be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm AIO Review

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2023-10-12

The Pure Loop 2 FX 360 from be quiet is an improvement in terms of performance versus the Silent Loop 2 360mm we have tested a while ago, mainly due to the increased performance of the included fans, the Light Wings 120mm which now have a maximum rotational speed of 2500RPM instead of 2100. Even if the pump does have a high RPM, it remains very silent during operation thanks to the double decoupled design, while the ARGB effect complexity is managed by the system motherboard.

A Closer Look Part II

Same goes for the PWM one:

On the frame for each fan, we will note markings for the rotation direction of the blades, but also for the airflow direction:

The supplied hub is black as well and comes with mounting screws but also with a 3M double-sided tape:

The hub will receive power via external source, ARGB effects will be controlled directly by the motherboard, while the PWM fans will be regulated thanks to one of the dedicated motherboard headers:

On each side of the hub, we will note three ARGB headers and two PWM headers:

The rest of two (for a total of six) PWM headers are placed on the side; if you do not connect any fan to the header marked PWM, you won’t be able to monitor the current fan speed from the motherboard, but you will still be able to control the fan speeds!

On the back side of the hub, we do have the mounting area for the 3m tape, but also the holes for the screws:

Here are the connectors which connect to external hardware:

First, we have the ARGB connector, which will go to a 5V ARGB header on the motherboard:

The PWM connector does only have 3 contacts out of 4 in use and helps with fan monitoring/control:
