Verdict
DeepCool AK500S
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A sensible budget trim of the AK500 line for builders who don't need the display and want to save a few dollars.
NZXT X63
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid 280mm cooling with NZXT's signature look, best for cases sized for 280mm rather than 360mm radiators.
