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 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.

The installation procedure on the AM4 platform does make use of an extra set of thicker washers, but also the stock AMD backplate; some manufacturers do use the backplates with a bit of adhesive on them, which does help a bit when mounting the pump onto the CPU.

 

While the SILENT LOOP 240mm remains dead silent in less intensive tasks or games, when we do start hammering the CPU with stress testing tools such as Prime95 (Blend), the fans can rev up to their maximum rotational speed, while producing 46.1 dBA (still acceptable considering that we are dealing with an overclocked system and high summer temperatures).

 

The be quiet! SILENT LOOP 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler can be found online for about 119 Euros.
