Cooling specialist be quiet! has announced its first lineup of all-in-one liquid coolers equipped with integrated displays. The new Light Loop IO LCD series expands the existing Light Loop family, incorporating a 2.1-inch IPS screen on the pump housing. This display features a 480×480 resolution and is capable of reaching 500 nits of brightness, allowing users to monitor system statistics or display custom images and videos.
The cooler design prioritizes aesthetics by surrounding the screen with a translucent cover that allows integrated RGB lighting to shine through. To maintain a clean appearance, the system utilizes an IO Controller hub that manages power, fan speeds, and lighting via a single cable. This controller can be magnetically mounted within a PC case, and the unit features hidden fan cabling routed along the tubing.
Performance is managed by a refined pump and cold plate assembly, which includes a high-density fin stack and a jet plate designed to accelerate liquid velocity for improved heat dissipation. The company claims the 240mm model operates at 34.9dBA at full speed, while the 360mm version reaches 36.8dBA. The radiators are 27mm thick and include an accessible liquid fill port, with a coolant bottle provided to facilitate long-term maintenance.
Customization is handled through the be quiet! IO Center software, which supports a web-based configurator compatible with Chromium-based browsers on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Settings can be saved directly to the cooler's onboard memory, ensuring configurations persist even when the software is not active. The units are compatible with modern CPU sockets, including Intel LGA1851, 1700, 1200, and 115x, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms.
The Light Loop IO LCD series will be available in black and white color options starting August 11, 2026, and is backed by a three-year warranty. Pricing for the 240mm model starts at £159.99, while the 360mm version is priced at £179.99.
