DeepCool products rebranded to Shaking Tank to dodge U.S. sanctions — seller blurs DeepCool logos from product renders

ShakingTank AK620.

YouTuber Greg Salazar, on X, discovered that DeepCool products are still available in the U.S. but under a different name. The rebranded DeepCool products now retail with the Shaking Tank monicker and have the original DeepCool logo blurred out on the product renders.

Two months ago, the U.S. State Department put DeepCool on the U.S. sanctions list because the famous Chinese PC hardware manufacturer had been reportedly doing business with Russian companies involved in the Ukraine war. DeepCool had allegedly supplied Russian companies with $1 million worth of goods. The sanctions meant that DeepCool could not sell the company's products inside the U.S. market, and retailers could not import DeepCool's products.
