DeepCool LS720

Zuletzt hatten wir hier aus dem Hause Deepcool einen kleinen Luftkühler zum Testen, heute geht es praktisch genau um das Gegenteil. Mit der neuen LS-Serie bescheinigt sich der Hersteller selbst „Elite Leistung“, ob man dieses Versprechen halten kann erfahrt ihr im nachfolgenden Artikel.

Overall the DeepCool LS720 all-in-one liquid cooler is a 360 mm offering that does quite well but has a few flaws. With regards to pure performance, it did quite well on our AMD test bench, scoring in the middle of the pack when looking specifically at 360 mm units. However, on our Intel test bench, it was heavily outperformed by other offerings. Now I will say it did manage to handle all the overclocked tests with room to spare, so it's not the end of the world by any means; the unit just doesn't offer best-in-class performance. Part of this is due to the tuned noise profile. While it still falls behind in noise normalized tests, it remains one of the quieter AIOs available when the fans spin at maximum RPM.

Last time, we had a small air cooler from Deepcool for testing, but today it’s practically exactly the opposite. With the new LS series, the manufacturer certifies itself “elite performance”, whether you can keep this promise you will learn in the following article.

The LS720 receives high marks in the test because of its excellent performance. The RGB lighting is something we like as well. The AiO's cooling performance is excellent; the thing that may be improved is the relatively deficient acoustic performance from the fans. Tweak it a little and you can get a really silent setup here, you certainly have plenty of cooling capacity to play around with. You can apply the latest CPUs, LGA 1700, Intel's most recent socket. Socket AM5 also is already listed to be compatible, so you are pretty future-proof with this kit. We discovered that the entire procedure of installing the LS Series went off without any big snags. The procedure is uncomplicated and easy to follow. We would recommend pre-attaching the cords for daisy chaining before installing the fans/radiator because our initial approach resulted in the connectors on the fans facing the top edge of the case being difficult to access. Pre-attaching cables before putting everything inside the computer case will eliminate the need to re-install. The most confusing part however is cabling itself, take your time there. Other than that the new DeepCool LS720 is a well-designed and capable performer, and it is yet another alternative in a growing industry that is worth investigating further if the price suits your budget. This is a high-performance cooler and comes recommended by Guru3D.
