Novelty Award for first AIO watercooling set

The international site Madshrimps has published a review of the Silent Loop 240mm, which is very positive in nature. The editor has seen AIO sets with better performance but they can never match the low noise level of the Silent Loop. As an overall package, this watercooler is highly rated and the reverse-flow pump scores big. The editor gives this cooler the Novelty Award.

“The Bequiet Silent Loop 240 is a great product, the build quality is high, the installation is child's play and the performance is on par too. The noise level is way more than acceptable; at a mere 1500rpm it is hard to judge if your setup is switched on or off. The pump remains at all costs at near silent operation, so the reverse-flow tech works! In fact it can be stated that the noise level is similar to a good mainstream DIY kit.”

Recommended Award for first AIO watercooler

The international site Guru3D has published a review of the be quiet! Silent Loop 280mm. The editor is extremely happy with the performance/noise ratio this AIO cooler offers, for both standard and overclocked scenarios. The Silent Loop is recommended to the readers of the site and therefore receives the Recommended Award.

“The Silent Loop might be a perfect product for the ones that need a little style and silence on their non-overclocked product. If you do not tweak your processor, this will be among the most silent products you have ever owned. Once you need more than 1.30 Volts on a modern age Core i7 processor (I am basing my findings on quad-core here) the product will slowly become a bit more noisy under hefty processor load. But at say 1.30 Volts you can reach 4.6~4.8 GHz on your processor cores and still find yourself in an in-audible environment, which is good. This means you'll have decent extra capacity to overclock and tweak your processor as well.”
