be quiet! SILENT LOOP 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler Revisited on Ryzen

Cooling/CPU Cooling by stefan @ 2017-06-13

The SILENT LOOP 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler from be quiet! is built in cooperation with Alphacool from high quality components, which can be often found on custom loops. While the installation procedure may be a little tricky for people that haven’t got in contact with liquid cooling systems before, all can be performed flawlessly if we do follow the instructions from the manual. Besides the reverse-flow pump and the 277 x 124 x 30 radiator, we do also get two Pure Wings 2 120mm fans which can rotate up to 2000RPM; this model does rely completely on the fan speed regulation of the motherboard, so we may get different results depending on the preset fan curve of each manufacturer.

The fittings are made of metal for a professional look but also for durability; these are usually found with custom loop setups:

 

 

 

A brushed aluminum cover can be found on the top pump area, with a middle manufacturer logo; we can see again two more metallic fittings, while the cut-away corners give the pump an unique look:

 

 

 

 

On the side of the pump, we do have a power cable, but also one port for actually refilling the unit, as seen in the product manual:

 

 

 

The contact plate on the bottom is quite large and has a mirror look, something we haven’t seen with other AIOs in like….ages:

 

 

 

The pump power connector was also designed for reporting the internal RPM and comes with three wires:
