Be Quiet! Introduces the Silent Loop Series AIO Liquid Coolers

Be Quiet!, the market leader in PC power supplies in Germany for ten consecutive years, today introduces its line of Silent Loop All-in-One water cooling systems. Through the use of an innovative decoupled reverse-flow pump, Silent Loop delivers high-performance cooling at a minimal sound level, guaranteeing quiet, efficient cooling for overclocked and high TDP CPUs in high-power computer systems. To ensure compatibility with all types of performance-heavy PCs, be quiet! offers three different Silent Loop models.

Be Quiet! equips its Silent Loop All-in-One water cooling system with a decoupled pump designed to reverse the cooling circuit. Liquid is drawn in from the outside over the cold plate, then transported through a second layer on the inside of the radiator. This innovative solution operates the pump at a low 2,200 revolutions per minute, noticeably generating less vibration and noise than other conventional AIO coolers.
To achieve the best cooling performance, be quiet! equips Silent Loop with a black-coated, full copper radiator. The base is made of copper as well, preventing electrochemical corrosion when exposed to liquid and guaranteeing durability. Additionally, the cold plate of the cooling unit is nickel-plated. This facilitates the usage of liquid metal instead of regular thermal grease as a heat conductor between the cooler and CPU. Lastly, be quiet! integrates a refill port for proper coolant leveling after prolonged use, preserving continuous performance and low noise levels.

All three models of the Silent Loop All-in-One water cooling system combine a copper radiator with a pair of the be quiet!'s own Pure Wings 2 fans. The PWM fans offer high static pressure at extremely low-noise operation, while fan speed is optimized and regulated based on load. The unique combination of the Pure Wings 2 fans, the radiator, and the cooling unit with its copper base and reverse-flow pump guarantees Silent Loop's high cooling performance.

Thanks to flexible bend-protecting tubes, the Silent Loop All-in-One water cooling system is easy to handle. Even in smaller or compact enclosures the installation is effortless. This is also accomplished by a well-designed mounting kit.

In order to provide the best possible performance for high-power and silent systems of various sizes, be quiet! offers Silent Loop in three models that differ in size and cooling performance. The Silent Loop 280mm and Silent Loop 240mm accommodate two side-by-side mounted 140-millimeter and 120-millimeter Pure Wings 2 fans, respectively, while the Silent Loop 120mm uses two 120-millimeter Pure Wings 2 fans in a push-pull configuration. All models are compatible with the latest Intel and AMD sockets.

The innovative Silent Loop All-in-One water cooling system is available now for an MSRP of €109.90 / £94.99 (Silent Loop 120mm), €129.90 / £109.99 (Silent Loop 240mm) or €149.90 / £129.99 (Silent Loop 280mm), and each unit includes a 3-year manufacturer's warranty.

Looks like Asstek might be going after BeQuite if these AIOs are offered stateside.

What makes you think Asetek isn't an OEM/ODM for these?

I believe the OEM is alphacool but I could be wrong.

ZoneDymoagain I want to ask why dont more companies do something like this:

And avoid going with the Asetek herd....
Price its something important for big companies, also is production, market and the most important thing, the profit they will gain with a product, and when the costs of branding are higher... the profit company will gain is lower...

pat-ronerMostly because of cost.
aldo5maybe (just maybe) because that unit costs 250$... basically a price of x2 times normal 240mm aio's or even x3 times "noctua NH-15"-type of air coolers

Well is it not pricey because its from a premium premium brand?
I mean all Im asking for is that that pump is moved from the cpu block to the radiator to avoid patent issues with asetek and to be able to use a clean simple effective waterblock on the cpu.
Why would that suddenly increase the price? infact I would think it would be easier to make a separate little pump unit than to combine it with a cpu block, if anything cost should go down.

they have to do the research, tests, that costs money, the asetke design and patents have been there already, so its easier to ask asetek and pay rights ... than develop, invent....

The tech for a pump is there as well....has been there for a lot longer then asetek.

You argument for going with the asetek design is that the alternative needs research, money etc.
But the traditional design of a watercooling loop has been around way longer then the Asetek AIO design.
So no, no research is really needed, all the research is pretty much done.

Just slap a small cooler at the end of the radiator instead of putting it in some combo on the cpu block and there ya go.

agreed, the design idea still there, and yes its pretty old, but you might start over and design a new block, attach a waterpump, some fittings, a rad and also some lines for making the water going, that closed loop might new to be designed and created and that process sir needs a great work, thats why "Brands" simple gets agreements with companies like asetek for making it easier and put all the develop again, thats my point, i do respect your also.
