Verdict

DeepCool Castle 360EX

7.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid value-tier 360mm RGB AIO, worth buying on sale but generally outclassed by DeepCool's own newer LT720 at similar pricing.

Phanteks Glacier One 360D30

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely strong thick-radiator AIO for builders with the case clearance to use it, though it demands more planning around fit than a standard-thickness 360mm cooler.
