DeepCool GamerStorm Castle 360RGB V2 AIO Cooler Review

Performance

As this is a 360mm AIO liquid cooler, we were clearly expecting the Castle 360RGB to throw up some good levels of performance. Well, good tempered with the knowledge that this AIO cooler is significantly less expensive than many of its competitive models.

So, how did it do? Well, in terms of stock idle performance, the Castle 360RGB was amazing. Between both stock and overclocked performance, this gave some of the best temperature results we have ever seen. There is, however, a downside to this. Once asked to work, the temperature figures settled into something more of what we were expecting and, there’s no point denying it, this got pretty noisy too!

In terms of the noise, general use wasn’t too bad. Occasionally, however, it would hit temperature spikes (as is not uncommon for any CPU) that would just make the fans go into something like overdrive. While DeepCool may have designed a cooler that performs remarkably well for the money, this honestly would’ve been made so much better with some quieter fans.

Is it bad though? No, not by any stretch! The charts are (by virtue of their design) a little misleading and do require a little in-depth analysis to get the true overall picture. For this money, and based on the competition, it’s a very solid AIO cooler!
