be quiet! AIO liquid cooler releases

Overview

In July 2026, German PC‑component maker be quiet! expanded its all‑in‑one (AIO) water‑cooling lineup with the Silent Loop 3. The third‑generation unit adds a three‑chamber pump to cut vibration, a larger 1 800 mm² cooling block for faster heat transfer, upgraded Silent Wings 4 fans for higher static pressure, and ARGB lighting controllable via motherboard or an external controller. The product targets high‑end CPUs such as the Ryzen 5 7600X. In a concurrent benchmark of eight 360‑mm AIO coolers from various manufacturers, testing on an Intel Core i9‑12900K showed that price alone does not guarantee superior cooling or lower noise.

A week later, be quiet! announced the Light Loop IO LCD series, offered in 240 mm and 360 mm radiator sizes and in black or white finishes. These kits feature a 2.1‑inch IPS LCD screen that can display system data, images or GIFs, and integrate with the company’s IO Center software for lighting and fan‑curve customization. The design includes an updated CPU block, refined pump and cold plate, high‑speed Light Wings LX PWM fans, concealed cabling, sleeved tubing, and a refill port with a supplied coolant bottle. Prices start at £159.99 for the 240 mm model and £179.99 for the 360 mm model.

Further details on the Light Loop IO LCD 360 reveal the 2.1-inch display has a 480 x 480 resolution and 500 nits of brightness. The series utilizes a proprietary IO Controller to centralize management of the pump, fans, ARGB lighting, and the LCD screen. The unit features an aluminum radiator and supports various sockets, including Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 115X, and AMD AM5 and AM4.
