Closer Look

The be quiet! Light Loop 240 comes in its recognizable packaging with images of the AIO and its pump, featuring a black box and white text.

There’s nothing special for its unboxing as it is like other brands with just a simple packaging.

Inside, you will find the accessories in the ziplock plastic, such as the Intel backplate, screws, standoffs, Intel and AMD brackets, extra thermal grease, and cable ties. The two Light Wings LX 120 fans, the extra coolant, the fan hub, and some documentation and the user’s manual are also included.

Lastly, the be quiet! Light Loop 240 AIO Cooler itself.

The top part of the waterblock has a translucent gray plastic with a fins like design and on top of it is the be quiet! logo. This will act as the light diffuser of the water block.

The overall body of the waterblock is made from plastic.

The cold plate of the Light Loop 240 is made from copper with a nickel finish to prevent corrosion.

The pump is controlled by the 4-pin pump connector, and the ARGB lighting is controlled by the 3-pin ARGB connector that should be connected to your motherboard headers.

The radiator is your typical aluminum radiator with no screw protectors and has a cross-flow design on the fins.

Design wise, it is just a rectangular block with some diagonal lines on the sides to add a little bit of flair. This radiator is also refillable to extend its life.

The tube is your typical rubber tubes with sleeves.

The fans are the Light Wings LX Fans. The fan blades are like diffusers to spread the RGB lighting from the center of the fan and flow throughout the fan blades. be quiet! claimed these fans are utilized to have high airflow but low noise.

The fans can be controlled using the 4-pin fan connector for speed and the 3-pin ARGB connector for lighting.

This AIO also provides an ARGB fan hub to make connections much easier, which is powered by a SATA cable.

Conclusion

The be quiet! Light Loop 240 steps in as one of the brand’s more stylish AIO options, and right out of the box, you can already tell it’s built well. The overall design feels premium without being overly loud, and everything has that clean, refined look be quiet! is known for.

One interesting thing here is the refill port. Not a lot of AIOs today allow you to top up the coolant if evaporation happens over time. It’s a small detail but something DIY-minded users might appreciate, especially for long-term maintenance.

Price-wise, it does sit a little higher than its sibling, the Pure Loop 2 240. But the extra cost really goes into aesthetics and refinement. If you want something that looks better on your build without sacrificing performance, that premium makes sense.

Overall, the be quiet! Light Loop 240 is a well-rounded AIO that leans into style without forgetting the fundamentals: performance, build quality, and low noise. It’s a prettier, more expressive option from the brand while still behaving like a proper be quiet! cooler should. If you’re after cooling with sparkle but still want that signature silence, this AIO is an easy one to consider.
