Verdict

be quiet! Light Loop 360

8 / 10 Expert Rating

be quiet!'s cooling quality with a genuine RGB showcase — a strong pick for builders who want both.

DeepCool Castle 360EX

7.9 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid value-tier 360mm RGB AIO, worth buying on sale but generally outclassed by DeepCool's own newer LT720 at similar pricing.
