Glinde, July 28, 2026 - be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components and peripherals, is proud to announce Light Loop IO LCD, a new addition to the Light Loop all-in-one water cooling series. Designed for heavily overclocked systems, Light Loop IO LCD combines high cooling performance and whisper-quiet operation with a striking IPS display and intense RGB lighting, in 240mm and 360mm radiator sizes and in two color options (black and white). An included IO Controller enables software control, while daisy-chained Light Wings LX PWM high-speed fans and extensive customization options make Light Loop IO LCD a visually impressive and highly capable cooling solution.
“With Light Loop IO LCD, we are expanding the Light Loop series with a model that combines powerful cooling, quiet operation, and a new level of personalization,” says Aaron Licht, CEO of be quiet! “The IPS display, vivid ARGB lighting, and included IO Controller make this cooler a compelling choice for users who want high performance as well as a truly distinctive look for their system.”
Peak performance with whisper-quiet operation
Like the regular Light Loop models, Light Loop IO LCD is engineered for maximum cooling performance. A specially designed jet plate accelerates the cooling liquid flow velocity, while the cold plate with a high-density fin stack maximizes heat dissipation for today’s flagship and high-performance CPUs. A state-of-the-art pump with progressive IC minimizes switching noise for whisper-quiet pump operation, while the daisy-chained Light Wings LX PWM high-speed fans with funnel-shaped air outlets and airflow-optimized blades deliver both high performance and vibrant illumination.
Outstanding IPS display and vivid lighting
Light Loop IO LCD features an eye-catching cooling unit with a 2.1-inch IPS display with 480x480 pixel resolution and 500 nits brightness to show system information, videos, or images. The round display is paired with RGB lighting and can be customized extensively through be quiet!’s IO Center. The included IO Controller transmits signal and power to the all-in-one water cooler with a single cable. It can be magnetically attached anywhere in the case, while hidden fan cables along the tubes help create a clean appearance and reduce cable clutter. Flexible sleeved tubes ensure easy handling, and an easy-to-access refill port with included coolant bottle helps support a long lifespan.
Full control over your hardware and lighting with improved IO Center
IO Center for Windows has received a major update, now offering vivid presets and customization options for ARGB lighting, fan profiles, and system-monitoring displays. Through an intuitive interface, users can personalize the Light Loop IO LCD display with several preset or custom background effects and showcase real-time sensor data, such as CPU, GPU, or liquid temperatures and clock speeds. IO Center also supports color calibration to match LED colors with other RGB devices in your system. Backgrounds and lighting effects can be saved directly to the cooler’s onboard memory, ensuring that preferred settings remain active even when the software is not running. New in IO Center is Hardware Monitor, which provides real-time system data at a glance, keeping you informed about temperatures, frequencies, load levels, and the battery status of compatible peripherals, such as the Dark Perk
gaming mice.
Additionally, IO Center Web offers web-based access to most of these options from Windows, Mac, or Linux from most Chromium-based browsers. It runs without admin access in most environments, making it ideal for workstations and restricted systems. Settings remain active after the browser is closed because they are stored in the onboard memory.
