Be Quiet Silent Loop 360 AIO CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by leeghoofd @ 2017-12-29

At Computex 2017, Be Quiet introduced to the press an upcoming addition to their Silent Loop AIO series, the 360 model, featuring as you could have guessed a massive 360 radiator. The new flagship should top the cooling performance of the 240 and even the 280 model. Be Quiet has received many awards over the last decade and has established itself as one of the market leaders in quiet, yet powerful power supplies and processor cooling gear. Especially their Silent Wings fan series are loved by watercooling purists as these fans feature an excellent combination between airflow/pressure and silent operation. Time to open the box Be Quiet send to the MadShrimps lab. We were keen to test the new 360 Silent Loop version.

A Dloser Look Part II

We already mentioned this loop is ugradable? Sure we did and thus we find them typical Alphacool fittings on the pump and radiator. One can change tubing, fluids, maybe even add an extra waterblock, though considering the performance of the little pump/cooling unit we would not really recommend this.

Be Quiet includes three 120 PWM versions of their renown Pure Wings 2. We are mentioning beefed up as the 120mm PWM versions included with our Silent Loop 360 have a maximum rotational speed of 2000RPM. For your info a Standard Be Quiet version is limited at 1500RPM; this means in our case more airflow and a higher static pressure. A minor side effect might be a bit more noise. The original Pure Wings are rated for less than 20dBA; the boxed versions are rated up to +/- 37dBA. All fans are hooked up to the motherboard via a 3-way splitter, thus fan adjustment has to be achieved via the motherboard BIOS or via software in the OS. Maybe not a bad idea as many people are getting tired of using 3rd party software to control the fans.
