be quiet! Light Loop 360 AIO Cooler Review

be quiet! is a brand known for its high-performing and silent PC components, from its award-winning cases to its amazing power supplies! However, today it’s all about their longest legacy, PC cooling! We kick things off today with the new be quiet! Light Loop 360mm. This all-in-one (AIO) water cooling unit is designed for high-performance and high TDP systems and promises superior performance. While there are other sizes, such as 240mm and 280mm, we’re focusing on the flagship 360mm today. There’s also a white version of this cooler available, but again, today we have the black version, but of course, the performance should be the same for either colour.

The be quiet! Light Loop 360mm Black is an impressive AIO cooler that offers a compelling combination of performance, aesthetics, and features. It distinguishes itself from the competition with a unique pump design that promises improved noise levels and lifespan. However, there’s also the inclusion of their latest Light Wings high-speed PWM fans, which should ensure optimal airflow and cooling efficiency. Of course, as with all be quiet! hardware, we’re expecting to literally be quiet too. It should provide impressive practicality too, with a refillable radiator design, and an included ARGB 6-fan PWM control hub, and it comes backed up by a competitive 3-year warranty. Furthermore, at just £126 on Amazon, it’s very competitively priced, only increasing its appeal.

Light Wings LX Fans

Light Loop 360mm Black features 3 Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed fans. They come with 16 LEDs that perfectly scatter across the fan blades and are key for the stunning visuals Light Loop 360mm Black offers. The fan’s 9 airflow-optimized fan blades not only reduce noise-generating turbulences but also ensure that Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed provides the performance that is needed, even in demanding scenarios.

Jet Plate Pump Design

Jet plate, pump and the cold plate of Light Loop 360mm Black are designed for peak performance. The metal jet plate increases flow speed of the cooling liquid, leading to an enhanced performance. A cold plate with a high-density fin stack increases cooling performance on modern flagship and high-end CPUs. Finally, a progressive IC in the motor reduces switching noise, ensuring the noise of the pump stays at a low level.
