Cooling specialist be quiet! has announced its first lineup of AIO coolers equipped with displays. The Light Loop IO LCD AIO design features an IPS LCD, surrounded by plenty of RGB lighting. According to be quiet!, these new units are designed to combine high cooling performance and whisper-quiet operation with striking aesthetics.
The Light Loop IO LCD joins the Light Loop series, but this time adds a 2.1in 480×480 IPS display to the pump top, capable of displaying system monitoring information, videos, or images. This colour display can reach up to 500nits of brightness, which should make it quite readable even inside cases filled with RGB lighting. The display is surrounded by a translucent cover, with RGB lighting shining through it, and it comes with RGB fans as well.
The screen and lighting are all customisable via the brand’s IO Center, with a selection of complementary lighting and background effects. These can be saved directly to the cooler’s onboard memory, ensuring your preferred settings remain active, even when the software isn’t running. Speaking of which, you won’t need to install an app to customise your settings, since the Light Loop IO LCD supports be quiet!’s web-based configurator, which runs on Chromium-based browsers on Windows, Linux, and Mac.
To make it more convenient for users, be quiet! has equipped this series with its IO Controller hub, which manages everything from power distribution and speed control to screen and lighting customisation, via a single cable. This device can be magnetically attached anywhere in your case, while its stealthy cables run along the tubes to create a clean appearance.
Like their non-LCD siblings, the Light Loop IO LCD will be available in black or white versions, as well as 240mm and 360mm radiator sizes. All of these editions are priced differently, with the full costs listed below:
- Light Loop IO LCD 360mm White: €234.90 / $254.90 / £179.99
- Light Loop IO LCD 360mm Black: €229.90 / $249.90 / £179.99
- Light Loop IO LCD 240mm White: €209.90 / $229.90 / £159.99
- Light Loop IO LCD 240mm Black: €204.90 / $224.90 / £159.99
According to be quiet!, the Light Loop IO LCD features a specially designed jet plate that accelerates the liquid velocity, plus a cold plate with a high-density fin stack, which is designed to maximise heat dissipation on modern, high-performance CPUs. The pump is also optimised for quiet operation, with be quiet! claiming it only reaches 34.9dBA on the 240mm model, and 36.8dBA on the 360mm version, when it’s running at 100% speed.
All models use 27mm thick aluminium radiators, and they’re equipped with an easy-to-access liquid fill port, which allows you to top up the liquid if needed. While this procedure may only be needed after years of use, it’s a handy feature to have if you wish to extend the life of your cooler, since otherwise it would only be good for the bin. A coolant bottle is also included in the bundle.
Other than this, the Light Loop IO LCD series is compatible with all modern sockets, including Intel’s LGA1851, 1700, 1200, and 115x platforms, plus AMD Socket AM5 and AM4 motherboards. The Light Loop IO LCD series will be available to buy from August 11, 2026, backed by a three-year warranty.
