Near silent running while at max RPM for pump and fans
The editors didn't like
Fan screw holes felt too small
Limited availability (at time of writing)
“The Deepcool 240 EX is a great looking cooler that is sure to work well as part of a gaming build. If you can find it at the right price
The EX is sure to make a welcome addition
None
Neutral
RGB lighting controls are a little untidy – particularly if you don’t have a sync compatible motherboard. The RGB adaptor/outlet helps this though
We’ve have liked to see this perhaps do a tiny bit better on temperatures and performance un
Installation process is a challenge to perfect
Some poor choices in design such as the fan hub braiding and plastic backplate

The hardware setup for the cooler reviews remains consistent. It includes a Core i7-5930K with a slight overclock using a moderate voltage level inside a well-ventilated Corsair 760T case. The motherboard is set to a 115°C throttle point, and temperatures...

PriceAt the time of writing, I couldn't find reliable stock information in the UK, which can be for a huge number of reasons. I suspect this will improve, but for now we can only find a few off the beaten path eBay stores with stock for around £65. It's b...

DEEPCOOL obviously wanted to keep things simple and risks low with the release of the Captain EX 240 RGB. They simply took the core design of their former all-in-one cooler, the Captain EX 240, and added RGB lighting to it. The Captain EX 240 was a commer...
