So with testing done and having taken a look at the Gamer Storm Castle 280EX, what is the conclusion? Well, Deepcools gaming brand isn't just following the standard OEM out of the box solution for an AIO and I think that in itself is great. There are...

The Gamer Storm Castle 280EX performs well and seems to be quite well made. I can't validate the anti-leak claims without further testing, but it is obvious that quite a bit of attention has been paid to its design.As shipped, the cooling performance is i...
Decent cooling performance, Perfect memory and GPU clearance, Easy to install, Good build quality, Anti-leak tech, RGB illumination is nicely done, Three-year warranty, Pump logo can be rotated or replaced
Somewhat expensive, Fairly loud compared to direct competitors, Mounting hardware has room for improvement, RGB LEDs will likely not please everyone
The Deepcool Gamer Storm Castle 280EX has an MSRP of $149.99. Decent cooling performance Perfect memory and GPU clearance Easy to install Good build quality Anti-leak tech RGB illumination is nicely done Three-year warranty Pump logo can be rotated or re...
Chart-topping performance, Customisable pump lid, Promises never to leak
AMD brackets are an eyesore, No spare thermal paste, Not as quiet as the competition
The Castle 280EX is a natural extension of Deepcool's liquid-cooling product line and offers many of the firm's existing features in an increasingly popular 280mm form factor.Priced at £125, the cooler makes use of the same cylindrical pump head, whos...

Excellent levels of CPU temperature control, Easily able to handle overclocking, Strong aesthetics with customizable features not limited to RGB functionality, Manual RGB hub controller in case your motherboard isn't sync compatible, Bright and vivid RGB
The fans were notably loud under high-load testing, Neutral, Perhaps a little too expensive when compared to alternative (but weaker) 240mm designs, The 280mm size may present some limitations depending on your chassis design, The AIO tubes are slightly s
Presuming that our price estimate proves to be accurate for end-retailers, the DeepCool GamerStorm Castle 280EX is certainly an excellent option for those looking for high-end cooling performance on mid-tier budgets. The slighter larger than ‘usual' 280mm...

Excellent value for money, Extensive CPU socket support, Understated appearance with a hint of RGB, Easy installation, Solid thermal performance
Pump housing looks bulky
In terms of value, the Deepcool Castle 280EX is an excellent proposition. With a launch price matching the smaller Castle 240EX, the price to performance ratio is one of the best on the market, perhaps only topped by the Arctic Liquid Freezer II, and for...

acerca del Deepcool GamerStorm CASTLE 280EXLa estética ha sido sin duda uno de los puntos fuertes de este sistema de refrigeración. Y a pesar de que no está repleto de iluminación como los modelos CASTLE RGB, su cabezal presenta un acabado sobresaliente...
Le design de la pompe, La présence d'un radiateur carré mais, La télécommande RGB de fournie, La petite touche de personnalisation possible de la pompe, L'éclairage RGB convaincant de la pompe, Son tarif bien étudié,

DeepCool, ça faisait longtemps Du matériel DeepCool, ça faisait très longtemps que nous n'en n'avions pas eu entre les mains. Pour le coup, cette redécouverte nous aura été agréable d'un point de vue design dans un premier temps. En effet, le Castle 280EX...
Le design de la pompe, La présence d’un radiateur carré mais, La télécommande RGB de fournie, La petite touche de personnalisation possible de la pompe, L’éclairage RGB convaincant de la pompe, Son tarif bien étudié
Un peu plus de fioriture sur le radiateur, Un set de vis en plus en bundle pour des configurations push/pull out of the box, Moins d’éléments à manipuler pour le montage de la pompe, Une ventilation moins bruyante à plein régime, Des températures plus basses en 12V
Finalement, nous choisissons de décerner la récompense argent au Castle 280EX. La raison principale reste ses températures en retrait face à d’autres kits concurrents et son bruit présent à plein régime malgré des ventilateurs fonctionnant à 1600 RPM. Par ailleurs, tout n’est pas à jeter puisqu’il tient la comparaison à faible régime, on pourra personnaliser sa pompe...
