Looks good, although I would have liked the 100% rpm dB levels to be slightly lower. Seems like a good price regardless.

Considering it's probably made by the same company who makes Corsair's units my guess would be "better".

Corsair's CLC tech is provided by Asetek, whereas be Quiet's AIOs are made by Alphacool. The former uses aluminium radiators with a mix of other metals, and compensates against galvanic corrosion by adding anticorrosives, while the latter uses pure copper.

Also, Asetek CLCs do not allow you to refill the liquid or expand the loop, but Alphacool AIOs are designed to allow for the expansion of the loop (i.e. adding more radiators and waterblocks) with the only limit being the power of the pump. However, for some reason be Quiet does not condone this, so if you want to expand your AIO loop without breaking warranty, you have to buy directly from Alphacool, whose Eisbaer series is 90% identical to the Silent Loop series, differing only in fans and pump type.

Looks Snazzy, but how good will it work and how quiet?

I await reviews !

I have the 240mm version and the pump, under normal circumstances is very very quiet. The Pure Wings fans aren't as quiet as my Shadow Wings so you may want to replace the fans if you want silence, but even out of the box, the 240 does a good job of keeping my overclocked FX8350 cool.

There have been a few reports of noisy/rattling pumps (search on here). I had this myself and tried a few things... It seems to have resolved itself for now so I'm thinking it's possibly trapped air rather than a pump problem.

Decent cooler though. I like mine.
 
Interesting to see the benchmarks against corsair/nzxt etc. Its about time Corsair joins the 360mm wagon.

However although I got a h115 I wouldn't change to anyone else but NZXT, the Krakens look beautiful with the new infinity mirror design and RGB
 
The pump is hard to fit. The taped on backplate kept getting pushed through and the screws can move so it's hard to get good contact first time. My temps are high 70s whilst gaming and upto 91 in stresstests with linpack ibt. My temps would be better with a perfectly alligned easy to seat cooler and a backplate that isn't just taped on. God X79 spoiled me with its great ready to mount screws.
 
I bought the 120 version of this to use for a short while until i do proper watercooling again but i ditched the rad and fittings/tubing and installed a thicker rad and 16/10 tubing and fittings.

Have to say the pump is really quiet and seems to be performing well for a 120 although i have delidded my 7700k.

One thing that is annoying though is the plastic fillport is a pain to unscrew, the plastic is so soft that whatever i tried to unscrew it with just gouged out plastic so i used a fillport on the radiator to fill instead.
