be quiet! Pure Loop 3 360mm Water Cooling - BW029EU

be quiet! Pure Loop 3 360mm is a high-end liquid cooling solution aimed at serious gaming and productivity configurations, where you want stable temperatures and a cleaner interior appearance of the case. With a 360 mm radiator and three 120 mm fans, it is designed to handle demanding CPUs and long gaming sessions without gasping for air. PWM control via a 4-pin connector allows you to adjust the fan curves according to your noise and temperature requirements. The combination of high airflow and decent static pressure makes it a very flexible solution for various cases and scenarios.

What you get is a complete 360 mm AIO solution that easily covers modern platforms – from AM4 and AM5 to LGA 1200, LGA 1700, and even LGA 1851. The radiator dissipates heat more efficiently due to the three 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans, which can spin from 300 to 2100 RPM – from nearly silent idle to aggressive cooling under load. The total airflow of 178.8 CFM means you can expel a serious amount of hot air from the case without needing to add more fans. The noise level of up to 37.2 dBA is a reasonable compromise, as at lower speeds you will keep the system significantly quieter while still well-cooled. This way you get control – you decide whether the priority is acoustics or thermal headroom.

• 360 mm radiator provides a large surface area for heat exchange, which helps for lower temperatures on demanding CPU configurations.
• Three 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans distribute airflow across the entire radiator, so there are no “dead zones” and cooling is more uniform.
• Wide range of 300–2100 RPM allows you to set the system from nearly silent operation to maximum cooling during heavy gaming or rendering.
• Airflow of 178.8 CFM means very serious capacity for expelling warm air, which also helps the other components in the case.
• Static pressure of 2.41 mmH2O helps the fans to “push” air through the dense fins of the radiator without a sharp drop in efficiency.
• 4-pin fan connector provides full PWM control via the motherboard or software, for fine fan curves according to CPU temperature.
• Support for AM4, AM5, and LGA 115x/1200/1700/1851 gives you the freedom to use it with current and future platform upgrades without changing the cooling solution.

Who it is suitable for: if you are building a mid-range to high-end gaming or work build with modern Intel or AMD processors and want better thermal control than a standard air cooler, this cooling solution is a logical choice. It is also suitable if you plan a case with clean internal airflow and prefer the radiator to handle most of the heat. It is not the most sensible option for very budget or lightly loaded systems, where a smaller radiator or air cooler will do the same job.

In short, Pure Loop 3 360mm impresses with a combination of a large 360 mm radiator, three PWM fans, and wide compatibility with sockets, giving you flexibility for the current build and future upgrades. If you are looking for a balance between powerful liquid cooling and noise control, this model fits perfectly into that niche.
