Deepcool Gamerstorm Castle 240EX AIO review - Product showcase

The provided fans are the Deepcool 120 mm. You’ll receive two of them. The fans have a black, plastic frame with 9 black blades. Anti-vibration pads are provided on the mounting corners, and that’s a nice bonus given the price.

The basic specifications are listed below:

  • Fan Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 25 mm
  • Fan Speed: 500 ~ 1800 RPM +/- 10 %
  • Control Mode: PWM

That’s the theory, but in reality, the range of useful RPMs is wider (especially in the lower end):

  

  

In Fan Xpert 4, it was possible to set the RPMs as low as about ~330 (in Extreme Quiet mode). So, in fact, it looks better than what Deepcool declares (minimum 500 rpm). You have to remember that results may vary depending on the fan sample and the motherboard too. As for the radiator - it’s a slim, aluminum one with many fins, so nothing that would surprise anyone. It’s 282 x 120 x 27 mm, and the last dimension is the thickness.

As for the pump, the look is simply good. It’s possible to customize the logo. Two flat cables come out from the side of the block:

  • 1x 3 pin for voltage
  • 1x RGB connector (plugged into the motherboard)

The Castle 240EX uses 310 mm long, flexible sleeved tubing. It’s quite short for larger chassis. One last piece of information for this part - you can easily refill the liquid via a port on the edge of the radiator.

Deepcool AK400 air cooler review
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool; it’s an AK400. The AK400 is from the same family as the AK620 (a dual-tower cooler). The previous product of this type (air cooler) covered was the AS500, tested back at the end of 2020. It was so good (it earned the “Approved” award) that it stayed as a part of the chassis test suite. This time around, it’s also a single tower design cooler, with a four heat pipe tower layout, a unique matrix fin design, and a high-performance FDB fan that should provide excellent heat dissipation and low noise levels.

Deepcool CK560 chassis review
This time, we’re checking out the Deepcool CK560, an airflow-oriented mid-sized ATX tower PC chassis. I had an almost instant deja-vu when I saw the first materials about it. Why’s that? It looks almost exactly the same as the other Deepcool (previously also named GamerStorm) product, I mean the CG560, which I had in my hands for a review. Well, the front panel looks a bit different, but that’s not a significant change. Let’s check the other things as well.

Deepcool PQ1000M (1000W PSU) review
Today we’re putting the new Deepcool PQ1000M power supply on our test bench. The company is rather known for making the chassis, coolers, or fans, but two power supplies were already covered on guru3d. The first one was the DQ750-M back in 2018, a 750 Watt unit with an 80 Plus Gold certificate that earned the “Recommended” award. The second one was the DQ850-M-V2L which was reviewed in 2020, bringing, for example, the 10-year warranty (instead of 5-years), but on the other side – it was rather noisy in low-mid load. Another two years have passed (coincidence?), and the next unit from Deepcool is in our hands, again with more wattage (it looks like a rule).
