[SOLVED] DeepCool Castle 280 RGB vs DeepCool Assassin III

[Maikurosofuto]

I'm still looking for a nice, not pricey, cooling solution and just found a DeepCool Castle 280 RGB and a DeepCool Assassin III for the exact same price, i'm not into water stuff but if there's a considerable difference between these two i can make an exception. So, which one should i buy?

My complete specs: Sapphire RX 5700 XT Pulse | Intel Core i7-10700K | Asus TUF Gaming Z490-Plus | Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition (Dual Fan, Push/Pull) | 16GB (2x8) T-Force Delta RGB DDR4 2666MHZ CL15 | Crucial MX500 1000GB + SanDisk Plus 120GB | Corsair CX750 80+ Bronze | NZXT Noctis 450 ROG Black

The entire world has gone crazy, so not much really surprises me THAT much anymore.

Argentina for the Win. There's American standard connectors, European, Asian etc most pretty easy to replicate or adapt, all somewhat loosely or tightly governed by governing bodies and standards. And then there's Argentina, whom I'm surprised actually uses 220v since nothing else resembles anything anyone else uses, nobody seems to care about actual standards and regulations if your pickets are deep enough. Bring your own, locally bought psu power cable, nothing in the box will fit or work cuz nobody is going to tool up just for 1 country specs in a global market.

'it's a mess' is an understated understatement...

I wish it was cause of the current pandemic, but in Argentina this is everyday craziness, with or without a global pandemic.

Theres good and theres bad in here, but in the tech deparment wish i live somewhere else.

Just an update guys, I couldn't resist and ended up choosing the air side of the force. Bought the Assassin III, wish me luck. Thank you all for your help, stay safe.

But holy crap, that thing is <Mod Edit> HUGE, it fits barely, not touching the acrylic tho, so that's fine.

Nice, If you will like to share your temps later (when you get everything sorted out and tested), that will be great too.

I was planning to do that, only downside is the thermal paste. Looks like durepox

Everything stock (Except for power limits), running Blender BMW benchmark.
