Who each one is for

The be quiet! Light Loop 360 is the one to take for High-TDP flagship CPUs needing 360mm cooling and RGB-themed cases with front or top radiator mounts, though it is the wrong buy for silence-first builds (see Pure Loop 2 instead) and cases limited to 240mm radiator space. The same goes for showcase builds wanting be quiet! build quality. it is not the pick for buyers who prefer subtle, non-RGB aesthetics and the smallest cases, given the 360mm radiator footprint. It also earns its place with buyers who want a strong triple-fan RGB visual statement over a pump-head display. Avoid it for buyers who specifically want a pump-head LCD, where the Galahad II LCD 360, covered elsewhere on this site, has one.
