That bag is inside the radiator and it's pressurised to a certain amount, when the liquid temperature increases the pressure will also increase and the volume of the bag decreases to maintain a constant pressure inside the aio. It works like a reverse water expansion tank that you usually find beside an electric water heater.

Backstory for Jay : Deepcool once sold a case with a build-in AIO called the Deepcool Genome. Super cool case with the double-helix AIO. The AIO had issues exploding due to pressure build up. They modified it for the V2. Ever since Deepcool has been all about this anti-leak technology

I took a chance and picked up a DeepCool AK620 for my build last year it it has held up fantastically and for the price it has been excellent. Plus I just love the checkerboard style pattern on the fins, it looks so good.

There was this res that did the same thing. Let's see how this works! Thanks Jay keep up the amazing videos and your work!

this is awesome been waiting to see something on these. had it in my cart for a couple months. can't wait to see the verdict

I just bought this a week ago. It is my first time leaving the ol' familiar air cooler. I appreciated the innovation, to ease my apparently unfounded concerns, and in doing so bringing old dogs like me in to unfamiliar territory.

bought a LS720 about a week ago and i fully love it!

I have a Deepcool Captain 240 PRO V2 that is still running perfectly since januari 2020. It also haves the anti leak tech you mentioned. Very good temps and pump is still silent. I'm very happy i went with Deepcool. I heard they produce all their AIO's in house.

just got mine and installed it in pop air mini , love it. happy to see this video because i was skeptical

Keep it together man! Love the reference! Jay bro that made my day. Much needed. Thanks!

Just bought the lt720 for my first aio. Love it so far.

I'm rocking the LT720. It's a beauty!

I'm more concerned about pump failure than a leak with AIO's which often means the entire unit needs replacing. Custom loop is where leaks are my main concern because more points of failure while pump failure not since it's replaceable.

JayzTwoCients! Always great. Haven't looked at the cost of that piece but, got a mid ATX case from them quite a while ago now for my other rig. Not the greatest airflow but, for $68 I think it makes a great buy especially if your into case modding. Top and front covers come off very easy and solid construction for something that costs $30~40 less than most mainstream cases in the same category.

Thanks for the honest review Jay I bought the 360mm version for my 5900x after my h100i v2 failed (clogged rad)

I grabbed the lt720 during prime day for my then also new to me 7800x3d. I absolutely love this AIO! It looks great, I've yet to hear it at all and it keeps my 7800x3d very cool. I also only payed around $95 for it which is crazy cheap for a 360mm AIO!

Running Deep Cool Air cooler on my 7600x setup.. working just 👍

Loveee my deep cool 240 aio, keeps my 9th gen cool at 5ghz. Also agree with jay they are bringing innovation and quality at a affordable price point. I really wish they would have continued the pump head with the glass and metal pipe in them... looked so industrial !

I have the LS720 series and have had no issues with it. Deepcool does make a good AIO.

We use that same tech in our tube heads for dental radiation technology. It does take a lot of heat and as you stated many other bad thing have to happen in order to get that much heat. I have a few pics of the ballon expanding on the tube head if interested. As always thanks for the informative vids.

This AIO is also one of, if not the cheapest AIO at microcenter. I was looking at getting this one for my build because I thought the block/pump looked very thin, which I needed for my SFF build. Ended up getting the newer model Lian Li AIO that recently came out and modding my case to fit.

I'm _pretty_ sure there was another AIO that had that feature a couple/few years back. No idea what it was, but I definitely remember seeing a video about it. I think they called it a valve though, it was a piece that would pop out.

I bought le520 240mm for my 13600k and I loved it. It was also said that it comes with anti leak. The performance also better for a budget AIO cooler.

I just purcashed one these, but a 360mm. Looks good, works well, and cant hear water. Significantly reduced my temps by 10c, over my 240mm cooler master. One thing I have noticed is hazing on the inside of the cube, after about 1 months use.

pretty sure the bag is inside the housing and expanding there. You have the same system in heating loops for apartments with a gas heater. The "bag" just makes sure the loop is always full and under about the same pressure by expanding and shrinking with temperature.

Got a cheap pump for the cat water box on Ali and on a regular base I put near boiling temperature water in it to kill bacteria. I let it run until the water is cold then I throw it out and replace the water with new cold water. Works reasonably well to clean it. That pump sounds exactly like it did when I first installed it. Pumps are capable of more than you think they are.There is a limit but that limit is probably >100c after all you want to remove the possibility that it dies if you forget to plug in the power.

Nice Jay!

I got an Amazon deal and got the DeepCool LS720 (360mm) for 80 bucks!, Thing runs my 13700K OC to 6Ghz with no issues no thermal throttling NADA! Highly recommended.

Im using a Deepcool LS720 for about a year now on my 13700k. One of the best AIO‘s I ever used. And that’s not only a subjective feel. Roman and Steve tested their products and they are equal to way more expansive aios And yes it is not an asetek pump it is in house developed

I've watch quite a few videos on AOI's and apparently for one to leak is VERY VERY VERY VERYYYYYY rare. like almost basically impossible. Though the longer you have it the chance I guess could be higher? or you get a really really faulty one.

You should have put the inlet/ outlet tubes to the radiator on top of testing set-up (and higher than the pump). That way it would be in the configuration it would be in a system. Also, the relief point would be at the highest point of the loop, increasing chance of failure.

19:20 Jay, the difference between science and screwing around is writing it down, or in your case, recording it. This, by Adam Savage's definition, is *absolutely* science!

First time builder. Do you not have to add liquid with these liquid cooler? I have ordered cooler master with 3 fans and looking to have all parts to built soon.

at 4:30 min in, im so excited to see jay heat this rad up

I purchased my first AIO, a Fractal Design celsius S36 nearly 6 years ago based on your review of it ( it will be 6 years on the 29th december 2023 ) and it is still going strong. ive had to repaste it a couple times and going to do it again soon but now that youve said that youre lucky if youve had one last 5 years, im kinda nervous now...

I got 3x LT720, one of them the pump broke after a month. The RMA was slow, i had to use another cooler for 2 weeks. Hopefully they will all be stable.

I have a Corsair H100i I bought used with an AMD FX-9590 BE for about $130 several years ago and it still works great.

I've had a deepcool AIO for 5 years and it's been reliable as hell. I've pulled it out twice now in those 5 years to shake it and determine if there was too much evap and reapply TP. No sloshing even 5 years in. craziness.

I have the deepcool LS720 for my i9-13900k by far the best aio I've had been about 6 months of use no problems and haven't noticed any thermal issue's while gaming for hours

I’ve been using Deepcool’s older Castle 360 AIO for over 3 years now in my pc. It seems to still perform just as good as when I first installed it. In the AIO space I think Deepcool does everything right. Great performance, attractive designs, reliability, and more affordable than most of its competitors. I can also see the “leak proof” tech indirectly be something that potentially extends the life of the pump by actively reducing the loop pressure. Not entirely sure if that is happening in practice tho.

i have been using an older model Deepcool Gamerstorm 240 AIO for over 5 years.. Yes 5 years since I bought it in 2018 to cool my i7 6700K, i had many doubts about this deepcool because i was not familiar with his brand and it was the only one that was in my budgetand it never leaked. I have removed and reinstalled the AIO multiple times as part of PC cleaning. It still performs well :)

I have a Deepcool LT720 cooling my 13900k currently and I'm happy with their AIO for sure. Hopefully I never need the anti-leak though!

I've seen the same thing where if it's not the pump failling, it's a leak from the o-ring around the pump. The liquid did fall on the motherboard but not on the graphic card. The user told me he noticed his PC was getting drastically way slower and was shutting down after a certain amount of time so I told him to boot up the PC into the BIOS on the monitoring tab. I saw the CPU temperature climbing and climbing in the BIOS getting over 90C so I told him to bring me the PC because as opposed to what he thought, it wasn't a thermal paste issue because I did the application myself less than a year ago. I took off the graphic card, cleaned up the traces of liquid with isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs, replaced the leaking AIO with a brand new one, redone the thermal paste application and he didn't have any issue ever since. It has been close to a year now.

I love the MCRN wallpaper! It's clearly legitimate salvage

It looks like an ingeneer test object project in a classroom . Nice idea , good theory , doesnt need in practice. water expand , air get compressed already in the waterchamber of the aio that is not fully filled up so baloon is pointless en technicaly needs a counter air pressure like expansion tanks , that already has pressure in cold state , have .

I have this AIO and it works great.

I assemble PCs for a living, dedicating 9 hours a day to this work. Over the years, my experience with Deepcool has been incredibly positive and consistently reliable. The LT 720 is significantly better than the Asus Ryujin II, even with Noctua fans. Based on my experience, all of their products are amazing and reasonably priced. However, my favorite coolers to assemble are their AK series for air cooling and LT series for AIOs; they never disappoint and so easy to assemble.

Really thought about getting one of these, but I am a sucker for Asus. Ended up getting the asus ryujin 2 aio and I love it. Still might get one of these for my kids build because it's stupid cheap and pretty much all modern aios use the same pump from like 1 or 2 companies.

Interesting tech. I think it works well enough because as Jay points out... there are other fail safes in the computer which would stop the AIO from getting that hot. (e.g. your cpu will throttle long before the water temp gets close to a bursting temp. )

1) I'd guess you boiled the coolant on the first one where it pressurised with steam 2) I loved looking at the expanse PC sitting in the background

This anti-leak is functioning similar to an expansion tank on a home hot water system. I would suggest looking up the operation and function of a boiler system expansion tank and you'll see what deep cool was doing with this air blatter.

I had a Corsair H80i V1 that failed in the cold plate oring and started leaking. It didnt damage anything though and Corsair was quick to replace it with an H80i V2 though so that was good.

I have an old ROG certified Genome Gamerstorm case. V1 from memory. I've had this for about 5 years now with daily use and suffered many heavy overclocking on CPU and many stress tests. The stock AIO that's built into the case is still going strong. I've had 1 issue with it where the pump seems to have stopped working and the pc shut down. A few 'if it's already broken, I can't break it more' taps, and it's been working again for the last year without any further issues.

What if pump failure so no coolant moving from cold plate but the CPU is still cranking out 90c for long time with no fluid moving would results change? Thanks for the content.

@jayztwocents, confirm with DeepCool but I'm almost sure that this little valve works most of the times. Even when it's not at critical state. So in general it should help to extend the lifespan of the AIO. Maybe you can keep it running at 50 degrees and check every week how it's doing and then after few years we'll know. Just attach it to some PC and use it to heat your studio, lol.

in the past, deepcool had lots of aio leak issue, thats why i had trust issue with aio & go with air cooler instead

Interesting, so you can add/replace the fluid from that bladder hole? I think AIO's are typically closed loops, that you can't do anything to the fluid.

Hey Jay! Doubt you'll see this but I remember you asking for video ideas awhile back. Finally have one for ya. I haven't been able to find anyone testing if there is a performance difference on a 12vHPWR card while paired with an ATX 3.0 PSU vs an older PSU with adapters. I doubt there is but it would be cool to see just for the science!

I have a Deepcool Castle 360ex cooling my 5950X (PBO enabled) and it has also this anti-leak tech. What I can tell you is that sometimes (rarely) I can hear a little "phssssst" which I think the cooler is relieving some pressure build-up inside the loop? So it must be doing something?

I'm curious about Lenovo's new 9i and how the self-contained liquid cooling system works. Any chance you might check it out?

I got an LT720 for my current build but the pump went bad after a few months with a horrible grinding sound. There support was great they even cross shipped a replacement. Asus wont even do that without paying them money.

Is that a sneak peek at the finished Expanse PC? Looks great!!!

Hey, Jay! Maybe you should retry this test with a brand new AIO. As you know, an old AIO will have lost some water mass to permeation, which results in reduced system pressure and/or air insertion, which would perform the same function as the bladder in the DeepCool. A brand new AIO would experience far greater pressure change. That said, those flexible tubes just might have enough elasticity in them that you still wouldn't get the same effect as heating an inelastic radiator.

my first corsair aio still going strong :) I think its 12 years or more. Even the fan is working

"If you get 5 years out of an AIO, you got your money's worth multiple times over." - Jay Yessir, I picked up a Swiftech H220-X in 2015 for $150, still running strong today. Funny thing, I was just setting time aside this weekend to flush it and refill. Great timing on the topic lol.

I replaced my old Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 with this AIO, it's doing a good job for my 5600x. it certainly isn't as affordable but I love the unique infinity mirror design and you can re fill the radiator

My next AIO! :D It looks so damn cool while keeping it cool!

My room-mate has my old Deepcool 360mm AIO.. it's well over 5 years old at this point.. and still going strong

The expanse PC in background, reminds me of Bender from Futurama LOL

My NZXT Kraken X52 is now 7 Years Old and it still runs as good as new :D

The Expanse PC looks like a shocked Minion in the background 😂

I bought the LS520 and had it a few months already. One of the fans began vibrating and making noise. DeepCool did replace the fan, however, the other fan has made noise momentarily. I like the AIO, the only down fall is the fans are cheap.

Tbh the 360mm version in white is so cool. Derbauer did a comparison between the lower end without the infinity mirror and the Corsair, be quiet, and Nzxt z variants. All coolers performed similarly but the bequiet cooler had the CPU thermal throttling in the benchmark he ran. Not that it'll get to that point with most 360 aios but the cheapest one was the deepcool cooler.

Cool video. As a newer AIO user, leaks were something I was a bit worried about. BTW Jay, do you know if any manufacturers have made IP68 water resistant PC components? Like motherboards, PSU’s ect? Or if there are any in the making?

I'm clearly not Jay but I did want to mention FSP's power supplies, alot of them have a conformal coating on the PCB and components to make them much more resilient to humidity and damp environments

I think the idea is that the loop's pressure is kept constant and low. without attaching to an external tube and measuring the pressure and then hitting it with heat, will we know. Id love a followup though, would apply to full WC loops too.

I've wondered if the misconception that the coolant temperature is always similar to the component temperature partly has to do with people saying to have fan speed controlled by the coolant temperature but fail to mention that you'd want a different fan curve.

love the expance wallpaper
