The focus keyphrase for this article, DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO, perfectly encapsulates the core product and its purpose.

The Ultimate in Performance: Technical Specifications

The DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO is built on a foundation of cutting-edge technology to ensure top-tier performance and reliability.² Every component, from the pump to the fans and radiator, is engineered to work in harmony for maximum cooling efficiency.

4th Generation High-Performance Pump

At the core of the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO‘s formidable cooling power is its 4th Generation water pump.³ This is not just a standard pump; it’s a meticulously designed piece of engineering that features a number of improvements over previous generations.⁴

• Powerful Three-Phase Drive Motor: The pump’s motor can reach speeds of up to 3100 RPM, providing a strong and consistent flow of coolant.⁵ This high-speed circulation is critical for quickly moving heat away from the CPU and towards the radiator.⁶

   

• Thick Solid Copper Cold Plate: The contact point with your CPU is a solid copper base, which is a superior thermal conductor.⁷ This plate is precision-machined to ensure a seamless and uniform match with the CPU’s integrated heat spreader (IHS), maximizing the efficiency of heat transfer.⁸

   

• Improved Microchannel Design: The microchannels within the cold plate are optimized to ensure maximum contact between the coolant and the copper surface.⁹ This innovative design increases the surface area for heat exchange, ensuring that every drop of coolant works as hard as possible to absorb heat.

   

• Patented Anti-Leak Technology: DeepCool has implemented a unique pressure-release mechanism that helps prevent leaks.¹⁰ As the internal temperature of the liquid loop increases and the pressure builds, this technology automatically vents a small amount of gas to maintain a safe and stable pressure level, adding a layer of security and peace of mind.¹¹

   

High-Static Pressure FC120 A-RGB PWM Fans

The DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO comes with two FC120 A-RGB PWM fans that are specifically tuned for a liquid cooling environment.¹² These fans are a perfect match for the 240mm radiator, excelling at pushing air through the dense fins.

• High Static Pressure: With an impressive static pressure of 3.27 mmAq, these fans can effectively overcome the resistance of the radiator, ensuring that a significant volume of air passes through to cool the liquid.¹³

   

• Concentrated Airflow: The fan blades are designed to create a concentrated airflow, which helps to cool the radiator more efficiently.¹⁴ This focused airflow prevents “dead spots” and ensures even cooling across the entire radiator surface.

   

• Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB): The fans use a fluid dynamic bearing, a high-end technology that reduces friction and noise while significantly extending the fan’s lifespan to an astounding 50,000 hours.¹⁵ This means quieter operation and a cooler that will last for years.

   

• Dynamic PWM Control: The fan speed is controllable via PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), allowing you to set a dynamic curve that balances noise and performance.¹⁶ The speed can range from 500 to 2250 RPM, giving you the flexibility to choose between a silent operation for productivity or a high-performance mode for intense gaming sessions.¹⁷

   

Efficient 240mm Radiator

The DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO features a 240mm aluminum radiator with dimensions of 282 x 120 x 27 mm.¹⁸ This large surface area is the final piece of the cooling puzzle, where the heat-laden coolant is cooled down by the airflow from the fans.¹⁹ The high-quality aluminum construction ensures excellent heat dissipation properties while keeping the overall weight manageable. The 410mm long tubing provides ample flexibility for installation in a wide variety of cases, from mid-towers to larger chassis.²⁰

Benefits of Choosing the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO, White

Beyond its technical prowess, the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO offers numerous benefits that make it a compelling choice for any PC builder.

Superior Thermal Performance for High-End CPUs

With its ability to handle CPUs with a TDP of up to 280W, the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO is more than capable of cooling modern, power-hungry processors from both Intel and AMD. Whether you’re running a demanding application like video editing software or pushing your CPU to its limits in a modern AAA game, this cooler will prevent thermal throttling and maintain a stable, high-performance environment. This is a significant benefit for anyone who wants to ensure their CPU is always running at its peak.

Stunning Aesthetics for a Clean, Modern Build

The white variant of the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO is a perfect centerpiece for a clean, white-themed PC build. The contrast between the pristine white components and the vibrant ARGB lighting creates a visually striking effect.

• Infinity Mirror Pump Cap: The pump cap features an innovative infinity mirror design that creates a mesmerizing visual effect.²¹ Two light loops appear to recede into a seemingly endless tunnel, adding a unique and sophisticated element to your build.²²

   

• Customizable ARGB Lighting: The pump and fans are equipped with Addressable RGB (ARGB) LEDs that can be synchronized with popular motherboard software like ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light, and ASRock Polychrome.²³ This gives you complete control over the color, effects, and patterns of your lighting, allowing you to match it to the rest of your system’s theme.²⁴

   

• Rotatable Logo Plate: For those who are particular about aesthetics, the pump cap includes an independently rotatable logo plate.²⁵ This ensures that the DeepCool logo is always correctly oriented, regardless of how you mount the cooler.²⁶ A blank plate is also included for those who want to create their own custom design, adding a personal touch to their build.

   

Quiet and Efficient Operation

One of the most significant benefits of a liquid cooler is the potential for quiet operation, and the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO delivers on this front.²⁷ The combination of the low-noise FDB fans and the silent pump ensures that the cooler operates with a minimum of acoustic distraction.²⁸ The pump noise is a very low 19 dB(A), while the fan noise is capped at ≤32.9 dB(A) at full load.²⁹ This makes the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO an excellent choice for users who value a quiet computing environment.

Wide Compatibility and Easy Installation

The all-in-one design of the DEEPCOOL LS520 AIO simplifies the installation process compared to a custom water-cooling loop.³⁰ The cooler comes with newly designed mounting brackets that make it quick and easy to install on a wide range of CPU sockets.³¹ It is compatible with a comprehensive list of Intel and AMD platforms, including the latest Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 sockets, as well as older standards like LGA 1200, LGA 115x, AM4, and others.³² This broad compatibility ensures that the cooler can be used in a wide variety of builds and is a future-proof investment for your PC hardware.
