Review on DEEPCOOL GT BK Motherboard Supported by Chris Palmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great CPU Cooler

This is a GREAT cooler as many have mentioned. It fit in my Raidmax Zeta case with a little more mm. At first I thought it was too big because after installation it seemed taller than my case, but when I put the glass side on it stood like a glove. The RGB is pretty cool, that's one of the reasons I chose it, plus it was cheaper than the evo 212 black edition. It has great reviews and I'm here to add mine. It dropped my Ryzen 5 1400's CPU temps by about 20 degrees Celsius, which is a HUGE drop. I used an older AMD cooler, I don't think it was a standard cooler, it has brass tubes and a brass plate that resists the CPU, but temperatures peaked in the upper 60s when tested with AIDA64 and peaked after about 10 Minutes 70. With this cooler it hit 49 in about 7 minutes and I was damn happy with it. This is the first time I've played around with removing the back panel and installing a different one, but it was pretty easy with the motherboard already installed. I don't know why we can't use the same backplate that on my ASRock b450 pro is metal and the one that comes with the cooler is plastic. It seems the thread sizes should be standard, but maybe they aren't. In any case, it was easy to install, the colors are controlled by my bios, the processor is happy and now it can be overclocked.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Security
