be quiet! Pure Loop 240mm

Die be quiet Pure Loop ist zwar keine Silent-Wasserkühlung, schafft den Spagat zwischen Leistung und Lautstärke aber durchaus gut. Besonders angenehm ist die Wasserkühlung im Leerlauf, da agiert sie ausgesprochen leise.

Mit der Pure Loop Serie folgt von be quiet! ein neuer Anlauf im AIO-Markt ein neuer Anlauf, der vor allem preisbewusste User ansprechen soll, die zwar auf "Schnick-Schnack" aber nicht auf Kühlleistung und eine dezente Optik bei einer AIO verzichten wollen. Die neue Kühlung wird es in den Radiatorgrößen von 120, 240, 280 und 360-mm angeboten. Das Ganze in einem Preisbereich von 85 bis ca. 120 Euro. Wir schauen uns die 240-Version genauer an.

Mit der Pure Loop-Serie möchte be quiet preisbewusste Anwender ansprechen, die aber nicht auf Kühlleistung verzichten möchten. Dieses Ziel erreicht be quiet! mit der Pure Loop 240 in unserem Test auch. Für einen Preis von ca. 95 Euro bekommt man neben einer guten Kühlleistung auch eine schöne und dezente Optik, eben typisch be quiet!.

Pure Loop 240mm is built from high-quality materials, is easy to install thanks to the provided instructions and provides an innovative pump design for eliminating noise and vibrations inside the case. While this version of the Pure Loop is indicated as recommended for i3/i5 processors from Intel, it could handle the power-hungry i7-12700K CPU as well, by keeping the temperatures under TjMAX, while the noise levels remained at low levels due to the use of two Pure Wings 2 120mm fans.

Right at the beginning of this review, we suggested that although not releasing with a particularly large amount of fanfare, be quiet! was seemingly somewhat pleased with what they had achieved here with the Pure Loop design. Now that we’ve had a look at the cooler components and test results, although I always suspected that the Pure Loop 240mm was always going to be very good, even I’ll admit that this was massively better than even my wildest expectations.

I came in excited to see what a company like be quiet! could do when finally getting into the all in one market and they didn’t disappoint. They avoided going with just the standard OEM setup with their branding on it. Especially on the pump side where they changed things up completely. The radiator is mostly like an OEM design with its aluminum design and it has the same fin spacing and thickness as any other AIO. Where it does stand out however is be quiet! supporting topping the coolant off in the loop with an easy to use fill port and them including coolant with everything. They suggest topping things off every two years and any other time it is needed and this should help a lot with the overall life of the system. Especially when paired with be quiet! fans which have an 80,000 hour expected life.
