be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components, is proud to announce the latest AIO series in its cooling portfolio: Light Loop. This water cooling series focuses on cooling capabilities and vivid lighting effects. An ARGB cooling block with a unique diffuser and ARGB-enabled Light Wings LX fans allow for impressively vibrant and colorful illumination. The jet plate and cold plate are optimized for enhanced performance, while a progressive IC keeps the pump noise low, making Light Loop the perfect match for users with overclocked systems. Light Loop is available in black and white versions with 240 mm and 360 mm radiators.

It's hard to overlook Light Loop. With up to 64 LEDs in total on the uniquely illuminated cooling block and the brand-new, visually imposing Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM high-speed fans this AIO series leaves a vibrant, lasting impression in every PC. The included ARGB-PWM-hub connects up to 6 PWM fans and 6 ARGB components to just one PWM and one ARGB header on the motherboard, for full ARGB synchronization of all lighting effects. The hub can be positioned anywhere inside the case with adhesive tape or screw holes that match 2.5" SSD mounting.



Performant yet quiet operation
And it's not just about looks: Light Loop is designed for peak performance. The metal jet plate increases flow speed of the cooling liquid and the cold plate with high-density fin stack increases cooling performance on modern flagship and high-end CPUs. To keep operating noise to a minimum, silence-optimized fan blades reduce unwanted turbulences and a progressive motor IC reduces switching noises in the pump. This makes Light Loop perfectly suited for even the most demanding applications. Flexible sleeved tubes enable simple mounting and for a long lifespan, be quiet! has added an easily accessible refill port; a bottle of coolant is included in the scope of delivery. Light Loop is compatible with all current consumer sockets, supports AM5 offset mounting, and comes with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

  • Light Loop 360 mm White: $164.90 / €164.90 / £159.99

Low socket support and non-competitive pricing. Style - and thats it.

The fill port is a nice exra to get the enthousiasts over that have AiO Breakdown paranoia.

It's so sad that Be Quiet caught the RGB bug, they and Noctua were the last companies who made high quality components without stupid lightning everywhere. And Noctua doesn't make cases.

Really wish Be Quiet would've just made a super compact matx version of their silent base cases.

Too expensive for what you get....for that price they should be including their Light Wings fans, instead of their cheaper ones. Better yet, they cmshould have made Teo versions:

1. The "RGB" version with the Light Wings fans

2. A "non-RGB" version with a non-RGB pump cover and with their Silent Wings fans to please the very, very......very vocal anti-RGB individuals. They can even release a "pro" version of this one that comes with the Silent Wings 4 Pro series fans that have 3000RPM and include a thicker (40mm) radiator as a "performance above all else" product.

Either way, I think I'd be more accepting of the price if I got the upgraded fans, either the Light Wings or the Silent Wings....better yet, sell a version with no fans for $100

Ah good, they've moved away from those awful in-tube pumps.

I haven't used a BeQuiet AIO for ages but those pumps that were just hanging off the hose were ugly, came with hard-to-hide cable spaghetti, and weren't actually very quiet. 5500rpm pumps had a distinctive whine that cut through everything else and were hard not to notice at all times.

Cool, but the price of Liquid cooler 360 is way lower, even for the RGB model. If this doesnt win by a lot (in the cooling department) then meh. DOA. Arctic really made something special. Too bad installing that AIO is a pain in the hands ;p

Thats just not true, and noctua is just a rip-off company nowadays.
