DEEPCOOL Captain 240X RGB AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, Anti-Leak Tech Inside, Stainless Steel U-Shape Pipe, Cable Controller and Motherboard with 12V 4-pin RGB Header Control, 3-Year Warranty

While I would have liked to have the ARGB version of this cooler, I couldn't justify the extra $50 just for pretty lights. This version does the same job and the single color RGB on the CPU block still looks great. It's a bit bright, so I had to dial it back a bit, but with the stainless steel tubing reflecting the other lights in my case, it's very attractive.You can spend $200 plus on a 240mm AIO if you want, but it will likely do the same job as this $90 one. In my system while testing at the stock speeds of my Ryzen 2700 I hit 44c under extended full load in my Lian Li Lancool II case with the AIO mounted in the front of the case in a push configuration. As I type this my CPU is sitting at 27c.I wouldn't hesitate to buy this cooler again. It cools well and looks great. Highly recommended.

So i've been building for awhile now, still this is my first Water Cool. Easy, but do take your time as the instructions are picture only (multi-langaage). The AIO pump wire is on the bottom & are RGB wire at top. The tiny controller works fine w/one color at a time or cycle mode. If you want any color (16,777, 216 possible) you must connect top wire to the mobo, use mobo software in this case. Pin 1 is 12v not 5v like much of the Argb. That part is always important so triple check instructions as i have blown my led lights once b4. The radiator is easy, remember that the grill side is exhaust & blade side intake (mount first step outside case) I was able to achieve on average 20-30c below a very avg. air cooler (10700k). Proper mounting the AIO & fans on radiator is everything. you won't get low numbers w/o doing so! take your time [note: i did not want to spend more than 75 bucks but still wanted to used liquid is why i picked this Captain 240x model]

Overall: This thing is very efficient at cooling. My office is normally warm with direct sunlight all day. This cooler stays at 55c at peak and 26c at idle.Wins: The fans, controller, and even the LEDs are high quality, easy to use, and the entire thing is as quiet as I would expect. The water block mount was easier to install than I expected. I was able to get this in 24 hours after order during COVID when everything else was being delayed.Loses: The radiator screw holes were not tapped properly and the mounting screws do not glide in, require force, and in several cases, ended up going in at an angle. This was super frustrating. The CPU block hoses come out and swing clockwise only. My last AOI was mounted up top with the hoses coming down to the right of the CPU when looking inside the case, and I had my single fan radiator for my GPU on the back mount to the left. This new CPU block causes the hoses to want to go right where the single fan radiator sits. This caused me to need to rework my GPU cooler and modify the case slightly to get it to fit in the front of the case so that it was not obstructing this new DeepCool AOI.Still a good value overall. I hope next generation fixes the radiator holes and offers both clockwise and counter clockwise hose angles on the CPU block.EDIT: I am trying to add images to my review, but Amazon removed, changed or the option is broken currently.

Very satisfied with this aio liquid cooler. The mounting experience was a little tricky, but once it’s installed, it looks very nice and able to do its job by keeping the cpu in a low temperature 35-38 Celsius

This CPU AIO Liquid cooler works just as advertised, my temperatures stay more at bay with this on my Ryzen system compared to the previous air cooler I had and boy, does it look pretty. The RGB can be controlled so you can have a set color or other effects. I obviously have not tested the Anti-Leak technology this advertises to have, but I do like the idea of proper measures being taken by the AIO in case of a leak. Overall, great value for the money.

Bought this cooler June 17th, all was working fine (temps in the 40s @ idle, celsius) until a week ago when I started idling at 60, maxing at 80c under load. Cleaned thermal paste and re-applied, still 60C, dusted (I have dust filters so there was no need, but I tried anyways) no good, still idling at 60C, 80C at load. Do not trust this brand, I don't know what caused the issue but I think that the liquid was evaporating. When it was new I could not hear any bubbles when I shook the rad, now I can hear A LOT of bubbles. Overall I'm very disappointed.

Easy to install,looks great and does a great job of cooling my cpu.

I had an old version of this with a single radiator. The old one died right at 3 years, and the swap was super quick and easy, as I didn't need to do anything in the back of the motherboard. All the hardware was unchanged, didn't even have to remove everything of the old cooler from the front of the motherboard.
