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.
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool: the AS500 (a bit too much similarity to the name of a recent Corsair air cooler – the A500, right?). It’s not the first Deepcool product that...

Deepcool CL500 chassis review
This time, we’re taking a look at the Deepcool CL500, a mid-tower PC chassis with a mesh front design that supports good airflow. In terms of the overall concept, it’s quite similar to the Macube310P, which we reviewed back in March, although Deepcool clearly indicated the changes and improvements over that model.
