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.

Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120

8.4 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the best-known budget dual-tower coolers, precisely because it strips down to essentials without cutting the heatsink itself.
