The CPS PCCOOLER RT720 TC is a dual-tower air cooler featuring a compact design, measuring 125 × 138 × 157.5 mm, which contributes to its case-friendly appeal. It utilizes an upgraded heat pipe configuration, incorporating 7× Ø6 mm copper heat pipes, designed to maximize thermal transfer efficiency even under heavy loads. Airflow is managed by dual 120 mm PWM fans, which can deliver up to 73.32 CFM. These fans operate at speeds ranging from 500 to 2200 RPM.
In terms of performance, the RT720 TC holds its own among air coolers. On the AMD platform, maximum RPM fan speeds provided cooling performance comparable to models such as the be quiet! Dark Rock Elite and Thermalright Peerless Assassin SE120 ARGB, and approached the cooling of the Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black. However, when limited to the 45 dBA noise-normalized setting, it fell behind some larger cooling options, though it remained competitive with the Thermalright, ID-Cooling, and FSP dual tower designs.
For Intel testing, the RT720 TC performed similarly to compact dual tower designs including the ID-Cooling FROZN A620 SLK and the be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3. Across both platforms, the cooler demonstrated general capability. In terms of noise, the operational levels are fine at lower PWM settings. However, noise becomes noticeable and loud when pushing past 60-65% PWM or 1500 RPM. The product has a wide range of 500–2200 RPM, offering flexibility to tune the fan PWM curve to find a balance between noise and cooling.
Regarding build quality, the reviewer noted the reinforcement on the dual tower design increases rigidity. CPS PCCOOLER was noted for proactively designing the front fan to sit higher, achieving a flush fit with the top cover, which offers improved clearance for memory with lower profile heatsinks. The mounting hardware was described as simple, robust, and easy to use, and the fit and finish was rated as very good. A noted omission was the lack of listed warranty information on the product listings, product page, or box, although the reviewer was informed the warranty period was two years.
Overall, the RT720 TC is presented as a solid and versatile cooling solution. Its ability to perform well across different platforms is highlighted as a notable advantage, positioning it strongly within its price range. While recognizing that its versatility may prevent it from specializing, the unit accommodates standard or slightly taller memory modules. However, its design, extending over all four DIMM slots, might pose an issue, particularly given current memory market conditions.
In conclusion, for those seeking excellent cooling performance without a high cost, the RT720 TC is recommended. It provides a good mix of performance and price, while also offering a subdued aesthetic for users who wish to avoid ARGB lighting. Despite the intense competition, the cooler remains a recommended choice.
