INTRODUCTION

    Even though AIO liquid CPU coolers are still the number one go-to choice for gamers, enthusiasts and even professionals the truth of the matter is that we've finally reached a point where cooling efficiency just doesn't seem to be getting all that better as time goes by (the same of course applies for air coolers as well). Yes, AIO models are getting more impressive to look at and even noise levels are going down (for the most part) but as I pointed out many years back it seems we're almost at the end of the road when it comes to performance gains, at least with this particular technology. That being said cooling efficiency has improved considerably over the years and even though there may not be much room left for AIO coolers to improve they can still keep the temperatures of even the most advanced CPUs in check. be quiet! just released their latest AIO liquid CPU cooling line called the Light Loop and with me I have the 360mm variant.

    We are the German premium brand manufacturer of quiet hardware components for gaming, workstations and desktop PCs. Since our foundation in 2001, we are proud to have more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Our goal from the very beginning has been to develop products of the highest quality that are not only quiet, but also extremely powerful. With a wide range of power supplies, PC cases, water and air coolers and fans, we have established ourselves as a leading manufacturer in this field.

   The brand new Light Loop line of AIO liquid CPU coolers by be quiet! is currently available in 240/360 models, black and white colors and follows the typical design we've seen countless times in the past. To be precise the Light Loop 360 consists by an 397mm long, 120mm wide and 27mm thick aluminum radiator (complete with a refill port and a coolant bottle for future maintenance), three Light Wings LX 120mm PWM ARGB fans (2100RPM / 61.8CFM / 2.51mmH2O), 400mm long braided tubes, high-speed 2900RPM pump with progressive IC (for reduced noise) and a metal jet plate and high-density stack coldplate (for increased cooling efficiency). The top of the pump features a plastic frosted grid design inside which be quiet! has placed a total of 16 ARGB LEDs something which also applies for each of the three Light Wings LX fans (adding to a total of 64 ARGB LEDs for the entire AIO) all of which you can connect directly to the bundled ARGB-PWM-Hub (enables synchronization of up to 6 PWM fans and 6 ARGB components). Last but not least for AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 owners be quiet! includes a mounting kit with an 8mm offset for optimal cooling efficiency.
