helping reduce unnecessary noise and fan operation.

Whether the fan reaches 0 RPM depends on the motherboard, software configuration, CPU temperature and selected control mode. Some motherboard BIOS settings may impose a minimum fan speed.

Activate Clearing Tech for Dust Removal

DeepCool's Activate Clearing Tech, also called ACT, is designed to help clear dust from the fan blades and heatsink. When activated within the first several seconds after the computer starts, the fan performs an automatic dust-clearing sequence.

This feature can help reduce light dust accumulation, but it does not eliminate the need for normal PC maintenance. Dust filters, case fans and the heatsink should still be inspected and cleaned periodically.

Safe Cooler Cleaning

Switch off and unplug the computer before manual cleaning
Prevent the fan from spinning freely when using compressed air
Use short, controlled bursts of suitable compressed air
Do not use a household vacuum directly on sensitive components
Do not apply liquids or household cleaner to the heatsink or display
Clean case filters regularly to maintain airflow

Improved RAM and Component Compatibility

The heatpipes are offset to accommodate the depth of the heatsink and provide more space around the motherboard's memory slots. DeepCool states that this design allows additional room for taller memory heat spreaders and keeps the RAM slots unobstructed and visible.

Exact compatibility still depends on the motherboard layout, memory-module height, fan position and surrounding components. PC builders should check all physical dimensions before installation.

Single-Tower Layout

The single-tower configuration can make the memory area easier to access than some large dual-tower coolers. This may be useful when installing or replacing RAM after the CPU cooler has been fitted.

Motherboards with unusually close memory slots, large voltage-regulator heatsinks or non-standard layouts should be measured carefully.

Intel and AMD Socket Compatibility

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX includes mounting support for the following desktop processor sockets:

Compatible Intel Sockets

Intel LGA1851
Intel LGA1700
Intel LGA1200
Intel LGA1151
Intel LGA1150
Intel LGA1155

Compatible AMD Sockets

AMD AM5
AMD AM4

Socket compatibility confirms that an appropriate mounting system is supplied. It does not guarantee that the cooler will fit every motherboard, computer case or complete PC configuration using that socket.

Check CPU Cooler Height Before Ordering

The complete AK700 DIGITAL NYX measures approximately 126 × 98 × 157mm. Your computer case must support a CPU cooler height of at least 157mm.

Allowing a small amount of additional clearance is recommended so the digital top cover does not press against the case side panel.

How to Check Case Compatibility

Find the exact make and model of the PC case.
Open the manufacturer's specification page or manual.
Locate the maximum supported CPU cooler height.
Confirm that it is at least 157mm.
Check for additional restrictions caused by side fans or internal panels.
Confirm that the case provides suitable intake and exhaust airflow.

Do not rely only on the general case size, such as ATX or micro-ATX. Cases using the same motherboard format can provide very different CPU cooler clearances.

Suitable for Gaming and Performance PCs

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX is designed for performance-focused systems where substantial air cooling, processor monitoring and modern styling are required.

Suitable Uses

Gaming desktop computers
Content-creation workstations
Video-editing and rendering systems
High-performance productivity PCs
Streaming and recording computers
Systems using unlocked or power-intensive processors
PC builds where real-time CPU information should remain visible
Users who prefer an air cooler instead of liquid cooling

DeepCool does not publish a universal processor-wattage or TDP capacity for the AK700 DIGITAL NYX on its official specification page. Cooling suitability should therefore be assessed using the exact processor, motherboard power settings, workload, case airflow and expected ambient temperature.

Air Cooling Without a Pump or Radiator

As a tower air cooler, the AK700 DIGITAL NYX does not use a water pump, coolant tubes or a radiator. Heat is carried through copper heatpipes and dissipated through the metal fin stack.

This can make it an attractive choice for users who want substantial cooling performance without installing an all-in-one liquid cooler. As with every cooling method, correct installation and regular maintenance remain important.

This manufacturer classification is not the same as a guarantee that every 280W workload will stay below a specific temperature; CPU behaviour, voltage, ambient temperature, case airflow and mounting all matter.

22. Can the AK700 DIGITAL NYX cool an AMD Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9?

It is designed for high-performance desktop processors and can suit many compatible Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 CPUs. Results depend on the exact processor, power limits, overclocking, room temperature and case airflow, so heavily tuned flagship CPUs may require careful fan and power settings.

23. Can it cool an Intel Core i7 or Core i9 processor?

It can be suitable for many supported Intel Core i7 and Core i9 processors, but modern Intel power limits can vary greatly by motherboard. Check the CPU's real package power and review the motherboard's default power settings rather than relying only on the processor's base-power label.

24. Will this cooler guarantee a specific CPU temperature?

No CPU cooler can guarantee one temperature across every build. Processor model, voltage, workload, thermal paste, mounting pressure, room temperature, case airflow, dust and fan control all influence the result.

25. Does the AK700 DIGITAL NYX provide good RAM clearance?

Yes. DeepCool uses offset heatpipes and a narrow single-tower layout to leave the RAM slots visible and provide space for tall heat spreaders. This is one of the main compatibility advantages of the design.

26. Can I use tall RGB memory with this cooler?

The offset design is intended to accommodate tall heat spreaders and avoid covering the RAM slots. Very unusual motherboard layouts can differ, so compare the cooler footprint with the board and memory dimensions when using exceptionally tall modules.

27. Will it block the first PCIe x16 graphics-card slot?

The compact single-tower footprint is designed to reduce motherboard interference, and independent testing has shown clearance on a modern ATX board. Because socket and slot spacing vary, check the exact motherboard layout if the first PCIe slot sits unusually close to the CPU socket.

28. Which direction should the fan face?

In a conventional tower build, install the fan so it pushes air through the heatsink toward the rear case exhaust. Follow the airflow arrows on the fan frame and make sure the cooler does not fight against the case's normal front-to-back airflow.

29. What size fan is included?

The cooler includes one 120 x 120 x 25mm fan. It uses a 4-pin PWM connection and a hydro bearing.

30. What is the maximum fan speed?

DeepCool lists a maximum speed of 2,700 RPM, with a tolerance of plus or minus 10 percent. The fan does not need to run at maximum speed during light workloads.

31. What airflow does the included fan provide?

The official maximum airflow rating is 77.23 CFM. Real airflow through a complete PC is affected by the heatsink, dust filters, case ventilation and fan speed.

32. What is the fan's static-pressure rating?

DeepCool lists maximum air pressure of 5.13mmAq. High static pressure helps the fan push air through the dense fin stack.

33. How noisy is the AK700 DIGITAL NYX?

DeepCool publishes fan-noise figures of 21.0, 28.8 and 36.0dB(A), with 36dB(A) representing full-speed operation. Actual perceived noise depends on distance, case panels, vibration, room noise and the selected fan mode.

34. Is the cooler quiet during everyday use?

It can be very quiet at light load because the PWM fan can slow down or stop. Under sustained heavy load, the 2,700 RPM fan becomes more audible, so a balanced DeepCreative mode or sensible custom fan curve may provide a better noise-to-temperature balance.

35. Does the AK700 DIGITAL NYX support zero-RPM fan operation?

Yes. DeepCool lists 0-RPM Startup/Stop, with the fan stopping below approximately 5 percent PWM. This reduces idle noise and unnecessary fan wear when cooling demand is low.

36. Is it normal for the CPU fan to stop at idle?

Yes, when the selected mode sends a PWM signal below the fan's stop threshold. The fan should restart when CPU load or temperature rises. If temperatures climb while the fan remains stopped, check the CPU-fan connection and control settings.

37. How is the fan connected to the motherboard?

The stock fan connects to the cooler's integrated fan lead, and the cooler's 4-pin PWM lead connects to the motherboard CPU_FAN header. This allows the motherboard or DeepCreative control system to regulate speed.

38. Should I connect the cooler to CPU_FAN or a system-fan header?

Use the motherboard CPU_FAN header unless the installation guide states otherwise. Many motherboards display a boot warning when no fan signal is detected on CPU_FAN.

39. Can I replace the supplied 120mm fan?

The included fan uses the standard 120mm size and a 4-pin PWM connection, so a physically suitable replacement may be possible. However, the stock fan is tuned for high pressure and the cooler's cable routing and software modes, so another fan may reduce performance or alter control behaviour.

40. Does the included fan have RGB or ARGB lighting?

No RGB or ARGB fan lighting is listed for this black model. Its visual feature is the digital status display on the top cover rather than illuminated fan blades.

41. Does the cooler need a 5V ARGB header?

No separate 5V ARGB connection is listed for the AK700 DIGITAL NYX. The fan uses a 4-pin PWM header and the display communicates through an internal USB 2.0 header.

42. What type of screen does the AK700 DIGITAL NYX use?

It uses a quad-segmented digital status display with a 29 x 39mm display area. It is designed to show system readings clearly rather than operate as a full-colour LCD panel.

43. What information can the digital display show?

DeepCool states that the display can monitor CPU temperature, CPU usage, CPU wattage and CPU frequency. These readings are supplied through DeepCreative software.

44. Can the display show GPU temperature or GPU usage?

GPU monitoring is not listed as an AK700 DIGITAL NYX display function. The supported readouts focus on CPU temperature, usage, power and frequency.

45. Can the display show Celsius and Fahrenheit?

Yes. DeepCool lists both Celsius and Fahrenheit display options. Select the preferred unit in the supported DeepCreative settings.

46. Does the display have a high-temperature warning?

Yes. The cooler includes a visual temperature-alert system intended to make unusually high CPU temperature easier to notice.

47. Can I upload custom pictures, logos or animated GIFs to the display?

No custom image or GIF function is advertised. This is a segmented hardware-monitoring display, not a full graphical LCD screen.

48. Does the display require an internal USB 2.0 header?

Yes. DeepCool states that the digital display requires one available internal USB 2.0 motherboard header. Check your motherboard manual if other devices such as an AIO, fan controller or case hub already use the available headers.

49. Does the display need a separate SATA power cable?

DeepCool does not list a separate SATA power requirement for the display. The display module is rated at 5V and connects through the internal USB 2.0 header, while the cooling fan uses the motherboard PWM header.

50. What can I do if my motherboard has no free USB 2.0 header?

A compatible internal USB 2.0 hub may provide additional headers, but hub compatibility and power sharing can vary. A direct motherboard connection is preferable, particularly when diagnosing detection or disconnect problems.

51. Can I connect the display cable to an external USB port?

The product is designed for an internal nine-pin USB 2.0 motherboard header. Do not force it into an external port. Any adapter solution must provide the correct internal-header pinout and should be used only with care.

52. Which software controls the AK700 DIGITAL NYX?

The cooler uses DeepCool's DeepCreative control software. Download the current release from DeepCool's official software-download centre rather than using an unknown third-party installer.

53. Which operating systems support DeepCreative?

DeepCool currently lists DeepCreative for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Operating-system support can change with later releases, so check the official download page before installation.

54. Will the display and software work on Linux or macOS?

DeepCool does not currently list Linux or macOS support for DeepCreative. Basic cooling can still operate through the motherboard's PWM fan control, but the digital display, live monitoring and AI control should not be assumed to work fully outside supported Windows versions.

55. Will the cooler still cool the CPU without DeepCreative installed?

Yes. The heatsink and PWM fan can provide normal air cooling through the motherboard fan header. DeepCreative is needed for the supported live display functions and software-controlled AI modes.

56. Does DeepCreative need to remain running for live readings?

Live monitoring requires the DeepCool service or application to access CPU sensor data. Closing or disabling it may stop the display from updating or remove software-controlled fan behaviour.

57. What does the DeepCreative AI fan control do?

DeepCreative monitors CPU load and automatically adjusts the fan curve to balance cooling and noise. It is intended to reduce the need for manual BIOS fan-curve tuning, although users can still choose motherboard control when preferred.

58. What operating modes are available in DeepCreative?

DeepCool lists Sleep, Office, Gaming and Overclocking environmental modes, plus an AI mode that balances quiet operation and performance according to load.

59. What are the approximate noise targets for the DeepCreative modes?

DeepCool describes Sleep Mode as approximately 0-20dBA, Office Mode as 20-25dBA, Gaming Mode as 25-33dBA and Overclocking Mode as 25-40dBA. These are mode targets, not guaranteed sound measurements in every PC.

60. What happens when the CPU temperature rises above 80 degrees Celsius?

In DeepCool's AI control description, the fan moves to full speed when CPU temperature exceeds 80 degrees Celsius and returns to the selected mode after temperature drops below 80 degrees. Behaviour may depend on the current software version and selected settings.

61. Can I control the fan from the motherboard BIOS instead?

Yes. The fan uses a standard 4-pin PWM connection, so the motherboard BIOS can normally control it. Avoid letting multiple applications fight over the same fan settings, and confirm which controller has priority.

62. What is Activate Clearing Tech or ACT?

ACT is DeepCool's automatic dust-clearing feature. Within the first eight seconds after power-on, the fan can briefly reverse to help clear dust from the fan blades and heatsink.

63. Why does the fan briefly spin backwards or sound unusual at startup?

A short reverse-spin sequence can be normal when ACT is enabled. It is intended to dislodge dust and should finish within the startup period before normal fan operation begins.

64. What should I check if the digital display does not turn on?

Confirm the internal USB 2.0 cable is connected correctly, install the current DeepCreative software, restart Windows and test another motherboard USB 2.0 header if available. Also check Device Manager for an unknown or failed USB device.

65. What should I do if DeepCreative says device not found?

Shut down the PC, switch off and unplug the power supply, hold the case power button for around 20-30 seconds, reconnect power and restart. If the issue remains, reseat the USB header, try another header, reinstall the official software and contact support before making physical modifications.

66. Why might the display switch off after sleep or after the PC has been running?

USB power-saving, Fast Startup, a loose header connection or a software service problem can interrupt the display. Restart DeepCreative, test with Windows USB selective suspend or Fast Startup disabled, and use a direct motherboard USB header during troubleshooting.

67. Can hardware-monitoring programs interfere with the display?

Multiple applications can sometimes compete for sensor access. If the display freezes or loses readings, temporarily close tools such as hardware monitors, motherboard suites or other cooling utilities and restart the DeepCreative service to test for a conflict.

68. What if the fan works but the digital display does not?

The cooling fan and digital display use different connections, so the fan can continue cooling even when the USB display is not detected. Check the internal USB cable and software separately while monitoring CPU temperature through the motherboard or another trusted tool.

69. Are small delays between the display and monitoring software normal?

Yes. Sensor polling, Windows scheduling and software update intervals can produce a small difference between the value shown on the cooler and another monitoring application. Large or frozen discrepancies should be investigated.

70. Does the cooler include thermal paste?

Yes. Independent bundle inspection confirms that DeepCool thermal compound is included. Use the supplied compound unless it is damaged, dried out or you prefer another suitable CPU thermal paste.

71. Does the package include mounting hardware and a screwdriver?

Yes. The bundle includes Intel and AMD mounting components, the required fasteners, an L-shaped Phillips screwdriver, thermal compound and the installation manual. Keep unused parts in case the cooler is moved to another supported platform later.

72. Is the AK700 DIGITAL NYX difficult to install?

The mounting system is designed to provide even pressure and independent reviewers describe AM5 installation as straightforward. First-time builders should still read the manual fully, identify the correct platform parts and connect both the fan and USB display cables before closing the case.

73. Do I need to remove the motherboard to install it?

That depends on the case and socket. Cases with a large rear CPU cut-out may allow installation while the board remains fitted. Otherwise, removing the motherboard can make backplate placement and even tightening safer and easier.

74. How tightly should I secure the cooler?

Tighten the spring-loaded mounting screws evenly, alternating between sides until they are securely seated. Do not use excessive force beyond the mounting system's intended stop, as uneven or extreme pressure can damage hardware.

75. How should I clean the AK700 DIGITAL NYX?

Power off and unplug the PC, hold the fan blades still and use short bursts of dry compressed air to remove dust from the fan and fin stack. Avoid liquids, household vacuums, high-pressure air at close range and allowing the fan to free-spin at excessive speed.

76. How should I clean the digital top display?

Use a clean, dry microfibre cloth with light pressure. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the display or allow liquid to enter the cable channel, fan or motherboard.

77. What warranty does the AK700 DIGITAL NYX include?

DeepCool lists a three-year limited warranty. Warranty service is subject to the manufacturer's terms, proof of purchase and regional support procedures.

78. AK700 DIGITAL NYX vs AK620 G2 DIGITAL NYX: which should I choose?

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX uses one dense tower, one 2,700 RPM fan and seven heatpipes in a 126 x 98 x 157mm body. The AK620 G2 DIGITAL NYX uses a larger dual-tower, dual-fan layout with six heatpipes and measures 127 x 144 x 159mm. Choose the AK700 for a narrower footprint, strong RAM visibility and lower height; choose the AK620 G2 when the case can accommodate its greater depth and you prefer the dual-tower design.

79. AK700 DIGITAL NYX vs AK500 DIGITAL: what is the difference?

The AK700 DIGITAL NYX is a newer seven-heatpipe, 157mm single-tower cooler with a quad-segment display, zero-RPM fan, ACT cleaning and DeepCreative AI modes. The older AK500 DIGITAL uses five heatpipes, is 160mm tall and includes ARGB strips around a simpler CPU temperature and usage display. Choose according to case clearance, display style, lighting and cooling requirements.

80. AK700 DIGITAL NYX vs a 240mm liquid cooler: which is better?

The AK700 avoids a pump, liquid and radiator placement, making it attractive for buyers who value air-cooler simplicity and long-term serviceability. A good 240mm AIO can move heat directly to a case radiator and may suit sustained high-power loads or a different visual layout, but adds pump noise, more cables and another potential wear component.

81. Who is the AK700 DIGITAL NYX best for?

It is best for PC builders who want a powerful black air cooler, a narrower single-tower footprint, clear access to tall RAM, current AM4, AM5 or mainstream Intel socket support and a visible CPU status display controlled from Windows.

82. Who is the AK700 DIGITAL NYX not suitable for?

It is not suitable for cases with less than 157mm CPU-cooler clearance, unsupported sockets such as Threadripper or LGA2066, systems without a free internal USB 2.0 header when the display is required, or users who need Linux or macOS software support, RGB fan lighting or a screen for custom pictures and GIFs.
