DeepCool QuadStellar PC Chassis
A Precious Alien Sitting In Your Room

We review one of the most fascinating chassis of the year 2018, yes DeepCool send us their all new QuadStellar. A chassis that will follow up the TriStellar, this round with four compartments and a WIFI controllable FAN/RGB LED system. When you unpack this puppy, it almost feels like you have something alien in your house.

DeepCool has been up and coming, their TriStellar series became hugely popular when it went viral on ye ol' interwebz. And that 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. Something new was announced at Computex 2017, their QuadStellar project with angles, shapes, compartments, and styles like you've never seen before. The QuadStellar is all about aesthetics. Much like the "Tristellar" the New QuadStellar adopts a unique design, each component is divided into sections called "cabins" and your hardware components are installed there, separated. Make no mistake, this puppy can hold even can take large motherboards up-to an E-ATX (305 × 330 mm) form factor. You are going to spot nine storage bays, and then some more. Here's a fun fact, the chassis has an independent graphics card compartment, which in theory could even house two or three full-length cards.

The chassis also sports RGB LED illumination controllable by an APP on your smartphone, that same app regulates fan control function and something that is called, an "Active thermal control gate" which opens the four front panels automatically (electrical motors) when the temperature inside the case rises too much.

Customizable RGB Lighting System to create a gamers' exclusive gaming atmosphere
Adjustable fan speed to achieve an optimal balance between speed and noise
Intelligent temperature control, featuring higher accommodation and cooling performance.

... I Want to Believe

Next to looking like something out of space, really this is a chassis, you'll an all dark interior, each compartment has tempered glass, the motherboard tray has grommet holes that are rubberized, a PSU compartment and sure, pretty decent cable routing as well. It won't be cheap at 399 USD, and availability will be severely limited. But you can certainly tell that this is something special, very special. Lets head onwards to the next page, and startup our review.

Deepcool AS500 PLUS CPU Cooler Review
We review the Deepcool AS500 PLUS. This dual fan-based CPU cooler absolutely impresses in looks, features as well as performance. It's easily tagged as a high-end performing air-cooler with low nois...

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).
