Introduction

A big thank you to be quiet! for supplying the review sample.

be quiet! has become a go-to brand for PC enthusiasts, thanks to its focus on delivering high performance, low noise products that stand the test of time. With both exceptional build quality and solid warranties added in for good measure, it's easy to see how they earned their place as a top-tier manufacturer of cases, coolers, power supplies, and fans. With a strong track record of excellence it will be interesting to see how be quiet! continues to grow and adapt in the DIY PC component market.


In today's review, I will be putting the be quiet! Light Loop 360 to the test. Our review sample is the white version, and it comes packed with ARGB LED lighting on the pump and fans, as well as an ARGB hub to help sync all your devices. Add in a fill port and extra coolant along with a decent warranty, and you have the makings of a solid offering if performance is lives up to the looks. Considering the unit does have the offset mounting option for AMD processors I anticipate an excellent showing so let's take a closer look!

Packaging

In terms of the box and general packaging be quiet! hasn't changed much between Light Loop and previous releases. On the front you get a full color look at the Light Loop 360 with the ARGB lighting in full effect but little else. Meanwhile, the left side just denotes the product name and nothing more. However, switching over to the back be quiet! opted to detail the unit's features, including the new jet plate and cold plate designs, ARGB + PWM hub, refill port, etc.


Looking on the right side, you will find a QR code for easy access to product information while the top is much like the left side in that it has the product name and company logo but little else. Finally, the bottom has the Light Loop 360's specifications.

The internal packaging is the same as you will find in regard to most AIOs with be quiet! using a cardboard tray that provides the bulk of support and protection, along with a foam sheet that sits on top. While I would prefer to see a bit more foam or protection in general, the fact remains the cooler arrived safe and sound with no issues to speak of.


The cooler does support most mainstream sockets from AMD and Intel, including AM4 and AM5 of the former and LGA115x, LGA1200, LGA1700, LGA1851 of the latter. Beyond that you get all the parts needed to install the cooler, as expected along with a few minor extras and a bottle of coolant for refilling if needed.
