The performance of this Be quiet Silent Loop 2 they confirmed what we would have expected.

Be quiet is one of the top brands for the dissipation of PC components.

I temperature test were first conducted in Idle for 10 minutes and then in full load per 10 minutes of stress test on AIDA64 Extreme.

The graph below represents the values ​​of temperature delta su environmental temperature. In other words, the environmental temperature should also be added to the numbers we see if we wanted to know an actual temperature.


Some of the data may be slightly inaccurate as we also had to apply mathematical proportions to be able to fit them all into a single graph, given the difference in ambient temperature between the different tests.

Il Silent Loop 2 da 360mm it lends itself particularly well in the chart.

If we compare it for example to two other liquid heatsinks (Fractal Design and SilentiumPc in aqua green color), we see how the performances are almost similar.


It is therefore confirmed that the mix between radiator and 120mm Silent Wings 2200RPM fans is a winning combination.

The differences with the other two AIO they are minimal, they tend not to differ much from each other and it will not be a degree of difference to decree which is the best product.

Il Silent Loop 2 It seems a semplice liquid heatsink, and in fact it is!

There are not RGB fans available, the only lighting is as we have already seen on pump.

Aesthetics are winning. I am not a fan of fans RGB as they are particularly treacherous, I love well-built, high-quality fans instead, so I'll be biased.

This is one of the most beautiful liquid coolers I've ever seen along with the Fractal Design Celsius + S36 Dynamic tested a few months ago.

Il controller provided is simple and intuitive. There is no HUB for connecting the fans logically as they are not equipped with lighting.

Le 120mm fans however, they will connect in cascade to each other and will not bother with the connection cables.

Il design is therefore clean, minimal and extremely well cared for.

It's simple to assemble, good looking and it does not even feel when it is under stress!

The only flaw is the price, which if it were a little lower would clearly be better for everyone.

It is not a product to aim for quality / price but if you want the top at any cost no expense spared!
