We were able to visit the be quiet! stand at Computex and discover all their new products. Among them, the brand is very ambitious with its new AIO Pure Loop 3 watercooling range, available in RGB and non-RGB versions. Before going into detail, it’s clear that with its huge customisation potential and particularly aggressive prices, be quiet! already has two solid arguments in its favour.
be quiet! Pure Loop 3: 1 system, 2 versions
As you can see from the two photos above, on the right you have the PURE LOOP 3, a sober, classic design that allows you to build a streamlined configuration. On the left is the PURE LOOP 3 LX, recognisable by its RGB.
Let’s get into the details of the Pure Loop 3 first. There are 3 versions in this range, with 240 mm, 280 mm and 360 mm radiators . The Pure Wings 3 PWM fans are located next to these radiators . The other advantage of this range is its relatively aggressive pricing. The 360 mm version is priced at 104.90 euros, the 280 mm version at 99.90 euros and the 240 mm version at 84.90 euros. However, you’ll have to wait until August to find them in stores.
As far as the Pure Loop 3 LX range is concerned, we’re obviously moving up the technical specs scale. But the first two things that stand out are the ARGB lighting and the numerous customisation options, with a selection of 10 interchangeable caps for the pump head. Changing and manipulating these is a breeze. These caps give you access to unique lighting effects and a personalised style. In practice, all you have to do is slip on a frame of laminated patterns (all 10 are included) – a pretty simple idea, but one that can also give you ideas for customising and creating your own caps.
But let’s get back to the pump. This is based on a top-of-the-range PWM pump with a 6-pole motor. The brand claims that this solution considerably reduces vibrations while maintaining a high level of performance. Finally, the brand uses its Light Wings LX fans in this range. These are connected in a chain, making them easy to assemble.
There are just two models in this range: a 240mm model priced at 99.90 euros and a 360mm model priced at 119.90 euros. Despite the move upmarket, the prices are still very contained. Once again, we’ll have to wait until August to see them in stores.
