DeepCool CH560 WH: Fresh (case) cooling-wise and visually

Conclusion

You’ve already seen the new “CH” case model as part of a build where we played around a bit with cooling optimizations and keeping things as quiet as possible. Now here is the standard review with a more detailed analysis. Compared to the CH510 Digital series, the CH560 (WH) is a bit more expensive, but comes with more features. And significantly so. Its biggest selling point is its four efficient ARGB fans.

Conclusion

The case was able to cope well with CPU cooling in the tested configuration at all noise levels. It neither lags behind nor stands out. With the graphics card, it’s even a little bit better. There, it holds on to third place and only cases like the Dark Base Pro 901, Prospect 700R or Torrent are better. The graphics card was probably helped by the side perforations and the large perforation on the tunnel. In chipset and VRM cooling, it also didn’t let itself be embarrassed and stayed in the middle positions in the rankings. It lags behind only in cooling of the “motherboard“.

Dust protection is taken care of above standard, the case has a fine dust filter on the front panel. The left side panel does not have a dust filter, but its perforations help to keep the graphics card at a cooler temperature. Also helpful is the perforated tunnel ceiling, where you have the option to place two 120mm fans, which isn’t always a given. Removing and mounting the left side panel is devised in a simple but effective way. Thanks to strong magnets, it stays in place and pulling it out is tool-less.

There were also shortcomings, of which there are more than a few. The first is the flexibility of the tray, which could have been as stiff as the right side panel. The “slump” of the ceiling, which creates a gap at the joint with the front panel, is also not a good calling card of the build quality. Another shortcoming is the plastic filter located below the power supply position with large holes. Not everyone has the option of putting the case on a table instead of placing it on the ground. The connectivity of the case’s I/O panel could also be improved. Namely, it only offers one USB Type-A and one Type-C connector.

The installation of the hardware, its plugging in and also the cable management were carried out without any difficulties. The inside of the case offers quite a lot of space despite the overall dimensions of the case, so there is room to manipulate the hardware. For cable management, you have two vertical pathways, so you don’t have a large bundle of cables piling up in one trough.

The shortcomings of the CH560’s build are compensated by the performance of the system cooling, which is average to above average. In the white version tested, it looks classy, and thanks to the CH560’s features, both positive and negative, you’ll eventually be able to use it for both work and gaming. That is why we give it the “Approved” award.
