A Closer Look

The radiator is a standard boxy design with an FPI (fins-per-inch) count of 20-21, which is typical for most all-in-one liquid coolers. When it comes to tubing, Deepcool has equipped the Captain 240 PRO with 300 mm of sleeved tubing, which is more attractive than the ordinary rubber or corrugated tubing seen on older generations.


Rather than use generic plastic or RGB accents, Deepcool used mirror side panels with the Gamer Storm brand in the middle. Honestly, it is a nice design element that really helps the unit stand out by being just a tiny bit different. You can also see the anti-leak pressure release valve, which is where an elastic bag on the inside adjusts to pressure inside the radiator and expels excess pressure. It should extend the lifespan of the liquid cooler.


The pump design is entirely unique to Deepcool. Rather than use a boring box or circular pump head, they went with what I have previously described as a steampunk reactor, and it does features RGB illumination alongside what the company calls its "Visual Liquid Flow Design", which is fancy jargon for a glass pipe. The fittings have a decent range of motion; nothing groundbreaking, but enough to help with stress or routing. As for the base, it is smooth to the touch and free of any gouges or easily distinguishable machining marks.


The fan model number is DF1202512CM-012, and these feature a PWM range of 500–1800 RPM and have a listed maximum airflow of 69.34 CFM.
