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.

The pump will be powered from a single PWM 4-pin connector:

 

 

 

Here are some close views at the radiator, which is covered with a matte black spray paint; the mounting holes for the fans can be easily spotted here:

 

 

 

 

An even closer inspection will reveal the radiator refill port:

 

 

 

On the frame of the radiator, be quiet has placed the product logo:

 

 

 

For fixing the fans onto the radiator, we will use the provided long screws:

 

 

 

The installation can be done quite easily; make sure that you place the cabling so it will face the back side of the motherboard when the radiator is mounted inside the case:

 

 

 

The nickel-plated copper plate has a cool mirror-finish. For testing purposes, we will use our own Noctua NH-1 paste, so it will match the one used with other coolers we have previously tested:

 

 

 

After mounting the backplate on the back side of the motherboard, using the spacers on the frontal area, mounting the brackets and securing it with four screws, we could easily install the plate onto the 13700K CPU:

 

 

 

The radiator/fan assembly was then mounted securely on the top area of the ATCS 840 case from Cooler Master:

 

 

 

Here are some photos of the RGB-enabled elements:
