Review: Deepcool Gamerstorm Castle 280EX liquid cooler

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/08/2020 03:16 PM | source: | 4 comment(s)

Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Deepcool: the Castle 280EX. A new thing to emphasize in this review: we’ll also show you results for an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, not just the Intel Core i9 9900K this time. As for the hero of the review - it’s the third variant in the family. We already reviewed its smaller (240 mm) brother almost one year ago.

Read the review right here.

So, as long as ARRGEEBEE is not the main accelerator of your system go for an Arctic Liquid Freezer II? (scnr) xD

Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 is the best bang for buck out there

So wish I could buy the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 in Australia.

Altech Computers in Australia use to distribute them here but no one has taken over the distribution of their products since Altech closed down and for the life of me I don't understand why no one has taken the distribution of them as their cooling products are far superior to many others on the market.

Having a Gamerstorm Captain 360, it looks like they didn't make the tubes so long this time around. My cooler is definitely overkill for what I have and works amazingly, but tubes were wayyyy too long. Good to see this time around they fixed this!
