Be Quiet BK003 Shadow Rock Review

A very controversial model. On the one hand, the overall quality of workmanship, excellent fan, and neat set captivate, and on the other hand, some miscalculations in the design are depressing. Very awkward setup. It is necessary, while holding the heatsink in place, trying not to smear the thermal paste all over the socket, while simultaneously tightening the clamping screws from the back. In addition, there are excellent chances to lubricate the factory thermal paste while installing the…

I installed a cooler from this manufacturer for the first time and was somewhat puzzled, but I managed it. The cooler is as quiet as possible, installed in an itx system, for a total of 3600 percent 80 degrees is the ceiling.

I bought it on a foreign site along with other hardware, so the price came out adequate. During assembly, it turned out that one of the sleeve nuts did not have an external thread. Since it was bought abroad, it didn’t make much sense to write to the store, so I wrote in the form of a guarantee through the manufacturer’s website. They did not answer immediately, but the detail was changed. While waiting, I installed box cooling on the Ryzen 5 1600, under load on the Aida stress test it warmed…

In general, I am satisfied, given the very cramped case (SilverStone LC16B-MR Black), the cooler does its job. before that, the AMD cooler that came with the ryzen 3900 x processor used to warm up to 95 percent in the load, now the idle temperature is on average 55 degrees in the load up to 75, if you remove the case cover, it drops to 40. At the same time, the noise level in times below, thermal paste used be quiet! DC1 BZ001

A good option, quiet, constructively can close the memory modules, they cannot be removed without removing the cooler, especially if they are with radiators. But on the plus side, they cool down. Replaced stock thermal paste with MX-4.

Be quite Shadow Rock TF2 is not the cheapest and far from the best Top-Flow cooler, but it does its job. The claimed TDP 160W seems to be true. But you need to be aware that this solution is focused primarily on quiet operation, and not on setting world records for overclocking processors. Has some pros: The fan from Beakwhite is great. Here they really have no equal. True, a non-standard 135mm model is used here, moreover, it is slightly simplified (bearing with the so-called screw thread)…

In order for a heatpipe cooler to function properly, there must be a temperature difference between the heated part and the heatsink. with a small temperature difference, the effect of heat pipes does not work. therefore, most coolers cannot cool the CPU below their threshold values, since, structurally, the copper tube begins to dissipate heat solely through the thermal conductivity of the metal itself, and not through the ability to transfer heat by the reagent inside the tube. Luckily, this…

Here they wrote that it is badly pressed against AMD. I put it on Intel, the pressure on the processor is very very strong (in my opinion even too much). With its pros: Made and packaged well enough. 160 W manages to dissipate the declared power, even a little more, somewhere around 180 (for Intel at maximum speed). Really quiet, even at maximum speed, if by itself (away from surrounding objects). It blows the VRM, while the height is chosen so that the plastic does not need to be removed from…
