THE CAPTAIN 120

Remember the Maelstrom 120 again by DeepCool or the Kuhler 620 by Antec ? Well the Captain 120 is very similar to those two solutions as you can see from the above pictures.

The aluminum radiator used with the Captain 120 is just 27mm thick, 154mm long and 120mm wide.

Fin quality is actually better than what we encountered with the 360mm model but that could have been a factory issue.

Again just like the 360mm model you can access the cooling liquid used by DeepCool to fill the loop (again whether or not that's a good thing i don't know).

The tubes are 326mm in length but as mentioned many times in the past fluorinated ethylene propylene tubes are not as flexible as the rubber ones we see with most AIO models.

The transparent section of the pump allows the end user to see the liquid circulating thanks to a red LED placed beneath. Specs-wise the ceramic bearing pump can reach speeds of up to 2800RPM (+_10%) and has a MTBF of 120.000 hours (on the box the speed indicated is 3400RPM but since there are other errors there as well we're sticking to the online number).

Both tubes can rotate up to 90 degrees but since that would mean hitting the mainboard the headroom is closer to around 60 degrees.

Once again at the end of the pump we find an all-copper base ready with a thin layer of thermal conductive material on it.

DeepCool bundles their GF120 rubber covered fluid dynamic bearing 120mm PWM fan with the Captain 120. This model has a removable impeller for easier cleaning and can spin up to 2200RPM (+_10%) to produce airflow up to 91.12CFM with just 39.3dBA of noise.

Black and red is one of my favorite color combinations so no objections from me here (with the fan mounted the radiator becomes roughly 53mm thick).
