A Closer Look


There is not much new to see here compared to other all-in-one liquid coolers. The radiator is your typical 240 mm fare with no identifying logos or extras, while the radiator's FPI (fins-per-inch) density of 20 is right in line with the majority of all-in-one liquid offerings. As for build quality, it is good with only a couple of slightly bent fins. When it comes to the tubing, it is sleeved EPDM rubber and has a total length of 350 mm.


The pump is round in design and looks quite similar to the one on the Deepcool Castle 360EX. However, the cold plate and mounting design are different. Swivel fittings on the pump make installation easier by giving a good deal of extra flexibility in terms of orientation and routing of the tubing. As for the copper cold plate, it felt smooth to the touch and was nice and clean. However, there were a couple of rather deep machining marks visible.


The two fans are 120 mm ARGB offerings with an RPM range of 800–1800. What is worth noting here is the surface area. These fans are only around 105 mm across inside the RGB ring, meaning the blades have a smaller surface area than typical fans, which are typically around 115 mm. This means that while these fans are pretty, they won't push much air.
