Be Quiet Pure Loop 120mm All-in-One Liquid CPU Cooler with PWM Fan for Intel and AMD Sockets

Be Quiet Pure Loop 120mm All‑In‑One Liquid CPU Cooler

The Pure Loop 120mm is a compact yet powerful all‑in‑one (AIO) liquid cooling solution designed to keep modern Intel and AMD processors operating at optimal temperatures while maintaining an ultra‑quiet profile. Its sleek black finish, copper base, and aluminum radiator combine aesthetics with performance, making it a favorite among enthusiasts who demand both silence and efficiency.

Key Design Features

• Radiator Dimensions: 12 cm wide × 15.7 cm high × 5.2 cm deep, providing ample surface area for heat dissipation in tight chassis.
• Base Material: High‑conductivity copper plated with nickel, ensuring rapid heat transfer from the CPU to the radiator fins.
• Radiator Construction: Aluminum alloy fins finished with a matte black spray paint for a clean look and reduced glare.
• Pump Motor Speed: 5,500 RPM, delivering consistent coolant flow without excessive noise.
• Fan Specification: One Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM fan (4‑pin) capable of up to 2,000 RPM; power consumption 3.6 W and maximum noise level 36.1 dB.
• LED Illumination: Optional white LED lighting integrated into the pump housing for subtle ambience.
• Connector Types: 3‑pin pump connector, 4‑pin PWM fan connector; includes an RGB splitter cable for flexible lighting control.
• Mounting Compatibility: Supports a wide range of Intel sockets (LGA 1150, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1200, LGA 2011‑v3, LGA 2066) and AMD sockets (AM3, AM3+, AM4).
• Installation Ease: Easy‑to‑access refill port for maintenance; all mounting hardware included.

Performance Overview

The Pure Loop’s copper base and aluminum fins work in tandem to extract heat from the processor efficiently. The 120mm fan, driven by PWM control, adjusts speed dynamically based on temperature readings, ensuring that cooling performance scales with workload while keeping noise levels low.

• Thermal Efficiency: Maintains CPU temperatures well below idle thresholds even under sustained heavy loads.
• Noise Profile: Minimum noise at 18.9 dB, maximum at 36.1 dB—ideal for quiet workstations and gaming rigs alike.
• Power Consumption: Pump draws 0.3 A (12 V), fan consumes 3.6 W; overall power draw remains modest compared to larger AIO units.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Case: Ensure that the case supports a 120mm radiator and has adequate clearance for the 5.2 cm depth.
2. Mount the Radiator: Secure the aluminum radiator to the rear or top of the chassis using the provided brackets; align the copper base with the CPU socket.
3. Attach the Pump: Install the pump onto the motherboard’s CPU socket, following the mounting instructions for either Intel or AMD sockets.
4. Connect Power: Plug the 3‑pin pump connector into a dedicated 12 V power supply header; connect the 4‑pin fan header to a PWM‑capable fan header on the motherboard.
5. Route Cables: Use the included RGB splitter cable if you wish to integrate LED lighting with your system’s lighting controller.
6. Fill and Seal: Open the refill port, fill the loop with the supplied coolant (or a compatible distilled water mixture), then seal the port securely.

Maintenance & Longevity

The Pure Loop is engineered for long‑term reliability. The fan’s lamellare (fluid dynamic) bearing offers an expected lifespan of 80,000 hours, while the pump’s robust design ensures consistent flow over many years. Periodic checks of coolant levels and visual inspection of seals will keep the system running smoothly.

Compatibility Matrix

Why Choose the Pure Loop?

• Silent Operation: PWM fan and efficient pump keep noise to a minimum.
