Review on πŸ”‡ Silence is Bliss! BK030 Pure Rock Slim 2, 130W TDP, CPU Cooler by Ray Reeltalk

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fully satisfied

Excellent cooler. The i5-7600K at 4.6 GHz does not exceed 80 Β°C at 100% load (with pre-applied paste) and the fan is very quiet. The cooler is a bit big but not too big, fits very comfortably in a standard ATX case and looks quite stylish. I like that copper heat pipes have metal caps on top to make them look cleaner. Also, it was one of the easiest coolers I've installed. Simply plug in 4 pins, secure the fan, plug in and you're done. And the price is quite steep - less than $35 after taxes. Definitely recommend this cool box. EDIT 3/18/19 I'm still impressed with this cooler. After changing the voltage settings in the BIOS, I'm now running my i5-7600K at 4.8GHz. That's 1 GHz overclock! Not only that, but after changing my voltage from Auto (where it would fluctuate around 1.4 volts under load) to 1.225 volts, even with this 1GHz overclock my CPU temperature doesn't rise above 75C at 100 % Load. This cooler allowed me to comfortably push my CPU to its limits as the system instability was above 4.8GHz. I'm shocked, pun intended.
