With so many AIO liquid coolers currently available, both in 120mm and 140mm dimensions it can be difficult to separate yourself from the competition. The new Gamer Storm Castle 240 RGB cooler looks relatively standard in terms of specification with a 27mm thick 240mm radiator, and two fans included as standard. Where it differs is the inclusion of addressable RGB lighting throughout and this includes the rather good looking CPU block/pump.

With a UK launch price of £109.99 (we have seen it on sale for £95.99) there is a lot of competition for a 240mm liquid cooling solution, but does the addressable LED lighting offer enough of an aesthetic boost to make the Castle 240 RGB the next cooler for your CPU?
