Thus, they have earned their popularity and devoted following by sticking with a simple mantra of “no compromise silence and performance.”

In today’s review, I look at the be quiet! Pure Loop 280, which belongs to an all-new lineup of all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. Utilizing the design and styling cues from the company’s Pure series of products, which includes air coolers and cases.

All told, it’s quite the attractive option at a relatively affordable price.
