DeepCool NEW ARK 90 Tower Chassis review - Introduction

DeepCool NEW ARK 90 PC Chassis
An EATX compatible chassis with embedded triple fan 280mm liquid cooling 

We review the new NEW ARK 90 from DeepCool, a product series that not only looks really good with a nice dark tempered glass design, it is also factory fitted with a 280mm triple fan (we'll explain how that works later) based liquid cooling solution. You read that right, it's integrated into the chassis. The chassis offers terrific looks and sure, also has RGB fans factory installed, configurable with a handy controller. DeepCool has been on a roll lately, their new QuadStellar series became hugely popular. Combined with the earlier Tristellar release, which gave them a more secure name/branding in the USA and EU channels, DeepCool typically was mainly known for their cooling solutions, these days they offer proper AIO liquid cooling kit and a number of chassis. All new is the ARK 90 series, which is a bit of a hybrid of a chassis with included cooling, a new design chassis series combined with a factory fitted and integrated liquid cooler based on their 'Captain' AIO kits. DeepCool decided to do it properly and fits the ARK 90 with a custom 280mm model. Aesthetics are important as well, at the front-side you'll notice part of the reservoir tubing visible. The chassis is your modern age design that comes with all the whistles and bells you may expect from it, we'll show it all of course. As a package, you open it up, install your components and you are good to go as everything LCS wise is pre-fitted and thus the kit is easy to use and install.

• Ultra-wide 230 mm tower compartment with extra clearance (25mm) for cables delivers extreme cooling performance and ease of installation
• Specially designed CAPTAIN Series Liquid Cooling System with 280mm Radiator & 2pcs 140mm RGB fans vertically installed on the side panel, can reduce the impact on CPU heat dissipation performance caused by the graphics card.
• Graphics card can be mounted vertically to provide the perfect showcase for it with an optional connection riser cable
• Specially designed external transparent water-tube with a flow-rotor on the front panel makes the dynamic flow rate of the coolant clearly visible and can also be used with DIY water-cooling systems
• Tempered glass sections on the top panel, front panel, and the whole left side-panel feature the texture of black obsidian
• RGB Lighting System, easily controlled by manual buttons, provides an engaging visual experience

The chassis has been fitted with tempered glass, dark-coated panels, and RGB lighting to provide unique visual aesthetics. The NEW ARK 90 comes with 4 independent cooling slots, handy for more water-cooled.
