be quiet!Pure Rock 2 150W TDP CPU Cooler | Intel Compatible 1700 1200 2066 1150 1151 1155 2011 Square ILM | AMD-AM4 | Silver | BK006

Awesome, easy installation. Very quiet on my newly built system, operates at a whisper at idle. It is super huge however, and blocks some of the RGB from my motherboard and RAM, would have probably chosen the Be Quiet! AIO kits instead--but don't let that deter you! This thing is a beast and keeps the 9800X3D nice and cool.Definitely would plan on making a full Be Quiet kit setup inside my newly built PC within the year.

The Pure Rock 2 cooler is honestly one of my favorite coolers to have in my PC. I used to have a Thermaltake UX100 and got the Pure Rock 2 since the Thermaltake fan was so bad. I couldn't overclock my CPU and the RGB colors it gave out were so horrendous.Installation: 7/10The directions the fan came with was so bad. You're better off watching a youtube tutorial on how to install the fan. There are multiple videos on showing you how to install the cooler so the installation itself was easy. The directions the cooler came with was horrible.Noise level: 10/10The fan is quiet despite being overclocked. I guess their noise level reflects their brand name.Looks: 9/10Looks pretty clean in my PC. (I don't really have a big emphasis on my PC aesthetics)Cooling Power: 10/10For the price, this is actually pretty good. My pc is currently overclocked and I haven't really noticed any thermal throttling. I have a GTX 1660 Ti, a i7 9700k, and a NZXT H510 case (bad case for airflow). For the fans inside the case, i have one on top running as exhaust, two on the front running as intake, and one in the back running as exhaust. Temps of CPU have been hovering around 50-70 while running Lost Ark on high settings (1440p).Overall, this cooler is really good for the price.

This was for an Intel LGA1815, with an Ultra 9 285K, keeping it cool so far under heavy loads. Easy to install. Won't touch the air vs water cooling issue, that is a religious issue. This works great.

Cooler was easy to install because it comes with clear instructions. Seems to perform well. Quiet. Have not checked the core temps but have had no crashes since install. Reasonable price.

Install was "easy" in the sense that everything needed was in the package. The process was straight forward, but not nearly as simple as other coolers on the market. I do think that if you can install RAM or a gfx card, you can do this, too.It comes with thermal compound already applied. Some will be happy with that, and others will likely remove it and apply their own. To each there own, I suppose.This thing is super quiet and works very well. Obviously, I'll need to look at how things are going in a few months, but for right now, brand new, super clean, my CPU idles at around 25c and while gaming is around 50c. That is a big improvement over my old temps!

I have this cooler mounted in an AM4 system (Ryzen 3100). I was looking for a CPU cooler that was quiet and effective, and didn't cost 80 bucks.Pros:* It's almost entirely silent. The stock Wraith Stealth wasn't loud, but had this agonizing vibration that seems to harmonize with my tinnitus - listening to it was like chewing on tinfoil. This cooler has a barely audible hum.* Idle temps are about 8-10 degrees cooler than than the stock Wraith Stealth cooler.* Not expensive - about $40 - $50 dollars cheaper than a high-end cooler* Already has thermal paste applied (real thermal paste, not that semi-solid crap the stock cooler comes with)* Comes with approximately 50 small screws and brackets so you can bolt this thing pretty much anywhere. Really, there are a *lot* of screws here.Cons:* The fan uses these metal clips to hold the fan on to the heatsink, and the clips work just fine, but there's nothing between the hard plastic of the fan body, and the metal fins of the heatsink. Not good vibration insulation. The kit should add some thin rubber pads to help isolate the fan vibration from the body of the heatsink. I made do with some scraps. Really, this is a nitpick, but I think it's an oversight on the part of be Quiet!.

Installation was mostly painless, the way the fans clip in makes it a little annoying, but it’s very small and I had no trouble replacing my previous cooler with the motherboard still in the case. I am currently using a Ryzen 7 5800x and get around 33-38 idle and I haven’t gone above 70 under load, even with applications that are very CPU intensive like RPCS3. The cooler is very quiet too and I barely notice it.

When I had bought the cooler, my god it looked like hell trying to put it together. After looking at the directions it became a lot easier but then I got to the fan... THE DREADED FAN. OH. MY. GOD. That was the hardest part in installing the entire thing. Even after looking at the manual, a YouTube tutorial, and trying it for an hour straight, I STILL COULD NOT GET THE FAN INSTALLED. Reason being... YOU HAVE TO CLIP IT ON THE COOLER FINS, AND THAT HURTS LIKE BITC... can't say that. But since I wasn't installing the fan "correctly" I kept cutting my fingers on the fins. After I managed to get it on, it was smooth sailing and the temps on my computer has been so nice!
