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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Best value for a cheap CPU cooler

First off, if you're a PC enthusiast on a budget, the Pure Rock Slim options offer fantastic value for money. After unpacking the cool box, you could immediately see the quality of the product. You take the cool box out of the packaging and feel like you are holding it in your hands. As for the installation, thermal paste is already applied, which is very convenient. Installation was easy except for connecting the fan. When I installed it my motherboard was already in my case. I'm not sure if it's just me and I have clumsy, slow hands, but it took me a good half hour to figure out how to install the CPU fan. It was definitely not smooth and felt forced. I watched a few YouTube videos and they didn't care even though they were different versions of be quiet! Cooler. I ended up just pulling back the clip to hide it under the turret. The cooler itself looks very nice, it added a lot to the overall look of my build. It also lives up to its name, I can't hear anything. I'm telling you, you can't get more bang for your buck than this little cooler. If you are on a tight budget this is for you. If you overclock your CPU or have money, use water cooling. Even if you take the best air cooler, you will never beat a water cooler in terms of efficiency and temperature.
