This year is slowly but inevitably coming to an end, but I have managed to prepare one more article for you. Today we’re going to veer away from high-end and premium coolers the size of wardrobes to small coolers, which unfortunately I’ve never paid as much attention to as they probably deserve. So today we’re going to take a closer look at DeepCool’s AN600 low profile cooler, which is particularly suited to HTPC or SFF builds due to its size.

Why is there a missing value in the cooler chart? Either because the cooler could no longer handle the load in the specified mode, or because the fan could not be slowed down to the required level, typically the mode with the lowest noise level. Then there are cases for which we did not test the cooler at 125 W at all (and the graphs only show the results of the higher thermal load, 210 W). This refers to “optional” cooler configurations with a modified fan setup that is different from the factory one (for example, having one fan instead of two, or having completely different fans mounted on the heatsink of the cooler).
