Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm ARGB CPU Liquid Cooler - Quiet High Performance

In this review the Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm is evaluated as a high-capacity All-in-One liquid cooler aimed at users who want strong thermal performance plus RGB flair. The review finds it most compelling for gamers and content creators using Intel or AMD mainstream and high-end chips who need a reliable cooler that reduces CPU temperatures while remaining quiet. Its combination of three 120mm Light Wings PWM fans, a doubly decoupled PWM pump, and an ARGB-PWM-Hub makes the unit stand out for both cooling and system lighting control.

Key Features

• Socket Compatibility: Supports Intel 1700, 1200, 2066, 1150, 1151, 1155 and 2011(-3) Square ILM and AMD AM5/AM4, so it fits most modern consumer motherboards.
• Cooling Array: The 360mm radiator with three 120mm Light Wings PWM high-speed fans delivers high air pressure for consistent heat dissipation under sustained loads.
• Quiet Operation: A doubly decoupled PWM pump minimizes vibration and reduces mechanical noise for a quieter system during heavy CPU use.
• ARGB Illumination: Vibrant ARGB lighting on all three fans plus an ARGB-PWM-Hub lets users synchronize up to six ARGB components and PWM fans for coordinated lighting and fan control.
• Serviceable Design: An easy-to-access refill port and included coolant bottle extend service life and simplify maintenance when compared with sealed AIOs.
• Finish and Fit: All-black design with an aluminum-style top gives a premium look that integrates well in dark builds while keeping focus on the RGB fans.

Who It's For

The Pure Loop 2 FX 360mm is best for PC builders who run demanding applications or overclock CPUs and need a reliable 360mm solution that balances maximum cooling with low noise. Gamers, streamers and creators using Intel Core i3 through i9 or AMD Ryzen 3 through 9 families will find the compatibility and cooling capacity appropriate.

It is less suitable for ultra-compact cases that cannot accommodate a 360mm radiator or for buyers who want a completely sealed, maintenance-free AIO; the refill port is a benefit for longevity but does require occasional attention compared with sealed alternatives.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent cooling capacity from the triple 120mm Light Wings fans and 360mm radiator for lowered CPU temps under load.
• Quiet operation thanks to the doubly decoupled PWM pump and well-tuned fan profiles noted by users.
• Strong build quality and premium feel with attractive ARGB fans and coordinated illumination through the ARGB-PWM-Hub.
• Refill port and included coolant add to longevity and make maintenance straightforward.

Cons

• Requires space for a 360mm radiator, so it will not fit in smaller cases and needs planning during a build.
• Some users may prefer a fully sealed AIO to avoid any manual coolant maintenance, even though the refill system is convenient.
