CONCLUSION

   Deepcool has a long history with AIO liquid CPU coolers which not only looked great (thanks to their reactor pumps) but also offered very good cooling efficiency numbers. The CASTLE 240RGB takes things up a notch not only in terms of cooling efficiency since it’s better than most AIOs by Deepcool to date but also looks due to the RGB fans and the rather impressive RGB illumination of the pump. It’s also obvious that Deepcool decided to keep noise levels low compared to other AIO models which is why the CASTLE 240RGB falls slightly behind similar solutions like the recently reviewed Hydro H100i Platinum RGB by CORSAIR (well we can’t have it all right?). The bundled RGB controller is also a nice touch since it allows people without RGB compatible mainboards to make use of the RGB feature.

   The current price tag of USD159.99 inside the USA (Newegg) and 123Euros inside the EU (Amazon UK) certainly reflects the performance and looks you’re getting from the CASTLE 240RGB by Deepcool. Granted we do think that it’s just a tad higher than it should on the other side of the Atlantic but at the end of the day you’re getting a great AIO liquid CPU cooler both in performance and looks and that’s why we’re giving the CASTLE 240RGB our Golden Award.
