DeepCool LT720 ARGB

Bei DeepCools Infinity Series ist der Name Programm: Auf der Pumpe sitzt ein beleuchteter und spiegelnder Block mit Unendlichkeitseffekt. Die Infinity Series LT 720 verspricht zudem aber nicht nur eine einzigartige Optik, sondern auch eine wirkungsvolle Kühlung.

The LT720 from DeepCool really impressed us in terms of ease of installation, the cool lighting effects of the pump cover (driven by the motherboard utility) but also regards to its performance. The AIO from DeepCool is trading punches with the other heavy hitters with the fans running at about 1670 RPM, so we get about the same performance for less noise levels (40.5 dBA), while using the same fan curve as with the other models which do not come with a dedicated controller. In our tests, we noted that the fans could rotate with a maximum speed of 2102 RPM, but this aspect increased the noise levels to about 46.1 dBA, but we consider it is not really worth the effort since the default performance is excellent! You may ask if we have found any negative point about this product; there is only one and it is not performance related! The pump cover can sit in only one position and if we do place the pump with the tubing in the standard position (with the fittings on the right), the cover will appear rotated to the left, so the DeepCool logo will be rotated as well. The LT720 can be found online for about 126 Euros, a good price considering the advantages of this particular model!

Even though it took me just over a year to receive a sample of the LT720 AIO by DeepCool I recall colleagues of mine talking about just how great it was in regards to cooling efficiency. That however was back then, today the LT720 is just another good performance AIO which doesn’t really stand out in that regard. Yes, cooling efficiency is certainly good and in terms of noise levels the LT720 does better compared to many other 360mm AIO models in the charts but the same can be said about quite a few others (and some do offer better performance as well). Now the infinity mirror ARGB LEDs on top of the pump do look nice but as expected the lack of ARGB fans might disappoint some potential buyers. On the other hand, being widely available in both black and white colors is certainly one of the good things the LT720 has going for it.

This is a lovely AIO cooler, and while it’s not quite the coolest or even the cheapest, it’s within the ballpark of competitiveness that I would be happy to own one… and well, I actually do own one, and it keeps my i7-13700K in great shape. As I said, it’s a bit noisy using the default fan curve, but if you do need to crank the airflow and don’t care, it’s very capable of dealing with some big overclocking heat. I personally set it to 30% fans, it’s practically silent, and my CPU doesn’t throttle when rendering videos and hits the marketed boost clocks, which is really all I want from a CPU cooler; maximum performance from my CPU and very little noise. Of course, you can use the included limiters too, but honestly, just set the fan curve right, it does the job just fine. The build quality adds to the price, and I think DeepCool’s build quality is a little bit nicer than Asatek’s. The pump is incredibly quiet despite being able to push at up to 3100 RPM. The mounting kit is really easy to use and well-engineered, although in fairness, most brands have that nailed down these days too with a few exceptions. Plus, those new fans are pretty stunning to look at and deliver some massive airflow for 120mm models. Aesthetics are sublime too, the white paint matches up on the radiator with the white plastics, the white cables and headers, and the tubing. Honestly, it’s a small detail but colour matching over multiple materials isn’t easy, and the all-white with a little bit of chrome and a green logo just looks gorgeous. The added infinity mirror cube effect on the pump is really unique too, but DeepCool has always been the top dog for cool pump designs.

Let’s start with the downside first. My only complaints for the LT720 are probably the fan noise when the system is on load, and the lack of the daisy-chain design on the included fans that directly affects the cable management of the system. I know it’s not easy to make a good cooling fan that runs quietly while keeping the cost down, but I really hope DeepCool can actually consider implementing more of these daisy-chain capabilities on their cooling fans, especially those that are specially designed for radiator use.

DeepCool's LT720 WH is a 360 mm all-in-one liquid cooler that is able to dominate its competitors in many aspects. Performance is solid, the warranty is exceptional, add in a unique look, easy-to-use mounting hardware and you end up with a winning combination.

The LT720 performs fine, but we did miss some performance once we needed cooling capacity. We certainly appreciate the new infinity mirror RGB lighting as well. The AiO does a great job of keeping things cool, although its fans could be a notch more silent. There is a lot of room for customization in terms of cooling, so you should be able to achieve a near-silent arrangement. You can use Intel's newest CPU socket, the LGA 1700. Considering that Socket AM5 is also on the list of compatible components, this setup should serve you well into the foreseeable future. As we found out, there were no major hiccups during the entire process of installing the LT Series. The method is straightforward to implement. The new DeepCool LT720 is a well-made and capable performer, worth looking into further if the price is right for you at 139 USD.
