DeepCool Captain 240 EX review - Features

Specifications

The Captain EX is DeepCool's latest update to its compact watercooling kit line that aims to bring watercooling to the masses. It fits in many cases that support up-to 3 x 120mm fan radiators, is compatible with pretty much any available Intel and AMD platform whilst being as easy to install as say a traditional heatsink. It comes factory filled, sealed and tested with a two year zero maintenance guarantee. The kit comes with two 120mm PWM fans that have a fairly wide RPM range, it will operate silently or unleash more power as desired. The water pump helps dissipate heat effectively and maintain temperatures through stable water circulation. The Micro channels on the waterblock enlarge the contact surface between cold plate and coolant for more heat transfer. DeepCool will offer 120mm, 240mm and 360mm versions.

Highly efficient liquid cooling & outstanding durability

Thanks to the application of new patented technology, every drop of coolant within the optimized self-governed circulation channel will be fully used and take the heat away in a most efficient way.  Meanwhile, with the adoption of anti-explosion rubber, which also features anti-corrosion, crush resistance and thermo stability, the safety and stability of the self-governed circulation channel will be greatly guaranteed. 

By equipping unique silent TF 120 double-blade fan with anti-shock pad, CAPTAIN EX Series can not only offer a higher air pressure for radiator to take the heat away efficiently, but also maintain an extremely low noise environment as de-vibration rubber will absorb most operating noise. The advanced detachable blade design and built-in 3-proof functions (Dustproof, Waterproof, Oil-leakage proof) of TF120 fan will satisfy your DIY enthusiasm to build a unique rig. What’s more, upgraded tooling free installation solution, combined with 100% solid metal material clip, makes a simplified installation but a firmer structure.
