Know before you buy
The radiator has a height of 42mm, but you must ensure your case supports a 280mm radiator mounting position. Check your case specifications for radiator compatibility, as 280mm units require specific mounting rails that are wider than standard 240mm radiators.
Yes, it supports a wide range of modern sockets, including Intel LGA 1700 and 1851, as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms.
The Pure Loop 2 is designed for quiet operation, with noise levels ranging from 15.4 dB at low speeds to a maximum of 33.8 dB under full load. It remains very unobtrusive even when the CPU is under a heavy workload.
As a closed-loop all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler, it is a maintenance-free system. You do not need to refill or service the coolant loop during the product's lifespan.
A 280mm radiator offers a larger surface area than a standard 240mm model, allowing for more efficient heat dissipation. This enables the fans to run at lower speeds while maintaining the same cooling performance, which contributes to the cooler's quiet operation.
