DeepCool Maelstrom 240 - cooling like a whirlpool

We test and review the DeepCool Captain 240 EX, this updated all-in-one liquid cooling kit is rather decent in performance for an AIO with a 240mm rad. These liquid cooling kits are pre-fitted with a single loop and ready to install straight out of the box. Armed with pretty nice looks and an attractive price, DeepCool managed to keep up with similar competing products.

CAPTAIN EX Series is an all-in-one liquid cooling solution for desktop PCs and is available in 120mm, 240mm and 360mm versions, all of them feature several techniques like SS design (Separated Section), visible liquid flow and a little boom-boom-pow thanks to LED lightening.

The 240 kit that we test is a self-contained (AIO) CPU cooling unit based on liquid cooling. It does not require much setup installation. With a pump and radiator ship pressure tested, pre-filled, and sealed directly from the factory to provide maintenance-free operation for years. This ease of use extends to its support of the latest Intel and AMD sockets; including the latest Intel LGA 1155/1156/2011 and AMD FM2 sockets. The Captain EX series is equipped with high-density water micro channel and cooper block to offer an efficient thermal conduct along with 240 mm X 27 mm Aluminum fin to maximize its cooling performance. Fan replacement is available with the standard built-in mounting holes.

New for the EX is the updated design and the usage of rubberized silent TF 120 double-blade fans. Well, let's find out, but have a look at what's being tested today first.

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.
