Review on be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black: 150W TDP CPU Cooler with Elegant Black Surface and HDT Technology by Darnell Golden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very quiet but awkward to install

I bought this to replace the stock Wraith stealth cooler that came with my Ryzen 5 3600. While fine (and free), the Stealth ran 100% under the curve fan and was very loud despite the "invisible" name. After asking about alternatives, someone suggested BeQuiet! cooler.Install was quite a hassle, but it was partly my fault, so I'm not deducting stars for that. It took a while to attach the fan and I had to watch the installation video a couple of times before I realized that you actually have to screw in the clips. Don't be afraid to use force. After installation my idle temperature is now around 30s and at 100% load my CPU stays at around 59 degrees while being very quiet. All in all, a great cooler is a good step forward if you want to noticeably reduce your tower noise, especially for the price, but it probably won't fit in a mini case.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
