Today we're taking a look at the new be quiet! Light Loop IO LCD 360, a premium 360mm AIO liquid cooler designed to combine high-performance cooling with a fully customisable 2.1-inch IPS LCD and ARGB lighting. It also includes be quiet!'s new IO Controller for simplified cable management and complete software control. In this review, we'll be testing installation, build quality, acoustics and, of course, thermal performance to see how it stacks up against the competition.

Features:

2.1-inch IPS LCD display – Light Loop IO LCD features a high-resolution 480 x 480 IPS display, which can show live system monitoring, custom images, GIFs and videos, with extensive customisation available through be quiet!'s IO Centre software.
Whisper-quiet cooling performance – A redesigned pump with an advanced integrated circuit, precision jet plate and high-density cold plate are combined with Light Wings LX high-speed fans to deliver high cooling performance while keeping operating noise to a minimum.
Clean installation and intelligent control – The included IO Controller carries power, PWM, ARGB and display signals over a single cable, while daisy-chained fans and hidden cabling make for a much cleaner build and simplified installation.
