be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm

Die neue be quiet! Pure Loop 2-Serie erweitert im Unternehmen das Portfolio im Bereich der All-in-One-Wasserkühlungen. Die Pure Loop 2 tritt in die Fußstapfen der Pure Loop (zum Testbericht) an und bietet nun zahlreiche Verbesserungen sowie auch gleich neue Lüfter, die im weiteren Jahresverlauf als Pure Wings 3 PWM erhältlich sein werden.

Von der grauen Maus zum kunterbunten RGB-Produkt: So will be quiet! vorhandene Kühlprodukte verwandeln. Sowohl Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm und Pure Rock 2 FX wurden dafür mit Light Wings nachgerüstet. Weil sich dadurch auch Eigenschaften wie Kühlleistung und Lautstärke ändern können, haben wir die beiden FX-Produkte extra getestet.

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 manufacturer kept it very simple in terms of fan control and ARGB lighting, offering a hub instead of a controller, so your motherboard will handle this task completely; make sure that you have a +5V ARGB header included so you’ll be able to enjoy the lighting effects goodness; there is a small drawback of the hub though: sequential effects are not possible between the connected elements. The installation procedure of the Pure Loop 2 FX is quite straight-forward and the included bundle allows compatibility with a large range of sockets. Something which not a lot of manufacturers come with is the refill port and the coolant bottle, which are useful when you decide that the cooling performance has dropped.

The be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX represents an excellent choice for consumers looking for high-end cooling performance combined with some of the best acoustic performance currently available on the market. With the added ARGB lighting too, this really does look to represent a total package that attempts to please everyone, and against the usual remit of this adage, actually succeeds in my opinion.
