Introduction

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

Be quiet! has quite the reputation among PC enthusiasts thanks in part to their continued pursuit of delivering silence-focused PC components. From cases, coolers, power supplies, and fans, they have a diverse range of products that meet the needs of end users wanting a quiet system hence the name. Add in stellar build quality, a solid warranty, and fantastic performance; it is no wonder they continue to find success.


In today's review, I will be putting be quiet! newest all-in-one liquid cooler, the Pure Loop 2 FX 280 mm, to the test. Compared to the previous generation, the new model offers ARGB lighting on the fans and CPU block, along with a few other nifty features. Much like its predecessor, it features a decoupled pump that is placed on the tubing rather than in the CPU block or radiator that the majority of competing options utilize. Therefore its design is somewhat different from the norm, and at least on the surface, it has the specifications and pedigree to be a standout offering, so without further delay, let's take a closer look.
