Legendary PC component manufacturer be quiet! has just announced the Light Loop IO LCD, the latest addition to its flagship liquid cooling range and as the name suggests, it features an LCD display! Tailored for overclocked setups, the new all-in-one (AIO) cooler integrates high-capacity cooling setup with customisable visuals, including a vibrant IPS panel and vivid ARGB lighting in both 240mm and 360mm radiator form factors, as well as in black and white finishes.

The standout feature of the Light Loop IO LCD is its 2.1-inch round IPS display, boasting a 480×480 resolution and 500 nits brightness. This screen allows PC builders to display real-time system metrics, static images, or animated GIFs. 500 nits is pretty bright too, so this thing should really pop!
“With Light Loop IO LCD, we are expanding the Light Loop series with a model that combines powerful cooling, quiet operation, and a new level of personalisation,” said Aaron Licht, CEO of be quiet! “The IPS display, vivid ARGB lighting, and included IO Controller make this cooler a compelling choice for users who want high performance as well as a truly distinctive look for their system.”
Hardware parameters, illumination, and display profiles are managed through an updated IO Center application for Windows, alongside a browser-based IO Center Web alternative compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. System settings and customized lighting profiles can be stored directly onto the cooler’s onboard memory, retaining preferences even without background software active.
Engineered to handle the latest high-TDP processors, the Light Loop IO LCD utilises a specialised jet plate to accelerate coolant flow, paired with a high-density fin cold plate. A progressive IC pump engine minimises operational switching noise to maintain silent running conditions. While airflow is handled by daisy-chained Light Wings LX PWM high-speed fans featuring funnel-shaped outlets and optimised blades for high static pressure.
Clean Cable Routing and Easy Maintenance
To simplify build management, an included magnetic IO Controller handles signal and power routing to the AIO unit via a single main lead. Fan power and ARGB cables are routed discreetly alongside the flexible sleeved tubing to prevent clutter around the CPU socket. To ensure long-term usability, the radiator features an accessible refill port and ships with a dedicated coolant bottle.
