be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm AIO Liquid Cooler Review

be quiet! undoubtedly represents one of the most premium and respected brands when it comes to their cooling solutions. Having reviewed many of them in the past, I have never failed to be impressed with their performance, and, of course, the amazingly low levels of acoustic output. – With the newly released be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX, however, we have something a little different to their usual ‘norm’.

Following on from prior product releases last year, the be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX represents their latest cooling product to feature ARGB lighting. – No, don’t worry, be quiet! hasn’t abandoned consumers who don’t like ARGB products, but for those of you who do, the Pure Loop 2 FX is well worth checking out as a new and very impressive AIO liquid cooler product!

be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX

The Pure Loop 2 FX is available in a 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm configuration. For this specific review, however, we’ll be taking a closer look at the top-spec 360mm variant (and no, not just because we like big things). – Offering high levels of cooling performance with bright and vibrant ARGB lighting to both the CPU block and radiator fans, I think that the be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX is looking to strike a balance between sleek and stylish aesthetics while offering something for those who want to take things to the next visual level.

Overall, it packs a lot of impressive features and is clearly looking to represent itself as a flagship product for be quiet!. Something, I suspect, that’s going to be more than warranted as we take a closer look at it during this review!

What Does be quiet! Have To Say?

“Compared to the current Pure Loop series, Pure Loop 2 FX brings stunning improvements to the table for this AIO water cooler: the white LEDs around the cooling block are replaced with ARGB LEDs, while the Pure Wings 2 PWM high-speed fans on the radiator make room for Light Wings PWM high-speed fans for higher static pressure and better visual effects. By popular demand the pump is now PWM-adjustable, allowing better fine-tuning of the performance/noise balance. On top of that, the water cooler includes an ARGB and PWM fan hub.”
