That product is not available in my country but I think I have made up my mind and i'm going for a cooler master AIO. The reason is, I only have 1 ARGB header on my motherboard I really need some sort of controller/hub to get all my argb working. The coolermaster masterliquid RGB series come with included controller/hub with passthrough for aura or other software so i can connect my CM case fans, radiator fans and pump also to aura. + they are cheaper than deepcool. Thanks for sharing that but like I said above, i think i'm going with coolermaster because of most compatibility in terms of connections. I know the deepcool coolers also connect to an ARGB header in the motherboard but then i would need a second ARG header, which i don't have, for my case fans from CM, because the CM fans can't connect to the hub that you get with a Deepcool RGB AIO. so thanks for your input guys.

I've always had air coolers and for my new build I just wanted to do something different and go water cooling. I'm not too comfortable creating my own water cooling loop so I thought AIO was the way to go. Also I just like the esthetics of an AIO more, the pump/coolplate are mostly very small in size versus a large air cooler and the radiator tucks away in the top or front of the case, also since I am trying to build something RGB based the RGB on some AIO pumps is a nice feature to have when putting together an RGB theme. Also here in Belgium a decent air cooler like a Noctua will cost me almost as much as an AIO , so i thought, might aswell put a little more money in it and go with an AIO.

Well i'm planning on going for a Ryzen 5 3600, with TridentZ 16gb 3200Mhz CL16 memory and a cooler master MB530P case and i'm interested in the deepcool aio's because of the feature explained above. I also would like some adressable RBG because that is the theme of my build and need it to be compatible with Aura Sync. I know corsair seems to make very good AIO's but they use the iCue software and i don't want that. But i still might concider buying a Corsair one and strapping some ARGB fans to it but then i wouldn't have the good looking pump. I am located in Belgium and have a budget of around €130 which is around 143 us dollar and that is about the price for a Deepcool Castle 360 RGB V2 here in Belgium. thanks for your comment, may i ask, for how long u are using the Gammax right now?

Well I guess your right, probably it is just marketing bs like you say. Well I was looking at the CM ML-R series and was almost certain to buy one but then also found some reviews that said they had leakage after some months. One guy even had a leak within few months, they sent him a new one that was DOA and he was then awaiting his third unit, hoping it would be good this time. So that and some other stories of them leaking made me backout of my idea of buying them. Yeah but if you look at the captain model, that is just bound to fail with that tube sticking out of the pump, it has more points of failure, don't like the design anyway. I know they are in line with corsair prices and I would go for Corsair if I could but I'm planning for an ARGB build and would like to see everything working with Aura Sync, Which is not possible for Corsair products as they are only compatible with iCue and I would rather not have multiple RGB software running, just Aura. Also, the Deepcool RGB pump looks really amazing imo ? Yeah i'm going to think about it some more, maybe look for a good quality normal AIO and just stick some RGB fans on it, we'll see. Thanks for your answers all.

Well it is said that if an IAO needs to cool a heavy load for a while the water can heat up and expand so it generates more pressure and since it is a closed loop the pressure will go to the weakest points in the loop such as seals and fittings and could potentially cause leakage or damage over time. It sounds like a reasonable explanation to me imo, that's why I think it's a nice feature to have. But if you have any recommendations on (rgb) AIOs, they are always welcome. Yeah eventually all of them will die at some point but want to make sure that it lasts me at least couple of years and if that extra feature would really do so, why not.

Hey all, does anyone here have any experience with Deepcool All-in-one liquid coolers? Especially the latest generation where they have this anti-leak system? Deepcool AIO products page I'm very interested in buying a DeepCool Castle 240RGB V2 or the 360RGB V2 and have read some reviews and watched some video's. I'm also very intrigued by the Anti-leak system that Deepcool has. It seem most AIOs leak or fail because of pressure build up in the loop and Deepcool has found a way to deal with this pressure by using a proprietary pressure valve. This ofcourse is very interesting to me as I plan on using my pc for several years and don't want to have an AIO leak in my system. Overall i hear positive things about this liquid cooler but would like to hear from here if anyone here has any hands-on experience on it or any other Deepcool AIO? Thanks in advance. Grtz, Stino

Well I have looked up a bit more on the Trident Z memory and I think i'm going to stick with them for the better stability and to have less hassle when it comes to linking or using the RGB. I know 3600 would be better but my motherboard only supports up to 3466 (ASUS ROG Strix X470-F Gaming) and since i'm on a budget (and this stuff is not so cheap in Belgium) i'm kind of forced to go with X470 and 3200 memory. Thanks for the help, at least i now know that i want to go for Trident Z.

Well i was sort of hoping of finding out if that plugin for the pro series fixes that all and makes it much more straightforward. And no I have nothing else that I plan to run on iCue. Well I'm planning on going for a Ryzen 5 3600 since i'm on a budget and have also found out that G.skill has trident Z ram specifically for AMD platforms. http://www.gskill.com/products/2/165/167/Trident-Z-RGB-(For-AMD) But does it really matter that much? Because i have found Vengeance RGB Pro sticks with the exact same frequency and timings as the trident Z kit I was looking at. I'm planning on going for 16gb (2x8) 3200Mhz CL16 memory and both manufacturers have the same so I thought i'd go for the one where I like the looks the most. Untill I was questioning this rgb feature, if the software side would be to much hassle, i'd still go for the trident Z. I don't want to be starting up 2 softwares and linking them each time I boot and making sure it's synced, that's just not what I want.

Hi guys, I am looking to build a new pc with some rgb goodness and i'm interested in buying an Asus ROG Strix motherboard and some Corsair Vengeance RGB pro ram. I was looking into the fact if the rgb is Asus Aura sync compatible and it seems that only recently Corsair has released an iCue plugin that would enable Aura sync to control the vengeance rgb pro ram modules. See article here: ENABLING AURA SYNC CONTROL FOR YOUR CORSAIR RGB MEMORY But as this is so recent I can't find any experiences online and i'm wondering if anyone here had any experience with this? Or knows some forum posts or just any information in general concerning this topic. I would like to answer some questions like, is it working well, does the iCue software needs active all the time for syncing with Aura, does the link with Aura Sync remain after reboots? I know the G.Skill Trident Z series are compatible with Aura sync out of the box but I like the look of the Vengeance ram more so I want to go for that, unless anyone can really convince me with good reasons why the Trident Z series is better.
