DeepCool LS720 AIO Liquid Cooler Review

A Closer Look

As with all AIO liquid coolers, there are clearly a lot of individual components that make up the completed design. Before we give you our overall thoughts on the DeepCool LS720, therefore, let’s take a closer look at the design and specific features this product has.

CPU Block

The CPU block for the DeepCool LS720 is quite a chunky affair with it roughly being around 3 inches cubed in size. Despite its size, however, as often is the case with CPU blocks, RAM compatibility will not be an issue here. Why is it so tall though? Well, this is because it includes DeepCool’s 4th-generation water pump.

The top of the CPU block features a supremely reflective surface with a square section in the centre featuring the DeepCool logo. The only real downside to this design is that the surface is very much a lint magnet, so when installing this in your system, we strongly advise you to keep the protective plastic coverings on for as long as possible.

The top of the CPU block can be removed and, thanks to the spare plate provided in the accessories, users can choose to install their own custom design. Admittedly, this is clearly a lot more restrictive than some AIO liquid coolers that feature an LCD screen, in terms of customisation options while keeping the overall cost of the product down, however, it’s a nice option to have (even if you never use it – which I wouldn’t blame you since the OEM DeepCool one is already pretty nice).

On, and in terms of placement, this can be easily rotated at 90-degree angles ensuring that, regardless of how you install the CPU block, your logo can always be the right way up!

Contact Plate

The contact plate is nice and large meaning that this should provide excellent coverage for all Intel and AMD sockets supported (which pretty much includes the vast majority of all major types including Threadripper, AM5 (for the upcoming Ryzen 7000 CPUs), and Intel’s LGA 1700 (Alder Lake and the upcoming Raptor Lake).

Radiator

Alas, things in regards to the radiator are a little boring. It’s a black 360mm design and… Yep, that pretty much covers it. Lacking any kind of branding, this is a little generic and I would’ve perhaps liked to have seen DeepCool at least do something here. Even if it’s only embossing their logo on the side.

One useful feature the radiator has, however, is the inclusion of a refilling port. Although generic users should clearly never even have to consider this for at least 3-5 years, it’s nice to know that when the liquid levels do start to fall, you do have the option to top them off. Yes, you will void your warranty if you do this, at the same time though, by usual AIO standards, the warranty should’ve long expired before any ‘top-up’ should become even mildly beneficial.

Fans

As this is a 360mm AIO liquid cooler, it should hardly come as a surprise to learn that you are provided with three fans. With the ARGB switched off (more on this later in the review), if I’m being honest, the fans look a little bland, and, dare I say, generic. There’s nothing to specifically fault with them per se. They just appear a little standard, lightweight, and mostly unremarkable.

On the plus side, however, these fans have been designed by DeepCool (FC120 models) which strongly indicates that their performance should compliment the DeepCool LS720 meaning that, all going well, we should see some nice levels of temperature control while, hopefully, keeping the noise levels down.

Overall

The DeepCool LS720 certainly seems to represent itself well as a solid AIO liquid cooler. Admittedly, with the ARGB off, there isn’t much that really makes this visually pop aside from the surface to the CPU block which is amazingly reflective. Before we get onto the testing, however, let’s see what features DeepCool has applied in regards to the installation process. And more specifically, just how easy, or hard, this is to work with!
