CONCLUSION

   Both the CAPTAIN 120 and the 360 models performed extremely well back when we reviewed them slightly over a year ago and although since then we’ve tested several new AIO liquid CPU coolers the CAPTAIN 240 White does not disappoint. Certainly as you can all see from our charts it falls just a tad short when compared to the current generation 240mm AIO models like the Tundra TD02 line (DeepCool just announced their new generation models which they’ve named EX) but a roughly 57 degrees Celsius while at heavy load is by no means a bad result. What the CAPTAIN 240 White offers however is something you can’t get with any other AIO model and that’s a white/black color combination (not to mention the great looking reactor-like section) which thanks to several white PC cases, mainboards, graphics cards and PSUs is quite popular nowadays (especially among modders). The ability to remove the impellers from the fans for easier cleaning may not be the most important feature of the CAPTAIN 240 White but it’s certainly also a plus just like with the CAPTAIN 120 and 360 models.

   DeepCool launched the white variants of the CAPTAIN AIO line primarily to cover modders and for that its price tag is somewhat “inflated” compared to the one of the regular CAPTAIN 240 model (red/black color). To be more exact as we speak the CAPTAIN 240 White costs roughly 20% more since it retails for USD124.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 125Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). In the end it’s not our place to say whether or not the white/black version is worth the extra price since if you’re building a white system it’s pretty much a one way but personally I do hope DeepCool can level their prices between models with different color combinations. With that out of the however the CAPTAIN 240 White is a very good 240mm AIO liquid CPU cooler and for that it gets our Golden Award.
