DeepCool does not warrant that this product will meet customer's requirements. It is customer's responsibility to determine the suitability of this product. DeepCool has certainly been on a bit of a busy release streak recently when it has come to brand-new cooling products. In terms of air coolers, we’ve seen models such as the AK400 ( review link here) and the AK500 ( review link here) which both impressed us massively! – This time around, however, it’s time to take something of a technological upgrade as we take a closer look at the newly released LT520 AIO liquid cooler! DeepCool LT520 AIO Liquid Cooler
While it was fairly easy with previous generations of CPUs for coolers to keep the flagship i9 processor well under TJ max (the maximum temperature a CPU can sustain without throttling) in tough workloads, this is no longer realistically possible on current generation CPUs (and the 13900K especially) without extreme cooling (or enabling power limits).
Tier 1: These coolers are able to keep the i9-12900K below TJ max in most loads, with no power limits enforced. I expect only the best liquid coolers to meet this standard.
You Require Low Noise: It has a fairly high overall noise output, so may not be suitable for users prioritizing a quieter system. The increased cooling challenges posed by Raptor Lake mean that we’ve had to change some of the ways we test coolers. Some coolers were able to pass Cinebench R23 multicore testing with Intel’s 12th Gen i9-12900K when power limits were removed (although only the strongest models were able to pass that test). Most liquid coolers and all air coolers I’ve tested “failed” that test because the CPU reached TJ max in this scenario. In addition to testing Cinebench without power limits enforced, we’ll also be showing results when the CPU’s power consumption is limited to a more reasonable 200W. We’ll also show results at 125W for those who prefer whisper-quiet cooling, at the cost of some performance. For both of these results, we’ll show traditional delta over ambient temperature results.

There is no dedicated A-RGB controller provided with the cooler. There is no hub provided with the cooler either. The terminal connectors are 4-pin PWM and 3-pin, 5V, and A-RGB ones. The A-RGB lighting is compatible with: Unauthorized repairs to a DeepCool product will void the coverage offered by the warranty policy. DeepCool reserves the right to refuse to service any product which has been altered, modified or repaired by non-DeepCool service personnel. I'll be testing DeepCool’s LS520 with Intel's i9-12900K. Due to the increased thermal density of the Intel 7 manufacturing process, as well as changes to core and component layouts, Alder Lake CPUs are more difficult to cool than previous generation CPUs in the most heat-intensive of workloads. You Prefer Easy Installation: The cooler offers installation with 14 components for AMD CPUs, suitable for users valuing straightforward setup. Don’t Buy It If:
