Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of coolant does the Pure Loop 3 use?

The Pure Loop 3 comes pre-filled with a specialized coolant. For refills, it is recommended to use a high-quality, compatible all-in-one liquid cooler coolant. Always refer to the official manual for specific recommendations.

How often should I check the coolant level?

It is recommended to check the coolant level every 6-12 months, or if you notice any decrease in cooling performance. The refill port allows for easy inspection and topping up.

Can I replace the stock fans with different ones?

Yes, the radiator fans can be replaced with other 140mm fans. However, ensure they have similar or better static pressure and airflow characteristics for optimal performance.

Is the pump noise level adjustable?

The pump's power is typically supplied via a 12V connection. While some motherboards offer voltage control for pump headers, the primary control for noise is managed by the fan speeds connected to the radiator.

What is the warranty period for the Pure Loop 3?

Please refer to the product's official documentation or the retailer's information for the specific warranty period, as it can vary by region.

Does this cooler support the new LGA 1851 socket?

Yes, the be quiet! Pure Loop 3 280mm cooler supports the LGA 1851 socket for Intel processors.

Troubleshooting

Pump not spinning or making noise

Ensure the pump's power cable is securely connected to the motherboard or a power source. Check if the pump's RPM is set correctly in the BIOS/UEFI. If noise persists, check for air bubbles or consider the need for a coolant refill.

CPU overheating despite cooler installation

Verify that the mounting pressure of the pump unit is even and secure. Ensure thermal paste was applied correctly. Check that the radiator fans are spinning and connected to the CPU_FAN header. Make sure there are no obstructions to airflow around the radiator.

Fans are unusually loud

Check the fan speed control settings in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI or software. Ensure the fans are connected to the correct headers and not running at maximum speed unnecessarily. Clean dust from the fan blades and radiator.

System not booting after installation

Double-check all cable connections, especially for the pump and fans. Ensure no components were accidentally dislodged during installation. Verify that the cooler is compatible with your motherboard and CPU socket.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

The Pure Loop 3 280mm is compatible with a wide array of modern CPU sockets, including:

Intel: LGA 1851, LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 1155, LGA 1150
AMD: Socket AM5, Socket AM4

Setup:

Preparation: Ensure your PC case has sufficient space for a 280mm radiator and compatible mounting points. Gather the necessary tools (usually a screwdriver).
Mounting Bracket: Install the appropriate mounting bracket for your CPU socket onto the motherboard.
Pump Unit: Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the CPU (if not pre-applied) and attach the pump unit to the CPU, securing it with the provided screws or clips.
Radiator and Fans: Mount the 280mm radiator to your case's designated radiator mounting location (e.g., top, front, or side). Attach the two 140mm fans to the radiator.
Connections: Connect the fan cables to the motherboard's CPU_FAN header and the pump's power cable to a suitable power connector (often SATA).
Cable Management: Tidy up all cables for optimal airflow and aesthetics.

Care:

Dusting: Regularly clean the radiator fins and fan blades with compressed air to maintain optimal airflow and prevent overheating.
Coolant Level: Periodically check the coolant level via the refill port. If the level is low, use a compatible coolant (not included) to top it up. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.
Cleaning: The exterior of the cooler and radiator can be wiped down with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
