It's obvious you cannot rotate the display physically as they are designed to align with the heat pipes. And there's no evidence of the software being able to rotate the display.

This means you can't use this for rotated motherboards (ie: Thermaltake Tower 100), or horizontally placed motherboards. (Like many mATX cases)

That's a point I had failed to consider. You're probably right, but I'll double check and see if it is possible to change the display's orientation.

My bottom-line is simply that Deepcool should have produced a cooler that is 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the competition and saving the cost in simply adding more blink which of course is much more cost effective and profitable. Thus offering me a 1%-2% cooling degree advantage over the others at this time around is not the way to go for my money! I want more "bang for the buck!" Is this too much to ask for?

You don't have to buy the cooler with the bling - a "barebones" version of the AK620 is still available for a cheaper price.

Minor points: it should be made clear that the digital display requires that you have an empty usb 2.0 socket available on your motherboard. And since it has 2 fans a more valid comparison would have been to the full Noctua D-15 with 2 fans rather than the 15S single fan model.

I have the Deepcool AK500 digital great cooler not as good as the NH-U12S even when using the Noctua's fans in a push pull config ..

but kept my 7800x3d at about 85c in cinebench r23 all core..

You do indeed need the spare usb 2.0 and a ARGB plug

software is really non existent in the sense there is nothing to play around with so you cant rotate the temp for rotated motherboards you just install it and it auto opens in back ground on start up and shows the temps

( make sure you choose the shut down program if you uninstall the software as then you get pop up java script errors i had that for a week till support told me how to fix it )

temps are so so accurate i mean they tell the temp but adrenalin seems to take temps in different places and like aida 64 on my jonsbo d31 lcd monitor seem to be different !!
but all in all quite accurate with adrenalin !!

got my AK 500 digital from ali express paid with pay pal no issues arrived fast !!

I plan on using it on a 13600k for my all intel build with the noctua fans !!

If you want more bang for the buck, why are you buying Noctua products? For less than half the price you're paying for Noctua's dual tower coolers you can get Thermalright's dual tower coolers that come within 95% of the performance of the overpriced Noctua coolers. The Peerless Assassin SE can be had for a little over $40, and it can maintain 235W indefinitely.
