be quiet! Light Loop 360 AIO Cooler Review

How Much Does it Cost?

The be quiet! Light Loop 360 is available now from Amazon for just £140. That is a little on the high-end when some rival products come in at around £100 and offer impressive cooling performance of their own. However, you pay a little more and get a little more with be quiet! that easily justifies the extra cost. You get that lovely ARGB/Fan control hub included, you get much higher quality fans than what we usually see on an AIO cooler, and it comes with a refillable design, which is a rare addition even on many flagship coolers.

Conclusion

The be quiet! Light Loop 360 has got it all, and while it’s not the cheapest cooler on our testing run, it’s far from the most expensive either. It forgoes current trends such as putting a little TV on the pump, and instead focuses on extreme cooling performance that makes light work of our rather demanding i9 processor. With most high-end gaming CPUs having demanding TDPs, keeping the temps low to maintain those boost clocks while you work and play is important.

ARGB

I love the ARGB integration too, with that stunning pump design with deep grooves cut into that really breaks up the lighting, giving it lots of surface area with a unique mix of light and shadow. The colours are vibrant and bright, but they light up the cooler pump not the rest of the case, and personally, I prefer more of an assent light, not a disco ball, so a big thumbs up to be quiet! The radiator fans are similar, with consistent illumination across the fan blades, and plenty of LEDs to give them smooth lighting effects and colour fades.

Cooling

The fans are some of the best AIO fans we’ve ever seen too, able to deliver massive airflow and higher RPM than most while maintaining low acoustic performance. I do think the PWM curve is just a little higher than it needs to be though. The cooler delivered killer performance, but you can set the fans to a silent PWM curve and still get some of the best cooling performance, which would be more in line with the “be quiet” mentality.

Should I Buy One?

This is one of the nicest-looking and better-made AIO coolers on the market right now. A premium pump design, top-tier fans for massive airflow and low noise, a nicely finished radiator that even comes with a refillable design, and there’s a bottle of cooling fluid included in the box, so you can maintain the cooler’s performance over time. With an ARGB fan hub included, it really has everything you need for a premium experience, and we’d have expected nothing less from be quiet!
