Review on πŸ”₯ Silent Performance! BK010 Shadow Rock Slim CPU Cooler - 160W TDP - Compatible with Intel LGA 775/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011 and AMD Socket AM2 (+)/AM3 (+)/FM1/FM2/754/939/940 by Alfredo Nosrac

Great balance between looks, price and performance.

This cooler is compact and very well built. The aluminum finish on the top complements the metal/silver body and beautifully creates a clean, sleek and industrial look. Cooling performance is acceptable - it's on par with the Hyper 212 Evo and performs better than my Corsair H75 liquid cooling without the added noise. In terms of value for money, it performs better than the Cryorig H7, costs a few euros more and looks significantly better than the Noctua coolers, albeit a little cheaper. I personally think the cooler is in a very good place. Build quality is on par with the Noctua aside from the sleek packaging and badges on the case. I think Bequiet coolers deserve way more attention than what I see based on the 4 reviews left. Traditionally good looking air coolers are rare (that's why everyone chooses AIO liquid coolers), but this item looks a lot sleeker in real life than all of my Corsair liquid coolers and a lot quieter in comparison. I think I will buy more Be calm! products in the future. :)
