HOW TO Install Deepcool LT520 & LT720 on AMD AM4, AM5 and Intel LGA 115x, 1200 & 1700

[@ryancondie283]

This is such an aesthetic cooler, I could install this in my sleep, but I watched the video anyway just to see how cool it looks!

[@GearSeekers]

Appreciate you!

[@knightsljx]

Be warned that the bracket has a weird protrusion that may potentially interfere with your motherboard's top M.2 slot or the heatsink.

[@hczocker6367]

no problem on my ROG Strix B650E-E but thanks!

[@Jocarl1215]

Agree wont fit on my b650e pg itx

Gigabyte Aorus pro x x670e is a strong no go on this one and it absolutely blowz since i got 2 of them. And it shut my build down completely.

[@behindyou64]

I just installed mine with both brackets switched to make them fit

[@DavianFN]

I love the LT520. I have an all white PC and I ordered the LT520 and planned to spray paint it white. The DAY it got delivered, DeepCool officially announced the white versions of both AIOs😂 Such a great product tho. Highly recommend

I just wanted to thank you for your video. I have the 360ex and I couldn't figure out how to install as an am5 without you, appreciate it very much.

[@ghallora]

Hey, mate. I have the 240EX. Their website states the model is not compatible with AM5. Their support states it is. The mounting hardware looks different here to mine though.

[@efx245precor3]

Good timing. I just installed an lt520 yesterday. Keeping 13700kf cool.

What can you say about the pump noisy ? Ppl say it’s loud

[@cutiteedc]

Anyone else had problems with installing this on 1151? With the spacers the cooler is not making contact to the cpu.

[@zzAduuu]

6:15 why are they dont fit on my mainboard pls help

[@calling.4.shleepy995]

Why’d you put the radiator and fans facing outwards? Would look better if you replaced the stock fans with some lian li’s and face it inwards.

[@samven582]

Any idea when the white version will be available in the USA?

[@RyGotcho]

Great and informative video! I used this as a guide to install one yesterday. There was one inaccuracy on the AM4/5 tutorial though. For the best cooling and to offset mounting you should have the brackets over the side with the pumping tubes as shown in the manual and DeepCools official installation video.

[@elemnt360z]

Ya I was confused as well cause my instructions show the mounts go on the top and bottom not the sides like this video. Is that how yours went on?

[@RyGotcho]

@@elemnt360z Yes I used the manuals method of setting the brackets. As in top and bottom. AMD CPUs benefit from offset mounting for more efficient cooling of hotspots. Refer to the official DeepCool video to see how to put it on. This video is accurate otherwise!

[@roundandedgeless.1218]

My mounting pegs aren’t reaching through my motherboard to their wells, installing on am4, what am i supposed to do? 🫥

[@12345harv12345]

i didn't think through the pump tubes position and put radiator first with coolers inside of the case in my ITX build. So MB power cable is too close to the fan blades. Should redo the build when installing graphics card.

[@joshi1506]

I bought this same cooler installed it but the cpu is reaching 100 degrees after running for a minute wouid that be because the cpu isn’t properly touching the water block

[@Yellowfellla]

So if you only have 4 prawn rgb on your mother board you can’t use the rgb ?

[@jwaye89]

Banger of a video fams, instructions are very clear. Keep up the hard work

[@jimmy6372]

What does the male ARGB cabel use for ?

[@disc3233]

So the pump is powered by the cpu header?

[@solo6965]

should the cpu pump tube goes right or down side? does it effect performance?

[@Bard_Emancipovani]

I bought the LT520, the white version, and I also got the Ryzen 7800X3D at the same time. However, I'm having issues with cooling. The processor gets very hot, reaching 87-88°C after a few minutes of running the Cinebench test, which is not normal (the Tjunction temperature for this processor is 89°C). It's mounted correctly (I've reassembled it a couple of times and applied thermal paste), but nothing has changed. :(

[@callumshell]

AMD's chips target their thermal max

[@Bard_Emancipovani]

After a few months, I realized that this only happens in Cinebench, in games, the temperature doesn't exceed 75-76°C...

[@raevod6361]

Same with my 5900x

[@marcing687]

@@Bard_Emancipovani i have done same as u, but i set setting in bios to max 85temp, and now it runs smooth

[@officialtunedout8671]

Why are the tubes for Ryzen coming out of thr right side of the cooler, but end of the video shows them on the bottom, that's confusing since they should be coming from the bottom so the case is aligned correctly.

[@Philippopoulos]

I have an LT520 but my RGB part didn't come with any peeltabs? And the the protective plastic was so difficult to peel off that I just left it on. I have seen some builds that still have it on like mine and others where they have easy peels. Should I try to peel it off anyway?

[@KundeYT]

It isn't mounted straight to the power source? Getting power throught motherboard? Having problems getting power to my coomer

[@iam2loki4u]

question - can the AMD AM4 based bracket setup be attached to the water block/pump - so that the nipples (fittings) are on the bottom like in the Intel layout? I have clearance issues that just made my upgrade to 4 dimms kill my EK water cooler - because on am4 the brackets only go on one way and i cannot rotate the darn block to get the nipples from facing the dimm slots to facing down towards the m.2 slot/gpu... sooooooooo upset i can't find a resolution... considering this as the new replacement setup

[@tizical]

Is the pump cover rotated on the am5 board? It looks like it will be orientated differently going by the hose placement

[@Absolut424]

Are you sure for AM5 installing side ?

[@DarknessPandaVr]

Thank you so much!!!! I’m doing my first build and I had no clue how to fix this problem!

[@behindyou64]

Is there any problem if I place the brackets backwards in AM5? Lower bracket impacts my M2 heatsink. Also, is there any problems if I use tubes at 6 o’clock position in AM5?

[@gerign]

I have the LT520 installed, but under heavy load processes like gaming, it emits a sound, like a buzzing or quite annoying turbine sound.

[@uoga101]

This will be my next aio! I really can’t decide going white of black though!!!

[@sxsoutcast7651]

I used black lt720 in my mostly white build and it makes a major difference.

If installing the radiator top of case, does the orientation of the hoses coming out of the pump/heatsink matter at all? Thanks, great video!

Your B-roll is top notch! Cheers!

[@gratuitousinbliss]

i intalled this with my 1700 cpu, and its running VERY hot. at bootup it goes to 90 celsius and idle it'll drop to maybe 50, but then will randomly shoot to 100 celsius sometimes, especially when launching COD or making too much movements. What is going on????

[@GhostOdyssey]

Hey, bro, awesome and detailed vid, my good man. I couldn't help but notice that the pump-top 9:06 just attached without any screws? Is it held magnetically and is it safe and secure?

[@YancoLima]

he said in the beggining, it is magnetic

[@lankforddl]

So in this video the fans were installed to push air through the radiator back into the case. Was that intentional? I typically try pull air through the radiator and outside the case?

[@PothocketsFPV]

If you have fresh air coming directly into the cooler from the outside, it will cool your cpu more efficiently than running air through your radiator that has been heated by the rest of your components.

great video but I can recommend to always put the liquid cooler on the top of your case if possible...

[@SSJGodJared]

Which is better? Cpu Opt or sys_fan4_pump?

[@novarevs3466]

Did you relocate the pump om the cpu? It had the loops facing the right side but when u put it on they where on the bottom

[@denvernaicker8250]

thank you video was great! how do you ensure when assembling the pump header back on which direction is the correct way without forcing it?

[@diegorlemus6138]

what happen if i dont have cpu opt? an example the board asrock b650m

[@Aleksandar.D]

Nice video, very informative. How about cooler performances? Is it any god or it just looks nice? If it is good (which probably is) how about testing it under full processor load for a 10 minutes or even longer period of time? For me, performacnces is way above how it looks, but not just gamers want their PCs looks good 😁

[@djadja6357]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. no where in the instructions does it say not to tighten the screws on the bracket all of the way (there's no words at all in the instructions lol). So the copper plate wasn't making contact with the CPU and the PC was shutting down right after POST. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Thanks for having better instructions than the ppl who make the dang thing!!!! Lol

@@GearSeekers thank you, are there any 240mm liquid coolers that work without needing to attach cpu_opt?

@@GearSeekers I also figured out that the cpu_fan operates pump and fans at the same time for me.

Great informative video. I got this exact same AIO cooler for my rig. This is my first time using an AIO cooler so I have no baseline for anything but I can hear this tinny tinny pumping sound followed with a click from time to time. Its such a small and tiny noise...is this typically normal for AIO coolers? Does that sound go away or is it just the pump working? I have my radiator installed on the top if that helps..

[@IDice1]

I have a question for you too. When you first booted the pc, did the radiator fans spin or did u have to set that up in bios? Because only the rgb on my cpu turn on but not the fans

[@BeardedLearza]

not gona lie that is a pretty AIO.

[@arkyr1570]

Why is the radiator hoses coming from the bottom, there is many videos saying not to do this ever. Just curious good video

[@GearSeekers]

I makes zero difference. Tubes up people complain, tubes down people complain. The video is for demonstration purposes only.

[@patrickrk44]

It's in regards to where the pump is and air pockets/bubbles. If you can, you don't want air pockets stuck on your CPU side of the aio. It has to do with noise and longevity. And all aios have different amounts of bubbles. I personally have the LT720 mounted up top of the o11XL. Zero noise, gravity takes care of thr bubbles and keeps it away from thr cpu

[@CatsLeMatts]

​@@GearSeekersones this apply to both the radiator side and the cpu cooler side? I accidentally installed mine the other way and just saw this video now. Should I try to fix that?

[@linhduongquang9875]

Does the fan have RGB LEDs or not ?

[@alessioaleo9141]

Thx so much u are the best 🎉

[@beyourselfusion]

Mounting is as easy it can get with Deepcool. I installed 2 weeks ago LT720 to compare with Arctic Freezer 360. Deepcool have same pefromance or even one-two degrees better compared Arctic but Deepcool radiator is 1.1cm thinner. If your case space is tight then deepcool is better option. Used both with 13900k. Maybe because LT720 pump is faster or stronger on max speed. Arctic pump never makes sound but Deepcool pump making little sound if max speed only. What is for me important I can monitor deepcool pump speed but with Arctic you never know pump rpm. LT720 fans are worst deepcool fans I ever used. Humming noise are backround and it comes and goes on below 1000 rpm.

[@nsuinteger-au]

I wish there were simpler ways to get this to work without 3 cable headers and inline resisters, etc.. Meanwhile I'm using a liquid freezer ii that just requires 1 cable to get the fan and pump working. So much simpler.

[@Lexip_Pixel]

Mate, the bracket for AM5 are not well mounted. You should edit that part. They should not be mounted on the side but bottom (where hoses are) and top. Very misleading
