The AK2000

Jetart have released an external cooling module before, which they sent out to reviewers to get their feedback. Jetart work closely with their partners and they took the critics their first unit created and came back with the AK2000. Let’s have a look at the new specs:

External module

Fan

AC Pump

• AK2000 external module: 1 set
• Metal bracket: 1 pc
• Screw for metal bracket: 1 pc
• Fasten loop: 6 pcs
• Silicone water pipes: 2 pcs
• Power adapter: 1 pc
• Thermal sensor: 1 pc
• Thermal sensor sticker: 1 pc
• Thermal grease: 1 pc
• Instruction manual: 1 pc

The differences between this unit and the previous attempt - the AK1000 – are mainly to do with the power of the pump. Essentially, this pump has an extra 20 litre/hr flow rate and 30cm lift under its belt.

Another difference is the accessory set that you get. With the previous model you got a water block and a refill bottle. Jetart have done away with this strategy this time, and allowed the external module to be sold separately. This means that you can buy a better compatible water block if needs be. You could even upgrade your old AK1000 for an AK2000.

Other than the changes explained above, the unit is exactly the same, including the aesthetics of the unit.

Jetart were kind enough to send a universal CPU water block, and a universal GPU water block along with the AK2000 for the review. I will be testing both.

I took apart the AK2000 to check out what was actually inside. I found that the fan; a YS-Tech FD129225HB is actually rated as 58.5 CFM and 40dBA. This shows that there is a fair old wind tunnel being made blowing through the radiator. Even though the fan is a 92mm model, the radiator is 80mm wide meaning that some of the air pushed by the fan is wasted.
