DeepCool released two budget down-draft CPU coolers that prioritize compact dimensions and low noise over raw cooling power. These models target users with small form factor cases or older platforms who need reliable thermal management without spending much. The ALTA 9 and GAMMA HUNTER 1700 arrive at a price point that makes them accessible for entry-level builds or system replacements.
DeepCool adds two aluminum down-draft coolers for $5.94
The ALTA 9 uses a 92mm fan to push air through its aluminum heatsink. It stands 58.5mm tall and supports legacy Intel Socket H and LGA775 platforms. The fan spins at 2200 RPM and moves 42.35 CFM of air while generating 26.3 dB(A) of noise.

The GAMMA HUNTER 1700 features a larger 120mm fan and stands 63.5mm tall. It supports Intel Socket V and H, as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets. The fan operates at 1600 RPM, delivering 55.5 CFM of airflow at a quieter 21 dB(A).
Both coolers cost 39.9 CNY (around $5.94), which is around $5.94. DeepCool listed these items for sale in China starting on October 9, 2024. The low price reflects their simple aluminum extruded construction and single-fan design.
These releases expand DeepCool's lineup with affordable options for specific socket types. The ALTA 9 serves older Intel systems, while the GAMMA HUNTER 1700 covers modern AMD and Intel platforms. Buyers looking for cheap, low-profile cooling have two new choices at this price.
