DeepCool Captain 240 EX review -
Core i7 4790K Baseline test
Testing the coolers
Time to test. Today's tested cooler will work absolutely great with any processor from low to high-end (Core i3/Core i5/Core i7 quad-core and even six or eight cores included up-to a 140W TDP (Thermal Design Power) at default operating frequencies.
Core i7 4970K Devils Canyon baseline IDLE Temperatures
Let's have a look at the results for the system in its default non-overclocked state. Below, the IDLE temperatures, thus your processor is doing barely anything to nothing. Just sitting and waiting in your system.
If you have a look at the chart above you can see the processor LOAD temperatures (in the non-overclocked state). We measure in a 20~21 Degrees C ambient room temperature. Ambient temperatures do affect the cooling performance, albeit a little bit. We note down the hottest measured CPU package temperature.
Guru3D's rule of thumb on CPU load vs cooling temps:
- Anything up-to to roughly 50 Degrees C or lower we consider enthusiast class cooling
- Anything in-between 51 to 60 Degrees C we consider performance cooling
- Anything in-between 61 to 70 Degrees C we consider mainstream cooling
- Anything above 71 Degrees C we consider average cooling
We review the Deepcool AK500 PLUS. The design, functionality, and performance of this CPU cooler are all superb. It is easy to classify as a top-tier mainstream air cooler due to its powerful cooli...

Deepcool CH510 chassis review
This time, we’re checking out a (theoretically) high-cooling, performance-oriented mid-sized ATX tower PC chassis –a Deepcool CH510. It looks almost the same as the other Deepcools products; I mean the CG560 and Deepcool CK560, which were already reviewed on guru3d (in November 2021 and April 2022). The front panel looks slightly different (as it’s closed this time), but that’s not a significant change (still – not the best that could have been done). Let’s check if there are other things as well.
DeepCool LS720 (LCS) review
DeepCool has returned with a new liquid cooler that we found to be nothing short of outstanding in terms of cooling performance. We review the 360mm version tagged LS720....
