Key Features
- Switch between the 10 included lighting foils as often as you like with Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm. Each foil changes the impressive ARGB effect of the cooling block. You can replace foils with minimal effort
- Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm features 2 Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed fans. They come with 16 LEDs that perfectly scatter across the fan blades and are key for the stunning visuals Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm offers. The fan’s 9 airflow-optimized fan blades not only reduce noise-generating turbulences but also ensure that Light Wings LX 120mm PWM high-speed provides the performance that is needed, even in demanding scenarios. A specially designed, funnel shaped air outlet is more than just the icing on the cake: it maximizes the airflow over the fins. The fans also come with a “closed loop motor” function. This feature always keeps a steady fan speed, no matter the resistance – ideal for radiators
- If you want to connect more fans than your system has headers for, you are in for a problem. A water-cooling system with pump and 2 fans on top of the case fans can hit the maximum available on a motherboard easily. The daisy chain function of Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm allows all fans to be connected in series. We provide fewer and shorter cables to help you achieve a cleaner look
- With Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm even the most demanding applications can be used reliably. An immense cooling power provides low temperatures even during periods of peak CPU performance
- A powerful PWM pump ensures the very high-performance of Pure Loop 3 LX 240mm and is whisper-quiet at the same time. The 6-pole 3-phase motor provides a smooth and consequently silent operation, whether at high or low rpm.
