Installation

To mount the LS720 on Socket AM4, you will need to install the proper brackets onto the CPU pump block. To do this, position brackets as shown, and secure them with the four small silver screws. Next, you will need to remove the plastic AMD brackets from the motherboard. With said brackets removed, re-secure the backplate with the threaded AMD stand-offs. Compared to other solutions on the market, DeepCool's design here is top-tier regarding ease of use.


With the pump block and motherboard backplate properly prepared, you can now remove and apply the thermal paste of your choice, or just use the default paste. Either way, slide the pump block down onto the CPU and secure it with the four thumbscrews.


Now that the hard part is dealt with, you can mount the radiator and fans. One thing to keep in mind here is the fans use daisy chaining to handle both the PWM signal, and ARGB functionality. As such, if you plan to hide the cables by placing them towards the motherboard tray, you will want to plug them in and get things ready to go before you mount the radiator.


With everything installed, all that remains is to plug the cable harness into the last wire in the daisy chain sequence. Now plug said harness into a SATA power plug from the PSU, along with the CPU fan header into the motherboard, for RPM readings and fan control.
Overall, the installation was pretty straightforward on AMD, and I would say it is one of the best mounting solutions for an AIO on AM4 at this point. On the Intel side of things, you have a few extra parts, namely plastic spacers, a separate backplate, etc. However, the spacers friction fit the backplate keeping it firmly in place until you can place the pump block and secure it. As such, I have to commend DeepCool here as the mounting hardware overall is simple, reliable, and doesn't require a third hand to make it possible.
