The Silent Loop 3 is the latest product from be quiet! So far the company hasn't had a 420mm AIO product, but with the Silent Loop 3 series, now is presented with all of its glory. Compared with the be quiet! Light Loop series, we can see different fans and base designs. The Silent Loop 3 has the best that be quiet! offers and now supports even the AMD TR4/TR5 socket, not something that easily can be found with AIO coolers. The base now has a much higher area to cover so it's possible to get TR4/TR5 compatible CPUs.

The Silent Loop 3 series can be found in 240mm, 360mm, and 420mm sizes. There is only one color (black) and the retail box is very big since it's a 420mm product. Also, it includes all the needed cables/screws/accessories you might need to install it, either on Intel or AMD platforms. There is also a port to fill the AIO after using it for two years, again not that many other vendors offer it. The installation process is very easy to follow and be quiet! has included a printed manual and of course you can view official online product videos if you are an amateur in the whole cooling scene. We didn't have any major issues and you must follow some basic rules to keep performance at max levels. There will be no problem with big-sized RAM modules and the included long (400mm) hose tubes you will fit the Silent Loop 3, even at full ATX cases. We would want to have longer tubes (450mm).

Passing to the performance area, this is a top performer and it cannot hide it. Users can set their preferred RPM curve fan, even for our tests, we are using the basic same fan curve for all tests. Using the AMD 7950X manages to drop performance very low compared with an air cooler so users can enjoy much lower temperatures, even at full load. The noise levels are controlled since be quiet! is using their latest and best Silent Wings 4 fans. Looking at retail price, this product is high priced around 175 Euro, making it higher priced compared with other products. Overall, we liked the be quiet! Silent Loop 3 for its increased 420mm size the overall stealth look and the new ARGB design base. If you can afford the retail price, be quiet! have you covered with a 3-year warranty as well.
