be quiet! launches Pure Loop Liquid CPU Cooler (w/ pump located at tubing)
Pure Loop is the water cooling unit of choice for all price-conscious users that seek high performance and silent operation. Features like a doubly decoupled pump, noise-optimized Pure Wings 2 fans, an easy-to-access refill port and flexible sleeved tubes.
To match individual cooling requirements, Pure Loop will be available with four different radiator sizes: 120mm, 240mm, 280mm, and 360mm.
Doubly decoupled pump for silent and reliable cooling
Pure Loop water cooling units have a doubly decoupled pump to reduce the transfer of vibrations. By being mounted on the tubes, the pump case is decoupled from the CPU cooling block and radiator. On top of that, rubber pads inside the housing of the pump unit add an additional layer of decoupling. Additionally, be quiet! includes up to three Pure Wings 2 fans, which feature nine airflow-optimized fan blades for a perfect airflow and a low noise level. A nickel-coated coldplate ensures efficient cooling performance for all mainstream desktop processors and allows the use of liquid metal thermal compound.
The highly flexible sleeved tubes allow for a convenient installation even in cases with restricted space and increase the lifespan of the Pure Loop by preventing tube fractures, even over time. As a testament to the reliability of the new water cooler series be quiet! has implemented an easy-to-access refill port on the radiator, so the cooling liquid can be topped up every two years or when required, for maximum performance over a long lifespan. A 100ml bottle of coolant is included in the retail box and should last for at least six top-ups.
Eye-catching design with subtle LED lighting
Pure Loop is not only meant to set a high standard in affordable water cooling performance, but also in appearance. To that end, be quiet! has opted for an all-black design of the fans, radiator and tubes that will look great in every PC case. The black design is accentuated by the brushed aluminum-style cooling block, which is elevated visually with subtle white LED illumination. This makes Pure Loop a true eye-catcher.
Four models with full mainstream desktop socket support
Thanks to a convenient mounting system, Pure Loop supports all current desktop processors from Intel and AMD, with the exception of AMD Threadripper (Socket TR4/sTRX4). Pure Loop will be available in four different sizes with model recommendations based on the intended platform usage:
Pure Loop 120mm |
Intel Core i3, AMD Ryzen 3 (or lower) |
Pure Loop 240mm |
Intel Core i5, AMD Ryzen 5 |
Pure Loop 280mm |
Intel Core i5/i7, AMD Ryzen 5/7 |
Pure Loop 360mm |
Intel Core i7/i9, AMD Ryzen 7/9 |
Pure Loop will be available for purchase from October 6 at a suggested retail price of $84.90/£82.99/€84.90 (120mm), $94.90/£92.99/€94.90 (240mm), $104.90/£102.99/€104.90 (280mm) and $119.90/£114.99/€119.90 (360mm).

Hmm this looks to be an intriguing product, and since it's BeQuiet, it should actually be relatively well made as well.
The bottle of fluid that comes with the kit has me intrigued as well. If the fluid can be changed in this that means we could keep this kit going for practically forever unlike many sealed models that eventually dry up, making this unit the perfect GPU cooler or long life CPU.
Looking forward to seeing reviews of this one specially stacked against my Arctic 360 with the vrm fan which is top dog right now.
Hopefully Hilbert reviews the 360 model, ha.

So a bottle with fluid, but no level/flow sensor that tells you its low,
nor a res, so wanna see how many will start having leaks after copmpletely filling it,
without any air left that can "buffer" pressure changes due to temp differences.
Besides not having the hose-pump, the Eisbaer AIOs cost about the same,
come with a res (with window so you see the level) and uses all g1/4 stuff,
so anything can be replaced/upgraded like on a custom loop.

Totally agree that was my start with liquid cooling from an AIO and its basically a custom loop in a box much better value and will last forever with proper care
mine now has added a second reservoir and pump with a graphics loop an extra rad and new pipes

Huh, that's an interesting location for a pump. And certainly avoids Asetek's patent whilst maintaining radiator compatibility with cases. Cable management should be easier too since it's closer to the radiator, although that pesky RGB cable means the CPU block still has a cable coming out of it... wonder if having the RGB cable follow the tubing under the braided sleeving so that it comes out with the pump header would be difficult and/or expensive to do?
