The main body of the Maelstrom 240 is not really different than all the others we've seen in the past although the base/pump combo is actually larger compared to what we've seen to date.

As you can see the radiator is just 27mm thick which is quite smaller compared to some 32mm thick ones we've gotten our hands on.

You can install up to 4 fans onto the 274mm long radiator (two 120mm fans on each side).

Aside a single fin which was slightly damaged the rest of the fins are of very good quality.

Although the 305mm long fluorinated ethylene propylene tubes are not as soft as the ones used by Asetek and CoolIT still they are almost equally flexible.

The pump/base combo is 31.5mm thick and has the GamerStorm logo on it which lights up when connected to the mainboard.

The tubes don't rotate as much as the ones we've seen with other AIO models but even this should be enough to simplify the installation.

The large copper base of the Maelstrom 240 comes with a thin layer of thermal conductive material pre-applied on it.

DeepCool decided to use two GF120 120mm fans that feature rubber frames and removable impellers.

The black/red color combination had me from the get go since it so happens to be my favorite one.

You can plug up to four 4pin PWM fans into the bundled fan hub but unfortunately you can't control their speed with it.

The GamerStorm logo looks very nice once the Maelstrom 240 is installed.
