Review: be quiet Pure Loop 2 FX 280mm LCS
Be quiet! has redesigned its liquid cooling line, meet the Pure Loop 2 FX. Not only does the LCS CPU cooler offer fresh looks with new aRGB LEDs, but it is also more silent with a PWM-based pump. And that pump sits unusually between tubing, conceivably in order to deflect an Asetek patent.
Read the review here.

OUCH!
this is nothing against Scythe or the Mugen the company makes fabulous products and i own some.
this is about the application.
not everyone has the room for the Mugen even if they had the desire. it's routine for me to Mod systems for friends and families. i've lost count the number of times i've modded an aio w/Scythe fans.
the hottest trends in PC building the last five years are W/C, SFF, and ITX.
many case makers now have slim cases w/o the clearance for the Mugen. - right there is where you need cooling (and noise) levels to be comparable. in fact there are many cases that will take a 280mm but not a big air cooler.
and this aio doesn't need the fans to be replaced

Ok fair enough you're right about the format itself.
Still performs poor for a 280 though.
