7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A quiet, no-frills AIO that does exactly what it says, aimed squarely at builders who have no interest in RGB lighting.

DeepCool Mystique 360

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely good value entry into the display-equipped AIO category, if not the most polished software experience.
