A Closer Look
be quiet! Obviously can’t reinvent the AIO here, it still needs to be compatible with as many PC cases as possible, so the radiator is your typical black rectangle with room for 3 x 120mm fans on either side to accommodate a push or pull configuration.
There is a nice little detail along the side though, with some ridges pressed into the metal.
The lines on the radiator somewhat match the aesthetic of the pump too, which has these massive grooves cut into the frosty top. Obviously, the top is ARGB lit, so when it’s powered up, this should look pretty special.
There’s a small be quiet! logo on the top, nothing too crazy, but overall, the pump looks nice and compact and very well made.
There are some pre-fitted screws on the side, so once you fit the mounting plates to the motherboard, you simply tighten these two screws to fit it into place.
The cold place is nicely finished, with a large polished surface that should easily cover any of the Intel or AMD CPUs.
Hooking it up is simple enough, as the pump uses a standard PWM and ARGB header, so you can hook it up to the included hub, your own hub, a motherboard, etc.
The fans look great and are the Light Wings LX PWM High Speed, so they can operate up to 2100 RPM should you need big airflow on really hot days or for overclocking.
The fan’s airflow is rated at 61.8 CFM at 100% PWM, and 2.5mm H2O air pressure.
The hub is simple enough, with power, PWM and ARGB on one end, and fan/RGB connectors on each side where there’s a little cut-away.
Again, all simple enough to understand and easy to set up.
