Review: be quiet! Silent Loop 360 LCS kit
We review the new be quiet! Silent Loop 360, an All-in-One Liquid cooling kit that is very decent in performance with a 360mm rad and three Pure Wings 2 fans. These liquid cooling kits are pre-fitted with a single loop and ready to install straight out of the box.

I don't think it would make a massive difference or more accurately perhaps wouldn't make any difference at all - the bottleneck in heat transfer is the rubbish thermal paste that Intel use inbetween their silicon chip and the IHS. Now, if you delid the CPU and replace the rubbish Intel thermal paste with liquid metal, then that would be an interesting inclusion into these cooling tests, because it would better expose the limitations & capacities of these cooling systems. As it stands now we can't really see the limits of these cooling systems because the thermal paste inbetween the CPU & IHS is the limiting factor. (In fact the full capacities of these cooling systems in terms of Watts of cooling is nowhere near being used, the heat can't transfer through the crappy Intel thermal paste fast enough to challenge these cooling systems).

the 240mm one is really fiddly to put on. The 4 screws can move and it makes paste application a nightmare you'll need to try a few times. Still going to 80c on a 7700k

It works as designed. I mean your CPU.
