be quiet! Pure Loop 280
7.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A quiet, no-frills AIO that does exactly what it says, aimed squarely at builders who have no interest in RGB lighting.
NZXT X63
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
Solid 280mm cooling with NZXT's signature look, best for cases sized for 280mm rather than 360mm radiators.
