CONCLUSION

    As many of you are aware I just recently started using the Ryzen 9 7900X test rig for CPU cooler tests and so when I read that be quiet! offered an 8mm offset with their mounting kit for AMD Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs I was very interested to see what kind of results I’d get. Well, as you can easily tell from the charts the Light Loop 360 delivered the lowest numbers in both idle and average (light load) temperatures. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case under heavy load and well, this is both bad and good. Bad because lately high-end AIO models seem to deliver similar performance at heavy loads and good because that performance is very good, all things considered. The Light Loop 360 is also the quietest 360 AIO in my charts and again, that’s very good news for be quiet! Finally in terms of looks the Light Loop 360 looks great (check the short clips - links in the installation page) but unfortunately since it comes without a USB header (and no dedicated software) it can only be used via motherboard sync technologies (compatible with ASRock Polychrome so it should be with others as well).

    The Light Loop line of AIO liquid CPU coolers by be quiet! was officially released today with the 360mm variant having a very balanced MSRP attached to it of USD159.90/159.90Euros (at this time it wasn’t available anywhere). Bottom line everything pretty much checks out about the Light Loop 360, cooling efficiency is very good, noise levels are lower than most similar models, looks great and has a very balanced MSRP, so the Golden Award is obviously in order.
