A Closer Look
The Pure Loop 2 is an AIO or All-in-One cooler, which means that the radiator, tubing, pump and CPU block come pre-assembled and pre-filled with liquid coolant, so it’s pretty much ready to plug and play in your system.
The pump uses a double-decoupled design, and by placing it in the middle of the tubing rather than on the CPU block or radiator, the tubing will act like an anti-vibration system and help further reduce unwanted noise from the setup.
Moving the pump allows for a more compact CPU block design, and be quiet! has topped it with a piece of uniquely shaped brushed aluminium that looks very attractive, but also has a full ring of ARGB lighting around it that should look pretty cool once powered up.
It’s a simple to mount design too, with just two screws required to secure it to the desired mounting kit; Intel or AMD.
On the bottom, you’ll find a nice and large nickel-coated contact plate, which features a high-quality polished surface to ensure more uniform contact with your CPU.
The radiator is neat and tidy enough, with a relatively standard 240mm design, but it does come with one interesting feature. Most AIO coolers are closed units, but this one has a drain/refill port, allowing you to maintain the cooler and extend its lifespan.
The fans themselves are be quiet! Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM models, which are tuned for high static pressure but also promise low noise operation.
They feature a 4-pole motor design, and can operate at up to 2100 RPM, which is pretty fast, but I suspect you’ll not hear them run that fast on their default settings, but it’s good to know you can ramp them up should you have the need.
With the fans mounted to the radiator, we’re good to go, so let’s get this on the test bench and put it through its paces.
