Key features
What is better than one liquid AIO cooler? Two liquid AIO coolers. Today it’s time for the Gammaxx L360 V2 and Castle 360RGB V2 coolers. Both are among the top of the range of AIO liquid coolers, both use 360mm radiators and both also feature Anti-Leak technology. However, our standardized noise methodology is generally very strict with AIO coolers. So I’m curious to see how Gammaxx and Castle perform in our stress tests.
Conclusion
Both tested coolers did not show any major weaknesses and both deliver solid performance, which after all corresponds to the size of the used radiator. It’s just a bit of a shame that the fans are quite noisy at maximum speed. What is probably most pleasing about the Gammaxx L360 V2 is its relatively low price, which makes this cooler a very interesting choice in terms of price/performance ratio.
Castle 360RGB V2 offers a more attractive appearance and a more modern type of RGB backlight with the possibility of more color effects. However, the additional cost for these purely aesthetic features is not negligible. I would also appreciate a longer warranty for both coolers, but this is not a major drawback.
