DeepCool Morpheus Full-Tower Chassis Review Leave a comment

Introduction, Specs, and Pricing

As we speak, now we have a novel full-tower case from our associates at DeepCool, the Morpheus in white. The case morphs into three chambers to present totally different appears and cooling choices. Priced at $179.99 for each the black and white fashions, that is DeepCool’s flagship case, apart from the very massive Quadstellar.

So, why do not we peek at what the Morpheus from DeepCool morphs into?

Packaging

VIEW GALLERY – 23 IMAGES

In typical DeepCool vogue, the packaging for the Morpheus is a reasonably commonplace affair within the massive brown cardboard field. A sticker with the Morpheus WH and an image are additionally on the entrance.

The opposite aspect of the sticker on the skin of the field exhibits all of the specs.

Taking out the Morpheus exhibits some actually good packaging, guaranteeing every part arrives when packaged. Two high-density foam finish items defend the Morpheus whereas in transit, whereas the plastic bag retains mud and particles from reaching inside.

Outdoors the DeepCool Morpheus Mid-Tower PC Case

Now that each one the packing supplies are eliminated, apart from the tempered glass plastic protecting layers on the within and outdoors, it exhibits the clear traces of the DeepCool Morpheus.

The entrance of the Morpheus exhibits a sq. air flow sample that DeepCool has added some additional aptitude to, however extra on that later. A full-length magnetic mud filter can also be pre-installed.

A full-sized tempered glass aspect panel that’s held into place with two POGO-style pins.

The rear of the Morpheus exhibits a little bit of modularity, albeit with tons of screws, to which the Morpheus has three totally different “modes” to alter relying on the person. 9 PCIe slots and a 120mm or 140mm fan are supported for exhaust in its default chamber configuration.

The rear aspect panel of the Morpheus exhibits two ventilated sections, permitting some parts to breathe contemporary air when configured in several modes. One thing to notice right here is that the air flow sample is small squares, which don’t match the remainder of the case.

The highest part, which incorporates the entrance I/O, has the identical squared-off air flow sample discovered all through the case. Once more, a full detachable magnetic mud filter is pre-installed.

The entrance I/O, ranging from the highest to the underside, has an HDD exercise mild, LED button, two USB 3.0 Kind-A ports, a combo microphone/headset 3.5 mm 4 pole jack, two extra USB 3.0 Kind-A ports, a single USB Gen2 Kind-C port, a black sq. energy button, and lastly the DeepCool brand in teal.

The underside of the Morpheus has a full-length mud filter that’s detachable from the rear of the case. 4 good-sized ft with massive rubber pads make sure the Morpheus is not going to be shifting anyplace.

Contained in the DeepCool Morpheus Mid-Tower PC Case

Transferring to the within of the Morpheus, it exhibits a reasonably spacious design. Having help for mITX as much as EATX motherboards, the Morpheus can even help as much as three 420mm radiators concurrently below its “Twin Chamber Mode.” Additionally, DeepCool has included its digital temperature show that exhibits the temperatures and utilization of each the CPU and GPU; nonetheless, the DeepCool Digital software program is required for this to work.

Taking the entrance panel off reveals the primary fan or radiator mounting brackets, held in through two screws every; these mounts permit the person to pick out which mounting utility will work for the followers they intend to put in. Additionally hooked up is the PSU bracket used for the twin chamber mode.

Right here is the cheat sheet for putting the fan/radiator brackets. Our pattern had a slight difficulty; one of many mounting screw factors for 140mm on F was not drilled extensive sufficient. A easy sufficient repair was to take away the drill and proper the problem.

The followers that DeepCool has included with the Morpheus case are distinctive. The Trinity contains three 140mm aRGB followers blended as one unit utilizing solely two wires to mild and energy the followers. Nonetheless, this triple 140mm fan just isn’t being bought individually, which is a bummer since many individuals like matching all of the followers in a construct.

Eradicating the rear aspect panel, we get a superb take a look at what Morpheus’s cable administration affords. A cable channel raceway runs up the middle, a good way to tame the spaghetti monster of cables that always occurs throughout a construct. Additionally, the entrance I/O cables are white, and it appears DeepCool has paid some consideration to element right here.

HDD help for two.5″ SSDs is supported within the two places on the again of the motherboard tray. There are two extra 3.5″ HDD brackets on the backside. One other fan/radiator bracket for the sideway can also be accessible, with the aspect panel eliminated.

DeepCool has included a deal with field of types with all of the equipment inside. Aside from screws, zip ties, and velcro straps, DeepCool has additionally included a bag stuffed with little rubber items, extra later.

A separate cardboard field consists of all of the components wanted for all of the conversions that the Morpheus can change.

One of many coolest issues that DeepCool has engineered into the Morpheus is the power to alter configurations, with one in every of them being a twin chamber mode, the place the PSU is mounted within the rear, which strikes the motherboard tray nearer to the tempered glass aspect panel.

Remaining Ideas

Bear in mind these little rubber bits? Here’s a enjoyable method so as to add a little bit of customization to the entrance of the Morpheus. As you see, I made a decision to make the TweakTown brand. Did I do an honest job? Solely teal is out there now, so hopefully extra colours might be obtainable sooner or later.

Testing the DeepCool Morpheus is similar suite of the most recent testing {hardware}. An AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with vcore lim ited to 1.1v working at the usual frequency of 4.5GHz on a B650 AORUS Elite AX motherboard. For reminiscence, Patriot Viper at DDR5-5600M/T sticks work properly. The GPU is the NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE, working at inventory clocks and energy limits. The DeepCool Morpheus did nicely concerning whole system cooling, largely as a result of Trinity 140mm triple fan array initially mounted within the aspect fan location. It was relocated as a entrance air consumption, drawing in contemporary, cool air. I mounted the Arctic Freezer II 360mm AIO within the roof mounting location.

The AMD Ryzen 7700X CPU solely rose to a median temperature of 60.7C, whereas the GPU, the NVIDIA RTX 3090 FE, averaged solely 65.2C whereas sustaining a median frequency of virtually 1.9GHz increase clocks. Noise ranges by no means exceeded whisper degree, even at full load.

All testing was accomplished utilizing Aida64 Engineer’s System Stability Check model v7.00.6700 for over 1 hour; the ambient temperature was 18C. Different monitoring software program used was HWiNFO64 v7.72-5355, TechPowerUp GPU-Z v2.57.0, and CPU-Z 2.09.0.x64.

The DeepCool Morpheus has a number of issues going for it, with its major function being fairly notable: the power to alter to 3 totally different chamber configurations. The primary configuration, which is by default, is the normal PSU within the basement one everyone knows. Transferring to the second configuration, which I didn’t construct, locations the PSU within the entrance whereas opening the basement for added cooling help. Lastly, the ultimate configuration, the Twin Chamber Mode, whereas conducting this look, just isn’t fairly a real “2nd” chamber as it isn’t closed off on the underside, feeling just a little incomplete.

That mentioned, the motherboard tray seems floating, giving off an fascinating impact. Alternatively, if one is enthusiastic about customizing the Morpheus by modding, disassembling many components of the case to color or mod is feasible.

In closing, DeepCool has accomplished an ideal job trying to make a modular ATX case the place different manufacturers have failed. Priced at $179.99, it’s acceptable for what you get by way of its options. Is the Morpheus for the on a regular basis person? Most likely not. However for these lovers with the modder itch, the DeepCool Morpheus is likely to be that scratch that would be the most satisfying.
