**Deep Cool vs Corsair Water Cooler: A Comparison**

In this article, we will compare two popular water coolers: the Deep Cool and the Corsair. Both products have been tested for their performance, features, and ease of installation.

**Airflow Performance**

One of the most impressive aspects of the Deep Cool was its airflow performance. The system pushed air out extremely well, surpassing the Corsair in output to components. This was a huge win for me, especially considering I have room for a 360mm radiator in my case, which is extremely important.

**Water Cooler Features**

The water cooler itself was big but very quiet, even in an open-air bench. I don't hear this water cooler run ever, which is very impressive. Corsair had a case at the Deep Cool show with no sound, and I was very impressed with that. It does come with a RGB cable if you want it to be completely motherboard-controlled.

**RGB Lighting**

The system is not a RGB, which is probably its smallest downfall, but it is RGB and it is controlled from your main board. You also have a switch like a little dongle for clicking that can wire in as well if you don't want or don't have a modern motherboard. So both systems will solve your problem by plugging into the controller, and this will actually plug into your USB port on your board.

**Installation**

Installation was pretty easy. You take off the plastic brackets, put the Andie mounting hardware on the cooler, bolt it right into the factory Andie backplate, and that's it. Very impressive and very easy to install.

**Cons**

The fans on the radiator are definitely louder than the Corsair fans. I know deep down yes, these Deep Cool fans probably move a lot more air than the Corsair, but design versus design, that's where they lack it. Not saying they're bad fans, not saying that you're really gonna hear it in a case, but in again in the open air, I got upset with the noise from the pump.

**Room for 360mm Radiator**

The biggest con of a 360mm radiator is will your case support it? Most cases will support it in the front or above, but a lot of cases if you're into mid-tower configurations, there's a chance that the top light at the front won't or just won't fit. That's where the 240 comes in.

**Overall**

Both products are solid, and both products were very efficient. I was very happy overall. In my opinion, I'm going to use the Corsair in my build from now on, but for now that will be the unit of choice.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, the Deep Cool water cooler is a good buy if it was a hundred to a hundred and twenty dollars. This is just my opinion, I believe that you're getting a better fan product, but overall it's up to you to decide whether the pump is better than the other.

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enokay guys welcome back to the last game hunter this will be my first at what I will call a beat quiet Edition water-cooling shootout now be quiet does not have water cooling in North America at this point in time so why is be quiet behind this well I just wanted to give them a shout out because of the simple fact of their powering this test bench so be quiet was gracious enough when I reached out and I said hi guys I'm building a test bench and I want be quiets product on this so be quiet straight power 11 series power supply in this case I'm using their 650 watt on the test bench because that's more than enough for this test bench their silent wing 2's are also on here due to one their silent - they're very efficient and they're very durable long lasting fans so they're also if I put a water cooler on this bench and I'm not doing a test where I'm using other products then I'm probably gonna put their fans on there to be just because at this point they are the sponsor for this test bench moving forward so anytime you hear me say the be quiet test bench it is right there be quiet add their name on there now because I put it there so guys welcome to the be quiet test back hey now that we got that out of the way I normally don't like to plug too much and they didn't ask me to do that I just want to make that clear I did it and I asked them for their product on my test bench because they've been using a lot of be quiet product doing a lot of reviews with them and I love their stuff so why would I not ask what I love to power my test bench so moving forward this test bench is powered by an AMD Horizon 2600 X so I wanted to be a little more current or as much current as possible without you know brick in the pockets so it's a 2600 X 16 gigs of xpg from a data 3200 Ram right now all of my bench testing and test anytime I do this are running with the RX 580 video cards as I have a few of those for doing builds tests and shootouts I just thought it was a roundabout card that I got a great deal on so I bought a few of those for this type of situation unless of course we're doing a D processor or anything like that with the APU built-in so what we have here and I want to see because I know I'm gonna get some comments here people are gonna be saying why am I putting a 360 deep cool against Corsairs IQ h100 i RGB Pro XT well to make it fair this is a hundred and eighty dollar Canadian a IO this is $109 a IO so to be fair I wanted to be let's say half the price and right now this guy is on sale for $89 or at least when I purchased it it is I'll put links to both these products in descriptions below so if you are needing a 240 or you needed 360 or whatever you just want to save money or you want to buy the Corsair brand maybe your Corsair fan maybe you love deep cool the links will be below so what I have done is we tested everything factory so we're testing the Corsair factory fans factory everything oh and another thing to make clear the motherboard and everything is out of the box plugged in no fans being turned up cranked or anything this is all based on what you would get as a purchaser at home building your computer even for your first time you know nothing about computers and then you put it together and you're like wow it runs and you put your water cooler on now so what I did I made sure everything was factored so I wanted that out-of-the-box experience that the average Joe would get not us guys that can overclock and step things up and make the fans go at a certain point where we're perfect with the decibel level and so on I try to do reviews and shootouts for the average and everyday person we know there's a lot of tech heads out there and they talk a lot of jarba gear every day even sometimes I'm lost at what they say so I try to make things a lot easier so what I did we did Corsair factory fans and deep cool with factory fans so we did what we call a push setup that is when the air is being pushed through the red now if you've watched other videos online and I'll tell you right now I didn't bother with a pull system because push or pull might make a difference in one degree literally it's not a big difference so no sense of me doing pull results so I did push results so fans pushing through on both then we did the push pull system so what we do push/pull was we added fans to the back on both units using the same brand name fans which I'm not going to get into right now because that is another video and those fans would be pulling the air then from the push so you would have air coming in and the other fans would be exhausting that air so you're putting more air into your computer case if need be or in such cases technically trying to make your radiators run cooler and we'll find out if that worked another thing that I did and I noticed was when I do results so bench testing so we're going to use blender Cinebench are 20 and passmark so I want to use three different benchmarks I know pass mark is not very hard on the system versus the other two but numbers are very important and they all do give numbers based on if you're doing a pass mark score against a parse max score that they're based on each other so that is accurate if you do a blender score against blender and then sit event versus Cinebench you're getting the scores that you want based on each benchmarking software so I get three says make sure that every test came out concurrent is this the same situation when I push it harder and push it harder and push it lightly so what I did was we had the recording you're gonna see a bit of the stuff up here right now this is actually OC CT that's what I use for burning stuff in testing stuff running for more than 10 minutes checking to see if hardware is gonna fail that kind of thing now all the software I'm using is completely free you can download it completely free and use it I can leave links below even to all that software if you ask me I'll put it there so what I've done is when you're recording let's say I have hardware monitor in the background and I have Windows recording all of the information so I got three things going on benchmark hardware monitor and Windows is recording the data so I'm making a video at the same time of course your benchmark numbers are going to dive so what we did we did full testing doing recording and then I did testing not recording now ended not recording I didn't record temperatures because the worst case of temperatures were already done what I wanted to know was does the water cooling give you better performance that is another key so guys let's check out the results I've done a lot of note-taking here this took me a couple days to get all this data and I redid it because I was like is this real is this right and I gotta say there's no wrong or right way to go here with these radiators make these a iOS the Corsair I'm very impressed with for a 240 it held its weight I got to say cuz realistically we're putting it up an unfair game here this has better dissipation of air because of being a bigger AIO radiator and an extra fan so should it have one well that was the reasoning for this video one I want to know which AIO I want to put in my new gaming system to show you guys because I want to get that done soon I think my video card is even coming on Monday so two days away so anyway the results were pretty impressive so in blender the corsair montt push withstand around max temps of 69 never went over 69 degrees Celsius which was 156 Fahrenheit for anybody watching from the US but I don't think you guys judge by that I think you do this to see the Celsius as well as us when it comes to computers then we did Cinebench our 20 and here's where it got really interesting so I did this is when I started really looking at performance so under load recording doing everything we had a max temperature of 72 degrees so it went up as I actually thought blender was going to be the harder thing to run to be honest so there was more heat created in Cinebench r20 and we got a score of 29 64 now here's where it gets interesting so then we stop the recording in the background got rid of hardware monitor nothing's running in the background now fresh install windows the windows that's on the test bench is literally just some tool icons fresh install nothing's running out of there maybe Windows Defender or whatever and there's no games I don't think installed on this one this thing's pretty pretty open and we're gonna have to put some games on near future of course four frames per second testing and so on and so forth which we'll get to later on when we need to but we scored thirty twenty three now we went from twenty nine sixty four on water on the same radiator is same system everything to thirty twenty three so now my performance went up then pass mark so in pass mark we wrecked reached temps of sixty-five degrees I didn't think past mark actually pushed the system enough to even do that but it did so we hit sixty five top degrees so 149 Fahrenheit passed mark score four with everything recording everything in the background was 147 64 and then with nothing recording in the background one forty nine ten so you see the difference here we're getting performance boosts big time which is really cool so now we're gonna go down to the deep cool in push so that was the Corsair in push never gonna go the deep cool in push so the deep cool in push configuration which is just the three fans in blender was 66 degrees top so that was the highest it went so on the Corsair it was 70 sorry 69 degrees in the push configuration on the deep cool 66 so there's a winner right there now the question is the points how did it do under load to compare it the Corsair was at five minutes with push and the deep cool gave us okay deep cool on push was or 47 let me get that right four minutes 47 seconds so we saved up over 50 seconds running a little cooler off the deep cool so now we know cooler equals better performance and I'll explain how this is working out for this 2600 X the cooler you can keep your 2600 X it'll stay in boost so if you can keep your 2600 X in boost mode and that's where our fan is not going to cut it in most cases I'm not gonna say a fan can't because a fan can but what I noticed was when a fan is cooling the system and you get the same results I always have a better benchmark score on water so what's happening is water is moving that heat away faster than a fan whether the temps come out the same or not something is going on I'm able to keep it in boost mode so that's pretty interesting when we took everything off so it was just blender running in the background that's it we scored for for sorry if we got down to four minute 38 seconds so we shaved off another 11 minutes or 11 seconds sorry 11 minutes I'd be pretty bad 11 seconds so now we're gonna go to Cinebench our 20 on push so we're push on this we reached a max temp of 65 that's actually really good so 149 Fahrenheit doing very well very well I don't even do I don't think I need to say Fahrenheit again I say that everybody seems to do computers in Celsius I think when you come out of the box no matter where they're being shipped to its Celsius so our score of 29 68 with everything running in the background if we go back to the course err we did 29 64 very impressive that's only I guess we'll call it four points four points between the two now you see why I picked it really doing a good job so now we do nothing running in the background we scored thirty 42 on push on the deep cool and thirty twenty three so with nothing running the background the deep cool outperformed it by a margin now this isn't light jumps or light speed ahead here now I'll get to the pros and cons in just a minute so now we're past mark on the D Coulomb push we're at 63 degrees so it came down it was at 65 on the Corsair so not a big jump so we're not talking like massive massive massive dumps and cooling here this 240 is holding its own quite well we've had a score of 149 11 now this is where things get a little more interesting so on past mark 149 11 on the deep cool and on this one here on push was a 147 64 so this actually or sorry the deep cool actually killed this best performance so when I had nothing run in the background this scored 149 10 with everything running in the background two scored one forty nine eleven so different programs different things and this is why I wanted to use three different benchmarks when I had no load nothing running on this except for the benchmark we scored one r15 two to one light jump boom that was when this shined very very much so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna do push pull now if you don't know what push pull is push pull is when we take another fan we'll just for sake of argument a fan alright right and we put it behind the radiator to pull the air that's being pushed through the ride and that is a push-pull configuration so two fans were added to the Corsair and three fans were added to the deep cool to be there yeah I know that's two more fans or sorry yeah two more fans more than the Corsair but in fairness that's the pseudo and it gets it gets interesting again so now we're in push-pull configuration and we'll go blender this guy still hit a max temperature of 69 degrees it didn't get cooler at all I ran it three times on cold shutdown so push-pull did nothing on the Corsair so I'll get to that so 69 degrees and scored 439 so four minutes 39 seconds blender on the deep cool on push-pull was at 65 degrees did come down in temperature so on push it was only 69 I'm pushed pull it was 65 now we have something happening here this is pushing air whereas this didn't really do much different now the score was four minutes 43 so we were four minutes 43 versus four minutes 47 so still not a big performance jump even though this was running cooler see where this is pretty impressive putting it to 40 against a 360 now we're running the system without anything running in the background the Corsair scores four minutes 39 seconds very nice at 60 90 degrees now we go down to the deep cool and running nothing in the background of four minutes 36 seconds so again not a major benching difference here that's actually pretty impressive for the Corsair at this point considering sizes now another thing I want to point out too is pump size the deep cool definitely has a bigger pump there's no doubt about it and the Corsair has a smaller than your pump not sure if that makes a big difference because it all comes down to the quality of the pump and how much flow it's got so I'm not going to debate that so much as we're not seeing massive massive temperature differences here so and also we're taking a budget I guess we want to call it deep cool I'm very impressed for a budget that's for sure versus we're gonna call it premium or the mother of a iOS so now we're going to go to Cinebench r20 in cinema and to our 20 this guy still topped out at 69 degrees but stayed stable around 66 I wanted to note that it came down a lot and stayed kind of around 66 67 degree mark but it did hit 69 degrees and I was supposed to record top temperatures so it scored two thousand nine hundred and sixty eight okay so that is four points more than it scored without the second fan so now we've gained four points even though the temps technically stayed the same very interesting that actually is very interesting then we go down to Cinebench r20 on the 360 from deep cool and we stay at 66 degrees so we're cooler and we score 29 82 so definitely an improvement over the Corsair is it enough that's to each of you guys to say and to who can run a 360 versus a 240 now we go to nothing running in the background nothing at all running in the background Corsair scores 3045 look at the leap there nothing running in the background 3045 the deep cool hits 3063 still a jump still a lead and I guess in these smaller numbers that's actually a pretty decent jump passmark push-pull Corsair scores at 65 degrees so now we've maintained still 65 degrees it's original push system of 65 push-pull 65 but did maintain a temperature around 52 so it did calm down it actually gives a much cooler result so scoring 14,000 8 72 on the Coursera versus it's 147 64 so it went up quite a bit so even though the temperature max didn't really change the overall temperature did and that's one thing I was trying to get at and it actually did outperform the push system even though it's not making a much difference in temperature so then we go down to the deep cool 360 and 59 degrees steady so a max temp of 59 so quite a bit different in temperatures there and it's scored 149 47 so 14,000 947 outperforming the Corsair by a margin now we go back to nothing running in the background Corsair scores 150 147 jump see you did a jump see absolutely staying around the 65 to 52 degrees so very impressive passmark score on the deep cool 152 76 is still the winner may not be enough but it's the winner so at 59 degrees yes welcome back to the pros and cons part of this episode and we're going to start with the Corsair one of the pros definitely is the size of the product this unit as a 240 is going to fit most mid-tower even some some I guess small form factors for sure and like any form factor was designed to take a radiator should fit it but there's getting into a different category there but most mid towers to big towers of course are going to take a 240 rad system the other Pro of course quality of the fans the fans are definitely the winner as far as no noise whatsoever even when they revved up I kind of felt like I was using some be quiet products at that point which was very impressive to me because I haven't been able to beat the quality of a be quiet fan and a Corsair comes pretty darn close now I've never disputed Corsairs fans before I just find price for what you get there are other solutions and it'll be a different video for sure and even in this video you're going to see of course the difference between one hundred and eighty dollar versus the 360 and my thoughts here so pros were size the fan quality is definitely there and the pump looks sharp the pump really does look sharp I'm very impressed with the look of the pump I've always liked the Corsair pump look it is smaller sleeker but the con of that system so far is there was noise to that pump I found like it like an aquarium sound pump like I when it needs to be cleaned not allowed so you probably won't hear it in your case build but it definitely was there the other con for me was the airflow coming out the radiator so if you're bringing air in from the outside and you had no rad a fans on the inside the airflow coming out was very very limited and if you want your components cooled down that to me was a Oh even in push-pull configuration that unit failed to really in my opinion move air now again it could be the rad tightness who knows but I found that's important to me it didn't pull a lot of air through the red here other than that I don't like the software I don't like the fact that I after USB plug it in but a pro to the USB plug in is if you have an older system you do not have the capability of RGB on your motherboard then you still have RGB which looks really cool so the other con of course talking about RGB is to know RTB fans at a hundred and eighty dollar level that to me is a no-no you gotta spend another 50 bucks to have RGB fans on this for the exact same unit pros on the deep pool were the coolness of the system it is the easy way to put it this did run a lot cooler the airflow coming out the back of the radiator you can feel for quite a distance it's very important to me versus the 240 where I found the airflow very limited coming out of the ride so if you are relying on airflow coming out through the ride because it was pulling the air in from outside for the colder air and you wanted to go across your components well the deep cool is definitely the hands-down winner there I don't know if there's a certain difference in the tightness of the radiators for airflow but even in push-pull configuration the Corsair failed on that whereas I put a piece of paper to see the wind movement of the paper and on the 362 paper basically just stayed like this it was pushing it so very impressive that was a huge win for me I have room for a 360 in my case and that part is extremely important the water cooler is bigger but really quiet even in the open air bench I don't hear this water cooler run ever that's very impressive Corsair had a case at the deep cool no sound so very impressed with that it does come with a RGB cable if you want it to be completely motherboard controlled this system is not a RGB which is probably its smallest downfall but it is RGB and it is controlled from your main board but you also do have a switch like a little dongle for clicking that can wire in as well if you don't want or don't have a modern motherboard so if you don't have a modern motherboard to plug into both systems will solve your problem by this plugging into the controller and this will actually plug into your USB port on your board solving that issue for anybody with older generation systems so both these units are great for that aspect installation hmm gets pretty easy you take off the plastic brackets you put the Andie mounting hardware on the cooler bolt it right into the factory Andy backplate that's it very impressive very easy to install so of course just a quick recap the airflow on the deep cool surpasses the Corsair for output air to your components that to me was one of the biggest literally I can't stress that enough how important that is to me and then we'll go to the cons the fans on the radiator are definitely louder than the Corsair fans we know deep down yes these deep cool fans probably move a lot more air than the Corsair but design versus design that's where they lack it not saying they're bad fans not saying that you're really gonna hear it in a case but in again in the open air I got upset with the noise from the pump in the open air I can hear the fans not extremely loud but I hear them and of course the biggest con of a 360 radiator is will your case support it most cases will support it in the front or above but a lot of cases if you're into mid tower configurations there's a chance that the top light at the front won't or it just won't fit and that's where the 240 comes in so guys overall both products or solid both products were very efficient I was very happy overall would I suggest buying one over the other in my opinion I'm use the Corsair in my build that I'm working on from my own system now in the future there is something else I'm looking at to replace that but for now that will be the unit of choice and we'll see how I'm going to put it in and what configuration I'm going to use for air the Corsair is a good buy if it was a hundred to a hundred and twenty dollars this is just my opinion I believe that you're getting a better fan product but overall is to be judged whether the pump is better than the other I can't say that I just know that the Corsair pump has noise and a deep cool one doesn't that could be a good or a bad thing maybe pumps are supposed to make a bit of noise it sounded kind of like a dirty pump that you would have in your aquarium that sound and that to me I never liked in my aquariums when I have them I don't like it in my pump it's not overbearing but that is a thing that I just wanted to bring up over again and guys I just got to say you're not going to go wrong with either of these water coolers if you have room for the 360 save your money get the 360 enjoy the RGB and the airflow as I hope you enjoyed the shootout between two water coolers it was my first time doing a water cooler shootout bear with me on this stuff I'm still like I mean the notes and everything I really really really tried on this I want to make sure that I'm doing is accurate as possible for you guys without being too techie so till next time guys hope you enjoyed this video I hope I solve some of your problems and maybe if you have the room I saved you some money till next time game overokay guys welcome back to the last game hunter this will be my first at what I will call a beat quiet Edition water-cooling shootout now be quiet does not have water cooling in North America at this point in time so why is be quiet behind this well I just wanted to give them a shout out because of the simple fact of their powering this test bench so be quiet was gracious enough when I reached out and I said hi guys I'm building a test bench and I want be quiets product on this so be quiet straight power 11 series power supply in this case I'm using their

X 16 gigs of xpg from a data 3200 Ram right now all of my bench testing and test anytime I do this are running with the RX 580 video cards as I have a few of those for doing builds tests and shootouts I just thought it was a roundabout card that I got a great deal on so I bought a few of those for this type of situation unless of course we're doing a D processor or anything like that with the APU built-in so what we have here and I want to see because I know I'm gonna get some comments here people are gonna be saying why am I putting a 360 deep cool against Corsairs IQ h100 i RGB Pro XT well to make it fair this is a hundred and eighty dollar Canadian a IO this is $109 a IO so to be fair I wanted to be let's say half the price and right now this guy is on sale for $89 or at least when I

another thing to make clear the motherboard and everything is out of the box plugged in no fans being turned up cranked or anything this is all based on what you would get as a purchaser at home

days away so anyway the results were pretty impressive so in blender the corsair montt push withstand around max temps of 69 never went over 69 degrees Celsius which was 156 Fahrenheit for anybody watching from the US but I don't think you guys judge by that I think you do this to see the Celsius as well as us when it comes to computers then we did Cinebench our 20 and here's where it got really interesting so I did this is when I started really looking at performance so under load recording doing everything we had a max temperature of 72 degrees so it went up as I actually thought blender was going to be the harder thing to run to be honest so there was more heat created in Cinebench r20 and we got a score of 29 64 now here's where it gets interesting so then we stop the recording in the background got rid of hardware monitor nothing's running in the background now fresh install windows the windows that's on the test bench is literally just some tool icons fresh install nothing's running out of there maybe Windows Defender or whatever and there's no games I don't think installed on this one this thing's pretty pretty open and we're gonna have to put some games on near future of course four frames per second testing and so on and so forth which we'll get to later on when we need to but we scored thirty twenty three now we went from twenty nine sixty four on water on the same radiator is same system everything to thirty twenty three so now my performance went up then pass mark so in pass mark we wrecked reached temps of sixty-five degrees I didn't think past mark actually pushed the system enough to even do that but it did so we hit sixty five top degrees so 149 Fahrenheit passed mark score four with everything recording everything in the background was 147 64 and then with nothing recording in the background one forty nine ten so you see the difference here we're getting performance boosts big time which is really cool so now we're gonna go down to the deep cool in push so that was the Corsair in push never gonna go the deep cool in push so the deep cool in push configuration which is just the three fans in blender was 66 degrees top so that was the highest it went so on the Corsair it was 70 sorry 69 degrees in the push configuration on the deep cool 66 so there's a winner right there now the question is the points how did it do under load to compare it the Corsair was at five minutes with push and the deep cool gave us okay deep cool on push was or 47 let me get that right four minutes 47 seconds so we saved up over 50 seconds running a little cooler off the deep cool so now we know cooler equals better performance and I'll explain how this is working out for this 2600 X the cooler you can keep your 2600 X it'll stay in boost so if you can keep your 2600 X in boost mode and that's where our fan is not going to cut it in most cases I'm not gonna say a fan can't because a fan can but what I noticed was when a fan is cooling the system and you get the same results I always have a better benchmark score on water so what's happening is water is moving that heat away faster than a fan whether the temps come out the same or not something is going on I'm able to keep it in boost mode so that's pretty interesting when we took everything off so it was just blender running in the background that's it we scored for for sorry if we got down to four minute 38 seconds so we shaved off another 11 minutes or 11 seconds sorry 11 minutes I'd be pretty bad 11 seconds so now we're gonna go to Cinebench our 20 on push so we're push on this we reached a max temp of 65 that's actually really good so 149 Fahrenheit doing very well very well I don't even do I don't think I need to say Fahrenheit again I say that everybody seems to do computers in Celsius I think when you come out of the box no matter where they're being shipped to its Celsius so our score of 29 68 with everything running in the background if we go back to the course err we did 29 64 very impressive that's only I guess we'll call it four points four points between the two now you see why I picked it really doing a good job so now we do nothing running in the background we scored thirty 42 on push on the deep cool and thirty twenty three so with nothing running the background the deep cool outperformed it by a margin now this isn't light jumps or light speed ahead here now I'll get to the pros and cons in just a minute so now we're past mark on the D Coulomb push we're at 63 degrees so it came down it was at 65 on the Corsair so not a big jump so we're not talking like massive massive massive dumps and cooling here this 240 is holding its own quite well we've had a score of 149 11 now this is where things get a little more interesting so on past mark 149 11 on the deep cool and on this one here on push was a 147 64 so this actually or sorry the deep cool actually killed this best performance so when I had nothing run in the background this scored 149 10 with everything running in the background two scored one forty nine eleven so different programs different things and this is why I wanted to use three different benchmarks when I had no load nothing running on this except for the benchmark we scored one r15 two to one light jump boom that was when this shined very very much so now what we're gonna do is we're gonna do push pull now if you don't know what push pull is push pull is when we take another fan we'll just for sake of argument a fan alright right and we put it behind the radiator to pull the air that's being pushed through the ride and that is a push-pull configuration so two fans were added to the Corsair and three fans were added to the deep cool to be there yeah I know that's two more fans or sorry yeah two more fans more than the Corsair but in fairness that's the pseudo and it gets it gets interesting again so now we're in push-pull configuration and we'll go blender this guy still hit a max temperature of 69 degrees it didn't get cooler at all I ran it three times on cold shutdown so push-pull did nothing on the Corsair so I'll get to that so 69 degrees and scored 439 so four minutes 39 seconds blender on the deep cool on push-pull was at 65 degrees did come down in temperature so on push it was only 69 I'm pushed pull it was 65 now we have something happening here this is pushing air whereas this didn't really do much different now the score was four minutes 43 so we were four minutes 43 versus four minutes 47 so still not a big performance jump even though this was running cooler see where this is pretty impressive putting it to 40 against a 360 now we're running the system without anything running in the background the Corsair scores four minutes 39 seconds very nice at 60 90 degrees now we go down to the deep cool and running nothing in the background of four minutes 36 seconds so again not a major benching difference here that's actually pretty impressive for the Corsair at this point considering sizes now another thing I want to point out too is pump size the deep cool definitely has a bigger pump there's no doubt about it and the Corsair has a smaller than your pump not sure if that makes a big difference because it all comes down to the quality of the pump and how much flow it's got so I'm not going to debate that so much as we're not seeing massive massive temperature differences here so and also we're taking a budget I guess we want to call it deep cool I'm very impressed for a budget that's for sure versus we're gonna call it premium or the mother of a iOS so now we're going to go to Cinebench r20 in cinema and to our 20 this guy still topped out at 69 degrees but stayed stable around 66 I wanted to note that it came down a lot and stayed kind of around 66 67 degree mark but it did hit 69 degrees and I was supposed to record top temperatures so it scored two thousand nine hundred and sixty eight okay so that is four points more than it scored without the second fan so now we've gained four points even though the temps technically stayed the same very interesting that actually is very interesting then we go down to Cinebench r20 on the 360 from deep cool and we stay at 66 degrees so we're cooler and we score 29 82 so definitely an improvement over the Corsair is it enough that's to each of you guys to say and to who can run a 360 versus a 240 now we go to nothing running in the background nothing at all running in the background Corsair scores 3045 look at the leap there nothing running in the background 3045 the deep cool hits 3063 still a jump still a lead and I guess in these smaller numbers that's actually a pretty decent jump passmark push-pull Corsair scores at 65 degrees so now we've maintained still 65 degrees it's original push system of 65 push-pull 65 but did maintain a temperature around 52 so it did calm down it actually gives a much cooler result so scoring 14,000 8 72 on the Coursera versus it's 147 64 so it went up quite a bit so even though the temperature max didn't really change the overall temperature did and that's one thing I was trying to get at and it actually did outperform the push system even though it's not making a much difference in temperature so then we go down to the deep cool 360 and 59 degrees steady so a max temp of 59 so quite a bit different in temperatures there and it's scored 149 47 so 14,000 947 outperforming the Corsair by a margin now we go back to nothing running in the background Corsair scores 150 147 jump see you did a jump see absolutely staying around the 65 to 52 degrees so very impressive passmark score on the deep cool 152 76 is still the winner may not be enough but it's the winner so at 59 degrees yes welcome back to the pros and cons part of this episode and we're going to start with the Corsair one of the pros definitely is the size of the product this unit as a 240 is going to fit most mid-tower even some some I guess small form factors for sure and like any form factor was designed to take a radiator should fit it but there's getting into a different category there but most mid towers to big towers of course are going to take a 240 rad system the other Pro of course quality of the fans the fans are definitely the winner as far as no noise whatsoever even when they revved up I kind of felt like I was using some be quiet products at that point which was very impressive to me because I haven't been able to beat the quality of a be quiet fan and a Corsair comes pretty darn close now I've never disputed Corsairs fans before I just find price for what you get there are other solutions and it'll be a different video for sure and even in this video you're going to see of course the difference between one hundred and eighty dollar versus the 360 and my thoughts here so pros were size the fan quality is definitely there and the pump looks sharp the pump really does look sharp I'm very impressed with the look of the pump I've always liked the Corsair pump look it is smaller sleeker but the con of that system so far is there was noise to that pump I found like it like an aquarium sound pump like I when it needs to be cleaned not allowed so you probably won't hear it in your case build but it definitely was there the other con for me was the airflow coming out the radiator so if you're bringing air in from the outside and you had no rad a fans on the inside the airflow coming out was very very limited and if you want your components cooled down that to me was a Oh even in push-pull configuration that unit failed to really in my opinion move air now again it could be the rad tightness who knows but I found that's important to me it didn't pull a lot of air through the red here other than that I don't like the software I don't like the fact that I after USB plug it in but a pro to the USB plug in is if you have an older system you do not have the capability of RGB on your motherboard then you still have RGB which looks really cool so the other con of course talking about RGB is to know RTB fans at a hundred and eighty dollar level that to me is a no-no you gotta spend another 50 bucks to have RGB fans on this for the exact same unit pros on the deep pool were the coolness of the system it is the easy way to put it this did run a lot cooler the airflow coming out the back of the radiator you can feel for quite a distance it's very important to me versus the 240 where I found the airflow very limited coming out of the ride so if you are relying on airflow coming out through the ride because it was pulling the air in from outside for the colder air and you wanted to go across your components well the deep cool is definitely the hands-down winner there I don't know if there's a certain difference in the tightness of the radiators for airflow but even in push-pull configuration the Corsair failed on that whereas I put a piece of paper to see the wind movement of the paper and on the 362 paper basically just stayed like this it was pushing it so very impressive that was a huge win for me I have room for a 360 in my case and that part is extremely important the water cooler is bigger but really quiet even in the open air bench I don't hear this water cooler run ever that's very impressive Corsair had a case at the deep cool no sound so very impressed with that it does come with a RGB cable if you want it to be completely motherboard controlled this system is not a RGB which is probably its smallest downfall but it is RGB and it is controlled from your main board but you also do have a switch like a little dongle for clicking that can wire in as well if you don't want or don't have a modern motherboard so if you don't have a modern motherboard to plug into both systems will solve your problem by this plugging into the controller and this will actually plug into your USB port on your board solving that issue for anybody with older generation systems so both these units are great for that aspect installation hmm gets pretty easy you take off the plastic brackets you put the Andie mounting hardware on the cooler bolt it right into the factory Andy backplate that's it very impressive very easy to install so of course just a quick recap the airflow on the deep cool surpasses the Corsair for output air to your components that to me was one of the biggest literally I can't stress that enough how important that is to me and then we'll go to the cons the fans on the radiator are definitely louder than the Corsair fans we know deep down yes these deep cool fans probably move a lot more air than the Corsair but design versus design that's where they lack it not saying they're bad fans not saying that you're really gonna hear it in a case but in again in the open air I got upset with the noise from the pump in the open air I can hear the fans not extremely loud but I hear them and of course the biggest con of a 360 radiator is will your case support it most cases will support it in the front or above but a lot of cases if you're into mid tower configurations there's a chance that the top light at the front won't or it just won't fit and that's where the 240 comes in so guys overall both products or solid both products were very efficient I was very happy overall would I suggest buying one over the other in my opinion I'm use the Corsair in my build that I'm working on from my own system now in the future there is something else I'm looking at to replace that but for now that will be the unit of choice and we'll see how I'm going to put it in and what configuration I'm going to use for air the Corsair is a good buy if it was a hundred to a hundred and twenty dollars this is just my opinion I believe that you're getting a better fan product but overall is to be judged whether the pump is better than the other I can't say that I just know that the Corsair pump has noise and a deep cool one doesn't that could be a good or a bad thing maybe pumps are supposed to make a bit of noise it sounded kind of like a dirty pump that you would have in your aquarium that sound and that to me I never liked in my aquariums when I have them I don't like it in my pump it's not overbearing but that is a thing that I just wanted to bring up over again and guys I just got to say you're not going to go wrong with either of these water coolers if you have room for the 360 save your money get the 360 enjoy the RGB and the airflow as I hope you enjoyed the shootout between two water coolers it was my first time doing a water cooler shootout bear with me on this stuff I'm still like I mean the notes and everything I really really really tried on this I want to make sure that I'm doing is accurate as possible for you guys without being too techie so till next time guys hope you enjoyed this video I hope I solve some of your problems and maybe if you have the room I saved you some money till next time game over
