Something is being lost in translation with the cabling of the hub and motherboard and the manual instructions are not any clearer. I think from this video That 1:one of the fan cables off the radiator connect too the rpm port on the hub 2: The cable from the pump connects to the AIO_Pump port on motherboard. 3: The argb cable from the cooling block conects to an ARGB port on the hub 4: ARGB in on the nub connects to ARGB port on motherboard 5: PWM in on the hub connects to CPU_Fan on motherboard 6: The remaining fan cable and fan argb cable connect to the hub Could you correct if any of these assumptions are wrong but please don't refer to the manual or the pump curve video as neither clears up what cables attach where.
I have always connected the ARGB cable from the cooling block to the motherboard - as it's closer than the hub itself. The RPM connector instructions on the manual are not clear, as it states 'The connector marked RPM carries the signal of the connected device to the mainboard fan header' - This one does not make any sense. I assumed you should connect a fan there?

You NEED to tighten the waterblock to the processor as tight as it will go, until the screws no longer move. I was afraid I was going to overtighten the screws, I have a bad habit of using too much force and breaking things. After installation, I noticed that my CPU temps actually increased from my previous set-up, so I took off my cover and cranked the screws all the way down, until they stopped. On reboot, my Ryzen 9 5950 temp dropped to 37C at idle, that's the lowest I've ever seen it.
I cannot decipher from this video or the manual, what wires plug in where. They do not identify the wire or the port on the mainboard in either location and it's getting pretty frustrating. Please identify both ends of each wire somewhere! There is a wire coming off the cpu connector and there is a wire coming off what I assume is the pump a bit up the hose line. I do not know what these plug into. I assume every single wire from the AIO fans, pump, cpu connector, etc, all go into the hub, and then the wires from the bottom of the hub connect to the MB. There is also a port on the hub marked RPM and I don't know if that's a special 4 pin compared to the rest of them. I've also got a cpu fan and a pump fan port on my motherboard and not sure which to use or if both, or what.
One cable on the CPU block is for running the pump and the other is for the ARGB lighting. Here you can find more information about connecting a pump: ua-cam.com/video/_jYQonIvgVg/v-deo.html Which hubs to use depends on the motherboard. Please check the maual of your mainboard for that information.
what if i already have a dark rock 4 on my mainboard installed? Could i skip the whole "installing the pump mount" part, and just screw the pump on top of the cpu? (with thermal paste and protection paper removal of course before that)
Hey, unfortunately, the Dark Rock 4 mounting kit is not identical to the Pure Loop 2 or Pure Loop 2 FX when it comes to AMD mounting. However, when it comes to an Intel socket, the mounting kit is identical.
Hello Bequiet, I recently bought a Pureloop 2 280mm without RGB and it didn't come with the SATA adapter cable, as others have reported (I saw in some videos from 1-3 years ago that it used to come with one and was recommended for the health of the pump). It only came with an adapter to connect two fans to one. Please, help me with this question: should I buy a SATA adapter cable or connect it directly to the motherboard? My motherboard is a B550M TUF Gaming Plus, and it has a connector called 'CPU_OPT' and another one for 'CPU_FAN'; I'm not sure where to connect the LED from the block. Is this an update from Be Quiet? Is the SATA adapter no longer necessary?
It sounds like the SATA cable might have been missing in your package. We include it to ensure the pump runs smoothly at a constant 12V. You can contact us via our contact form, and we’ll gladly send you one for free. Alternatively, you can connect the pump to the CPU_FAN header, but make sure to adjust the BIOS to maintain a constant 12V. The pump head's lighting is a standard white LED that requires 12V. You can connect it to any fan header to get it running. Hope this clears things up! www.bequiet.com/en/contact/service
@@bequietofficial I finally got to test the cooler and everything went well! But I have a question. First, I installed the AIO by connecting the pump to the CPU fan header and setting it to full speed. I connected the radiator fans to the OPT header as suggested, but I noticed that I can't control the PWM through the OPT connector. So, I decided to swap the connections (pump to the OPT header and fans to the CPU fan header). This is where my question arises: I noticed a slight variation in the RPM of the pump when the CPU is idle (minimum 4800 RPM). I would like to know if this variation will reduce the lifespan of the pump or if I can leave it connected this way.
The Pure Loop 2 pump, as well as all other PWM pumps, can be freely adjusted while always operating at our specified minimum speed. In your case, it is fine to have the speed set anywhere between 4000-5500 RPM.
Fan orientation in an AIO radiator setup impacts cooling efficiency and airflow direction. Installing the radiator at the front with fans set to intake pulls fresh, cooler air from outside, aiding in effective CPU cooling but potentially raising internal case temperature. Conversely, mounting the radiator on top with fans exhausting air can help expel hot air, optimizing overall system temperature, albeit sometimes at the cost of slightly higher CPU temperatures due to warmer internal air. Both configurations have their merits, depending on your specific cooling requirements and case airflow design.
@bequietofficial i got the lightbase 900 fx and want to put it on the side configuration. is it possible to use the pureloop2 fx or might it damage the pump due to the position in the tubes?
I have a question. I got a Pure Base 500FX which already have a fan hub, and i want to buy a Pure Loop 2 FX 240mm which comes with another fan hub. The problem is my motherboard have only 1 argb header and i can't plug the argb connectors of both fan hubs. Is there a problem if a fan is connected to 2 fan hubs? Because i think of plugging the 3pins of the Pure Loop 2 fans into the case's fan hub, and the 4pins of the fans into the cooler's fan hub, but i don't know if that is ok to do, i don't want to fry something. Sorry if this is a stupid question but i'm more of a beginner, and thx for response in advance :)

Yes, it has coolant in it. This is to refill it after (hopefully) a few years when air gets in there. You open the specific screw and fill some to have almost 0 air in it.

The AiO is filled and you don't need to put any liquid in if you bought the Pure Loop 2 factory-sealed and use it for the first time. The coolant liquid which is part of the packing is only there to re-fill the AiO which we suggest to do so after around 2 years.

Hi BeQuiet! I assembled a new PC with your products: power supply, AIO pure loop 2 fx 360mm, the case (pure base 500dx) and 3 other fans. I positioned the AIO in the front part of the case, placing the fans on the outside and the radiator on the inside, with the tubes at the top. Is it correct to put the tubes high up? Many people tell me that I did well, others didn't... please clear up this doubt for me!
I'm not be quiet! but I can help. Also there is no capital letters in be quiet!, they make too much noise. It's fine, as long as the pump or cold plate is not the highest point of the loop there will be no problem. There is air in the loop, getting rid of it all is impossible. With time there is evaporation that will occur, making it so that there is more air in the loop. Air will rise to the top of the loop, it is normal. Some air bubbles will be pushed through the loop, it is normal. IF air pockets form inside the pump or cold plate, it will cause problems. If air pockets form inside the radiator or a tube, it will not cause problems. Gamers Nexus have a video about it and Jayztwocents have a great add on for it, other people have videos about that.
Hey, since a certain pressure is created within the system, water cooling also manages to transport the coolant, even if the hoses/tubes run upwards. However, it would be optimal to lay the hoses/tubes in the lower area due to their service life. The water cooling would then function as a container and there would always be water on the hoses/tubes.
You can use dedicated software for this purpose, or if you're using a be quiet! case with our hub, you can control it via the case. If you have any doubts, please contact customer support for assistance www.bequiet.com/de/contact/service

What are you plugging into the port on the hub that is marked RPM specifically?
Seconded. It seems to be important, but is totally glossed over.
Otherwise you cannot control and read the rpm of the fans
