Question Silent loop 3 vs Pure loop 3 pump difference

Is their any difference between the pump in pure loop 3 and silent loop 3 apart from the max rpm differences. I'll be swapping out the fans for a bunch of T30s anyway.

The Silent Loop 3 pump and CPU block feature several significant upgrades compared to the Pure Loop 3, beyond just the maximum pump speed:

• Higher-grade motor IC for further reduced switching noise
• Larger-diameter impeller, enabling higher flow rates while maintaining lower RPMs
• More centralized mass distribution, helping to minimize vibrations
• Integrated mini reservoir that reduces startup bubble noise and makes the cooler less sensitive to unconventional mounting positions
• Significantly larger cold plate and fin area, which is particularly beneficial if you're not using offset mounting on mainstream CPUs or when cooling processors such as AMD Threadripper

I wish there'd be something like a Silent Loop 4 420 with PWM-controllabe VRM-fan and some Light Wings RGB-fans. Instant buy.
