Pros: - Looks amazing in my red and black themed computer.
- Keeps my AMD FX 8350 from overheating. Stays at a cool 25c idke and 40c heavy load.
- Semi easy to install.

Cons: - Very loud. Can't seem to turn fans down, not running with CPU temps.
- Hard to install into NZXT S340 case. A little patience is all you need.

Other Thoughts: Be careful when installing that you don't over tighten the pump. The corners can snap off easy. Didn't happen for me, but for others it did.

All in all, it's an amazing cooler for the price.

Pros: The product when installed looks pretty cool. I’m using an i5 3570K which after stress testing with Prime95 it came in about 30C cooler than the stock cooler maxing at 55C.

I started overclocking my CPU and I haven’t gotten it above 80C yet at 20% CPU increase. The radiator feels very sturdy as do the 2 fans to mount to it. Quality here was excellent. Much cooler for much higher ratings than air cooling.

The configuration is almost a one size fits all and does support newer chipsets which is handy.

Cons: I was using a Zalman quiet cooler which was very noticeably quieter than this system.

I also use an open bench case which doesn’t have a great way to mount the radiator.

The tubing doesn’t flex very well which makes it difficult to install. With my configuration the tubing which is the lower quality portion of this is right next to other components.

Other Thoughts: The instructions could use a few words. I understand the reasoning not to as pictures are universal language wise but I’d have appreciated a couple words to help with the order.

Pros: looks fancy :P

Cons: upon installing the block ontop of the CPU the plastic holes on the side broke off while finger tightening. I took it to the local PC shop for the replacement one... he broke it installing as well. VERY poor quality plastic on the corners.

Other Thoughts: needs metal holes for the brackets so they cannot break by finger tightening.

Pros: I like what they are doing with this cooler. it has a lot of really cool features others do not and some cool tech under its hood. first off the radiator is a basic standard 240mm radiator nothing new there but it is quality built. the cool stuff is in the pump and plate and also the fans. in this all in one the plate and the pump are separated the plate is up against the cpu ofcourse but the pump is at the top of housing and they are connected but the clear tube. so the tube isn't just for asthetic's . it also has L.E.D lighting where the tube come's out at the top. the pump is powered off of the motherboard and not off of the powersupply. it comes with a pwm fan hub with up to four pwm fans great for a push pull setup , also include's double sided sticky tape so you can put the hub any where in your case you would like. it has brackets to fit all modern cpu's AMD and intel...including the newest socket 1151from intel. the fans look and feel high quality and also come with a feature for the first time I'm aware of the blades of the fan remove by popping them off for easy cleaning. I had no issue installing the plate to my cpu it was very easy to install overall ...I have the newest 1151 socket of which not all coolers support yet but this one does. and last but not least it comes with one of the coolest case badge's I've seen to date, its an actuall metal plate which I wish more company's would start doing we still love the case badge's just not cheap one's...lol

Cons: the first thing I found I didn't like is the tubing, its small and made of cheap plastic and just like the original h100's I think they should have used a thicker clear tubing and it would have made a big difference. they should also sell other versions with rgb led lighting and different color liquid like blue and green and not just red my system is lit up in blue and the red looks off

Other Thoughts: as far as all in one's go it has some features to set it apart it has a few that help its performance but a few that may hinder it's performance so. it doesn't perform better or worse than any of the others

Pros: Nice product. Good look. Contains all the characteristics we needed for our gamer pc.

Cons: I bought a DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm CAPTAIN 240 CPU Liquid Cooler to be installed on a Asus Z170-A motherboard but the cooler doesn't fit at all. The tubes are in the DIMM's connectors way (if installed the tubes facing front) or it is totally impossible to install it if the tubes are installed facing backward because the elbows connectors on the pump are not movable. Why it is said that this cooler unit fits with 1151 CPU. It doesn't fit with all motherboard and now I have to be reimburse.

Pros: ***check the update in the Cons section.
extremely easy to install, not overly bulky. The pulsating LED light makes the pump appear it is breathing... looks awesome. Keep processor nice and cool. Previous reviews stated the parts are not included or are not labeled correctly to mount the pump to the processor, not true, it is quite simple and everything is included and simple to install... took me 2 minutes to figure out my processor/pump mounting requirements.

Cons: ***update March 16, 2016 Without warning my cooler fans went to high speed then the system shut down. I did some diagnosis and determined the cooler pump failed. I checked the heat sink, all good. The coolant stopped flowing. I removed the cooler and reinstalled my original fan cooler for the CPU and temperatures were back to normal with no shutdowns. I have contacted Deepcool for an RMA for warranty. Waiting for reply....

No real cons but the hoses are a little stiff to get cooler mounted but just following the natural flex of the hoses as you twist it works fine. Mounting the pump onto the processor was confusing for about 2 minutes then went with ease.

Other Thoughts: ***Cooler pump failed without warning after 5 months of use. I have contacted Deepcool and am waiting for answer how to proceed with warranty claim.

I definitely recommend this cooler for anyone looking for an amazing cooling system for their processor and if you have a red theme and window into your case, the pulsating LED light makes it look awesome.

Pros: Works fine keeping the CPU cool.

Cons: Everything was fine until a fan went out and I tried to get in touch with support for a replacement. Feel like I am getting the run around. They want me to send the unit for repair which means I am without a computer for the time it takes them to repair it. This is absolutely not acceptable!

Other Thoughts: Still following up on this issue but I am down to one fan on the radiator and in search for a replacement fan.

Pros: I am a fan of the overall look, the lights in the pump are very nice and the tubing coming out of the pump is great looking as well...

Cons: - LOUD!! Bubbling constantly
- Radiator mounting system is cumbersome and difficult
- Tubing is very stiff and does not like to flex
- Fans are decent at best

Other Thoughts: If given the opportunity again to purchase I would have chosen a different system. The trick looks of this unit are about as much as its worth. I have very limited experience with liquid all in one systems but this one was a pain. Nothing like listening to the sweet sounds of gurgling while sitting next to your custom build PC.

Pros: Cheap
Easy to install
Looks Kinda cool

Cons: After the initial install I was getting maybe 31c on idle and around 39 while gaming. A day later I start up and im idling at 82c. I take the block off my cpu and notice one of the screw holes cracked and the block was not making proper contact. This literally lasted me one day.... ONE DAY!

Pros: The pros are the fact that it's a all in one solution and it does a better job of cooling then air fans. It was very easy to install and I did not have any problems other reviewers are talking about but can see problems if a novice builder might run in to. It cools much better then stock cooling systems and would always recommend a water cooling system for anybody wanting to overclocking their system. The fan power block has provision to add two more fans if you want to do a push pull system. The pump has a red led and red fluid in a clear tub next to it for a nice red theme. The price is great for such a complete system but does that take away from the durability?
I have been able to bump my 3.3 processor to 4.2 and run it fora week straight without problems. It's running about 15 degrees cooler then the air to air cooler and the cpu is stable.

Cons: Although you have a 4 port fan block your still pulling power from a single motherboard connector so I don't recommend that. I fear that this system will fail because so many others have had problems.
The fans look cheap to me but that's just me, they work and move a good amount of air. They are a bit noisy when at full speed but livable.
