Review on ๐Ÿ’ฆ Maximize Silence and Performance with be quiet! BW008 Pure Loop 360mm All-in-One Water Cooling System by Kevin Hauck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's very good for the price

This is a pretty good value cooler when you know what you're getting. I've run the 240mm on all cores at 10850K at 4.8GHz and that's about 5-7 degrees better than the Scythe Fuma 2 it replaced. Of course, the Scythe costs $40 less than this, so I expect the BeQuiet to perform better. To be honest, the cooling performance of the BQ did not convince me. It doesn't give me much more thermal headroom than the Scythe, but it lives up to its name, it's quiet, it was pretty easy to install and it looks fantastic when it's on. That's not to say its cooling performance is bad, it's good for its price, but in short it is what it is: good but not great. If you have a fire-breathing CPU like the 10850K or 5900X, this cooler will handle some overclocking, but you won't be able to get the most out of these CPUs; You need 360 for that. All in all, the sub-$100 AIO here is very high, and I'd definitely recommend it unless you're trying to crazy overclock processors with more cores.

Pros
  • Excellent workmanship
Cons
  • I won't say anything
