be quiet! Pure Rock 2 150W TDP CPU Cooler | Intel-1700 1200 2066 1150 1151 1155 2011-3 Square ILM | AMD-AM4 for Desktop | Black | BK007

TLDR; great performing cooler, tad bulky, fan mounting is a hassle got this because my AMD Stealth Wraith Cooler wasn't getting the temps I wanted. this has a sneakily large heatsink so make sure your case can fit it. mine had no issues with clearance with ram, however i only have 2 sticks at slots 2 & 4, so if you have 4 sticks it may be quite a tight fit. comes with thermal paste applied. comes with the AM4 bracket & Intel brackets. mounting it was straightforward, & feels snug. bequiet! has a Youtube Channel with tutorials, very helpful. my idle temps are 10c-15c lower with this air cooler. running a ryzen 5 2600x. My only complaint is the fan mounting system. no screws, just thin, paperclip-like wires that you have to hook in & fashion in between the heatsink fins. very annoying to try and get them on, but I found that its easier to just do it one side at a time & then muscle it and hook it in place in case anyone else is having problems. Hooks in fine & snug enough once you figure it out and is a well performing fan: but the hassle was worth the star off.

The cooling is excellent.

Pros - My CPU came with a cooler out of the box, however it took up space in the worst way possible. Even though the Be Quiet! CPU cooler's heat sink is MASSIVE it scales upwards before it starts scaling outwards which allows you access to ALL the necessary parts of your motherboard while providing a huge heatsink which helps keep things cool - The Fan can be fit to your needs and blow either direction, it fits nicely on the CPU cooler - Pins that hold the fan are TIGHT which provides piece of mind that the fan won't come down tumbling on top of the GPU or other components - This thing runs cold, like really cold. Out of the box my CPU was running at 30C with this CPU Cooler. I decided to overclock my CPU to the recommended max overclock and it still remains under 45C under heavy gaming load and during all stress tests. - Comes with every mounting brace imaginable to man, it will fit on your motherboard there are brackets for multiple motherboard options and it comes with a simple assembly guide to help you attach it correctly - Comes with thermal paste ready to go and it applies nicely Cons - I wasn't aware of which way the CPU Cooler was supposed to be facing. So I had to detach and reattach within a 5 minute time frame, which wasn't fun with the thermal paste, but it worked out; I used this in my first PC build, so just make sure you know which way your motherboard is going into your case so you can assemble it with the words "Be Quiet!" not facing upside down in your case Overall - I'd buy again. No complaints. I'm not sure how it fairs to those in the price range but I feel like i got my money's worth - My CPU is happy and running cool - I have not heard the fans on this thing once, can't hear them during stress tests, gaming, or anything else, which is awesome

Because people like to skim reviews, I'll get to the bad stuff first. I just installed this, so not really much could go wrong in terms of defects yet. The only big design issue I have is the single cross bar tie down. When fully seated, the only thing holding the cooler in place is the crossbar, which has some free play where it meshes with the cooler base. That means the cooler is able to slide a bit without much force. The only other minor problem is the fan attachment. Unless you are willing to remove the motherboard completely and assemble this outside the case, you may as well plan to have a few bent fins. It's not physically hard to get the clips into place, but it is near impossible to have them line up and slip between the fins on the first try. It would be great if you could mount the fan outside the case before installing everything on the motherboard, but doing so would block a mounting screw. As is, I have a few fins bent slightly at the edges. Despite that, I'm overall pleased with the cooler. It's running about 8-10°C cooler than the cheap Deep Cool down flow cooler that was on it, sitting on top of a stock i5-8400. The loose fit doesn't seem to be affecting performance, or at least not enough to be concerning in my use. I love the looks and it is nearly silent even at full speed, so there's lots of head room for when I upgrade to a stronger processor. The black is great for a sleek build, or limited RGB. I don't know if the grooves on the fan blades are doing anything functional, but I do like the aesthetic of them. Overall this is a great value. Even with the fitment issue I mentioned at the top, I don't regret this purchase at all so far. There isn't much that could go wrong with the fin stack, and the fan is easily replaceable if durability is a problem (unlike the Deep Cool, who's fan was not replaceable).

I got the Pure Rock 2 Black. I’ve been using the stock cooler (Wraith Prism) for my Ryzen 7-2700x for a good two years now. With the stock cooler I would usually get around 50C* - 60C* idle and around 60C* - 75C* under load over various games. Using Prime95, I was able to get it up towards 86C* degrees max. Now, it is a good cooler for being stock, but my main problem was noise of the fan. I was able to hear it ramp up when reaching 70C* through my headphones and at some point I was pretty annoyed by it. Even with custom fan curves, it still did not help my case. I bit the bullet and bought this cooler because of video reviews and also for its name (bequiet!). Installation was pretty straight forward (I suggest looking at bequiet!’s videos on this cooler’s installation because the manual got me a bit confused) and all was fine. The main problem for me was probably the fan installation as you have to be very careful when putting the clips around the heat sink. It was even more difficult because I was installing it already inside the case. You can easily bend the fins, but you can easily bend them back. After I was done with it, I saw an immediate decrease in temps, especially under load. From 50-60 idle to under 50 most of the time. The huge difference was under load by never going above 70C* in CPU intensive titles. Can barely hear my computer running it’s fans now and feel satisfied with it. TLDR: Be careful when installing the fan. Temps with Stock cooler: 50C*-60C* idle, 60C*-75C* under load. Temps with Pure Rock 2: Under 50C* idle, under 70C* under load.

This cooler replaced a severely underperforming Intel heatsink that came with the 9400. It's for my "hackintosh" which sports said chip (i5 9400). Day to day tasks were fine with the included cooler but for rendering video or doing anything else that was CPU intensive, the stock cooler would spool up and sound like an electric leaf blower. This cooler took that problem and stomped it flat. The CPU and this cooler are on a Gigabyte Z390 Designaire motherboard (nice board and it has thunderbolt too!) along with 32 GB of RAM. It runs dead silent and is very responsive. For installation, it wasn't too bad, just a little tedious. But that's with most coolers, really. It does involve taking both panels off of your case (each side) to access the back of the motherboard in order to fit the cooler's back plate. The instructions provided are adequate enough. You can probably get more bang for your $ by going with Thermalright but I don't know how quiet their coolers are compared to Be Quiet's. But it's definitely that: QUIET! It's best to chunk those stock coolers to the side and spend a little extra dough to get a good cooler so that you won't think your computer is about to grow wings and take off.

After 2 days with my stock cooler that came with my 5600, I couldn't handle the noise any longer. Also, when my CPU was maxed out, it sat at 88 degrees C. So I went out to find a new quieter fan that would at least cool as well. After performing a deep dive on Amazon, I came across this one. Decent price and good reviews. Sure enough, it's definitely a LOT quieter than the POS stock cooler, but surprisingly, it performs a lot better too. With the CPU maxed out, I'm now at 65 degrees C. So, for the price, this is a great cooler. My only issue was the instructions for the install. They aren't the greatest. The barrels that have to be installed under the unit have a bigger hole that slips ver the holder. They don't tell you this in the instructions, so I spent a good 5 minutes trying to get it screwed down and the barrel was upside down. Trying to figure out how to stall the fan was a challenge as well. Probably took me an extra 10 minutes to install with the crappy instructions. Either way, I'm not taking that off as the quality is just too good and I'm just pleased with the outcome.

It’s quite a large cooler, so make sure you have a case that can accommodate it. It’s incredibly silent. The only time I hear this fan is at first boot, when I turn the machine on. It’s of great build quality. Thermals are great so long as you use correct thermal paste and remember to remove the plastic covering on the base of the cooler. The mounting system was a bit tricky to install, only because I have an older motherboard. Despite this, I was able to fit the cooler perfectly. It’s compatible with a lot of different motherboard models, including older ones. It’s quite expensive but for what it’s worth, it keeps temps low under stress, is dead silent, and looks great!

Article conforme à la description et de bonne qualité. Seul problème, le ventilateur est un peu difficile à fixer au radiateur avec les attaches fournies (un meilleur système de fixation serait une nette amélioration). Sinon le refroidissement est bon et sans être bruyant.

The Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler is a great little cooler. I had it connected up to a AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D. Running temperature was 33 celsius. Ran a burn in test and it handled it easily with temps only getting to 81 celsius

Yakın zamanda daha iyi bir işlemcide kullanacak olsamda i5 6500 üzerinde denemesini yaptım. 2 saat işlemci kullanımı %100 olacak şekilde stres testine soktuğumda en fazla 55 dereceyi gördüm. Ortam sıcaklığı 25 derece. 55 dereceye soğutmak için fanlar 795 rpm hızına çıktı. Yani max hız olan 1400 rpm ile daha iyi bir soğutma performansına ulaşmak mümkün. Tabi %100 de bir miktar ses te oluyor, bunu göz önünde bulundurmak gerek. Genel olarak gayet memnunum. Yüksek tdp değerine sahip bir işlemci ile test etme fırsatı bulduğumda yorumu güncellemeye çalışacağım.

Don't get the title wrong, the brand br quiet is pretty good. 5he cooler is fantastic with its 120mm fan. My cpu temperatures dropped 50C° (seriously). The cpu mount on the pack and all the other bits were perfect, they fit without trouble and are pretty easy to mount. But, the mounting of the 120mm fan has this weird system with 2 flimsy clips. That somehow click to a ridge on the aluminium block. I don't know why a brand would choose a system that can damage its own product. To finish the review, mounting the fan is irritating and takes too much time but the be quiet cooler lives up to their name. Its a quiet cooler and it cools pretty well.

So be quiet are not a small company anymore and it shows that they been in the buiz for some time now. This cooler is great, its goodlooking, easy to install, does the job good, and last but really important its quite. Its like a better looking Noctua but the finstacking is less I think it has less pipes then the top tier Noctua. If u have the money buy Noctua but this is the second best choice. I love it.
