A Closer Look

Like most all-in-one liquid cooler, the radiator used here is rather plain and boxy in design. It has an FPI (fins-per-inch) count of 20, which is fairly typical for the majority of closed-loop coolers. When it comes to tubing, Deepcool has equipped the Castle 360EX with sleeved tubing that measures out to 465 mm. Also visible in the third image is the location of the bladder and pressure-release valve, which make up Deepcool's Anti-leak technology.


The Gamer Storm Castle 360EX features what I would consider a standard pump design. It's a sleek cylinder with some RGB LEDs; however, it does have a unique feature. You can unscrew the top cap to rotate the internal logo. Thus, users can make sure it is the right side up no matter how they install the cooler. Swivel fittings are used on this model, and they have a good range of motion since they are arranged horizontally rather than vertically. As for the base, it comes with thermal paste pre-applied, but after removing it, I found the base to have a smooth finish with only some lightly visible machining marks.


The TF120S fan model number is DF1202512CM. It has a PWM range of 500–1800 RPM with a listed maximum airflow of 64.4 CFM.
