be quiet! has announced the new Light Loop IO LCD all in one liquid CPU cooler. The new cooler is built for users who want strong cooling performance, quiet operation, and a stylish look inside their PC. It will be available in both 240 mm and 360 mm sizes, with black and white color options.

The biggest highlight is the 2.1 inch IPS display on the pump block. The screen has a 480 x 480 resolution with 500 nits brightness, allowing users to display system information, custom images, or even short videos while the PC is running.

The cooler is designed for high-end processors and overclocked systems. It uses a specially designed jet plate to improve coolant flow and a dense fin stack to remove heat more efficiently. The updated pump is also made to reduce noise, helping the system stay quiet even under heavy workloads.

Cooling is handled by Light Wings LX PWM high speed fans, which feature bright ARGB lighting and airflow focused fan blades. The fans use a daisy chain design to reduce cable clutter, while hidden fan cables along the tubes help keep the build looking clean.

An included IO Controller makes installation easier by carrying both power and data through a single cable. The controller can be attached inside the case with magnets, and the cooler also includes flexible sleeved tubes and an easy refill port with coolant for longer service life.

The updated IO Center software gives users more control over lighting, fan speeds, and the LCD display. It supports custom backgrounds, real time hardware monitoring, and onboard memory, so saved settings remain active even when the software is not running.

be quiet! also offers IO Center Web, which works through most Chromium based browsers on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This allows users to adjust many settings without installing additional software or requiring administrator access.

The Light Loop IO LCD builds on the existing Light Loop design with a redesigned CPU block that adds a new 2.1‑inch IPS display. Like other display-equipped AIOs, this small display is capable of showing custom images or GIFs to add a personal touch to your build, or you can use it to display real-time system stats like CPU temperature. The cooler also ships with an updated IO Controller that hooks into be quiet!'s IO Center software, allowing you to set up custom lighting presets and fan profiles.

The pump and cold plate have also been refined for improved liquid flow and reduced noise, while the included Light Wings LX PWM high‑speed fans should provide strong airflow, along with extra ARGB lighting.

The Light Loop IO LCD also introduces several quality‑of‑life improvements, including hidden fan cabling along the tubes for a cleaner build, flexible sleeved tubing for easier installation and an accessible refill port with an included coolant bottle to support long‑term maintenance.

The Light Loop IO LCD AIO will be available starting from the 11th of August, priced at £159.99 for the 240mm model or £179.99 for the 360mm version. There is no price difference between the black and white colour options.
