I regard deep cool is one of the most underrated PC tech companies on the planet they make excellent cases air coolers and a iOS and now made even better with RGB integration I've already reviewed the regular captain 240 X in a separate video you can find it via the link right here the good news is the captain 240 x RGB doesn't deviate from the regular captain's design so let's discuss features you'll still find the uniform CPU block to be identical good stuff it can be rotated any which way thanks to the absence of one-way branding as well so no upside-down text something I've always liked about the captions the two blinks however is a bit shorter than normal this is how it is with all captain's by the way you may be forced to either mount it up top or in front of your case depending on its dimensions tf1 20s covered the 240 millimeter radiator and all black which is nice they do an excellent job of dissipating heat but they are quite loud past roughly 50% so tweak your fan curve accordingly deep calls opted for an aluminum thinner a for their captain 240 X's and the RGB model is no different it's actually a good choice many will swear by copper but aluminum will release the heat quicker as copper tends to conduct and carry heat longer wants to hold on to that heat not release it as quickly you will find a copper base under the CPU block though which is good in a nutshell you want something to conduct the heat quickly away from the CPU hence the copper here and you want something to release the heat quickly from the radiator hence the aluminium but to be frank swapping either side with the alternative won't change much this config here isn't a concern from a thermodynamic standpoint now let's dive into the key differences between the regular captains and the RGB captains the first of these is perhaps the most obvious the fact that you can change the color inside the CPU blocks rather than just the laisse white or the red that you get with a regular captain's you get to choose the color yourself here now there is a catch to this we'll talk about it later the fact is you can practically change this color to whatever you want and that's a good thing for those who are looking for customization and just RGB in general colors are fairly accurate and modes are easy to distinguish and here's a bonus equal also includes an RGB LED strip to sync up with the waterblock pretty cool if you ask me so now you get case lighting and CPU cooling in the same box good guy DC the catch that I mentioned earlier though is that if you want to change the color of the strip and the CPU block they don't act separately so if you change the color of one the color of the other will also change you have to use the wired remote the problem with that though is that if you want to use the wired remote you have to have access to it obviously and if you put your cables in your case you have to open up your case to change the colors so it kind of sucks there are a few ways around this you can run an included adapter into an RGB header on your motherboard asus or for example but not every board boasts this feature cheap boards forget it 90x configs are sure to be left out unless you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars wireless system would have made this the perfect captain upgrade but the cable in my opinion is extremely restrictive the Achilles heel of this entire unit unless your content on one color period changing modes will be a bit of a hassle now I suppose the counter-argument to this would be well if you already have a color scheme in mind why would you want to change it midway through your pcs life right that's the point of RGB if you want a red color scheme you just set it to red and that's it that's all you need to do so you don't need to change it over and over or you can just set it to the rainbow effect and let it do its crazy thing but my counter-argument to that counter argument would be well how do you know what color that strips can be set to out of the box you don't know if it's set to blue green red purple yellow you have no idea so you have to actually plug that strip into into the whole system here and then change that color before you even build it inside your case or just kind of work with it as you're building but it's still a pain you know having a remote is simple I don't think it would have cost them much more to do that you know but that's just what they went let's so keep it in mind changing colors is a bit of a pain with the new system again though I don't think that for most of you it's going to be that big a deal if you have a color scheme already in mind but other than that cork which I wouldn't call anything other than a quirk or cost-saving measure everything else of this kit is satisfactory it cools about as well as the previous generation despite claims for 10% better heat dissipation over the block and stronger pump but that's beside the point you'll still hit excellent clock speeds on unlocked CPUs and keep core temps nice and cool remember you won't reduce the heat coming from the CPU with this AIO but you will better mitigate it that's the point of a iOS in general the 240 X was already a great one as was the 120 counterpart if you can find them for good prices I still recommend that you buy them there they're excellent a iOS for the price but the 240 X RGB and the one 20-millimeter counterpart add the extra customization that many were asking for especially with the RGB frenzy going absolutely crazy nowadays it's an improvement that won't break the bank even get added benefits like an RGB LED strip and a fan hub that I didn't mention earlier so you call is throwing in things that they don't have to throw in to make this a better building experience better user experience for all of you it's why light deep cool so much bang for the buck this is the company for you if you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the opposite click subscribe but if you haven't already I will catch you in the next video as always links to the product showcase here down in the video description or tie to my amazon link so I get a small kickback if you do purchase something via the link I do appreciate it this is science to do thanks for learning with us you
