Deepcool Gammaxx L240 AIO review
At just 89.99 EUR/USD - AIO for the masses?
Today, we are reviewing the new Deepcool Gammaxx L240 AIO. This is one of the latest AIO coolers from this Beijing company known for their specialization in water-cooled and illuminated cases for the PC enthusiast. There’s also a 120 mm version available, but we’ve received the 240 mm one. The Gammaxx L240 uses the very popular all-in-one formula, with a radiator, a pump, and fans (2 x120 mm in this case) that are coupled into a single, closed loop. But is it any different compared with many other products of this kind available on the market? Maybe the looks? Not really, as the pump is round and of standard size, as opposed to the Gamerstorm Castle 240 RGB that we’ve already reviewed, and which has a higher pump block.
Deepcool stayed on the safe side this time. The top section of the pump has a mirror-like finish (when the lights are off), with LEDs in the center and also forming a ring around the unit. Most of the popular sockets are covered, and of course, this includes AM4 as well. The radiator is a 274 x 120 x 27 mm aluminium unit with braided, flexible tubing and two 120 mm PWM fans capable of reaching speeds up to 1800 rpm. RGB lighting is supported on compatible motherboards from:
- Asus Aura Sync,
- Gigabyte RGB Fusion,
- MSI Mystic Light Sync,
- and Asrock Polychrome Sync.
There’s no dedicated Deepcool software, and no SATA-powered lighting controller is included (unlike with the Castle 240 RGB), so you can’t actually control the lighting if you don’t have any LED headers on your motherboard. As a result, the product is quite cheap, with an MSRP of 89.99 USD/89.99 EUR /79.99GBP. But will that be enough to earn our recommendation? Let’s take a look the Deepcool Gammaxx L240 cooler, then.

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).
