In multiple ways, the be quiet! Light Loop 360mm delivers on what you might want in a colorful and capable AIO cooler. Out of the box, everything is as you expect with a few additional goodies. All the elements making up the closed-loop cooler are made well with decent material choices. The aluminum radiator is standard, as is the braided rubber tubing that connects to the combination pump and CPU contact block. There is a bit of flair with this contact block, as it has a unique top to diffuse the light effects within. The bottom makes contact via a nickel-plated, copper cold plate. Three Light Wings LX fans add to this flair, making for a total of 64 lights all around the AIO cooler. Installation of the be quiet! Light Loop 360mm is a straightforward process with nothing out of the ordinary. Once installed, you will see it struck a good balance of cooling without making a racket. It might not have matched the best load temperature results, but it was still respectable in our performance evaluation. Better yet, both the lights and fan speeds are synchronized with the included controller, reducing the number of headers on the motherboard this needs to occupy. Other things I appreciate include the extra bottle of coolant and the tube of thermal paste. If there were any areas of improvement, I still would like to see the radiator with some sort of protection under the mounting hole as well as longer tubing. I also am a bit disappointed with the marks left on the CPU contact plate, although it did not seem to affect its ability too much. At the time of review, the Light Loop 360mm retails for $160. This is on the expensive side, even if you consider the additions. If you are willing to pay for a tastefully colorful look, the be quiet! Light Loop 360mm is a good option.
