Abstract: The evolution of the CPU has forced manufacturers to change how CPU cooling is approached. There no single correct way, but there are various options, some options are extremely simple while others can be rather complex. In the market today, there are var...

All in all the Shadow Rock 2 from be quiet! is a great little cooler. The fan included with the cooler is amazingly quiet at all power levels – to the point where you want to keep looking at it to make sure the fan is spinning. The brushed aluminum top a...
Square Tower Design, Silent 122mm Cooling Fan, Four Heatpipe Design, Thick Fin Radiator, Brushed Heatsink Cover, 180w Power Handling
Mounting system is cumbersome, Cooler could benefit from a second fan
As with any computer component the designers set out to accomplish a goal. With some products that goal is to be universal and work with anything while others have more specialized tasks and do that one thing extremely well. In terms of heatsinks they can...
Fan can be mounted on any of the four sides. Silent Fan. Sleek look.
Installation is quite difficult. Large and bulky. Poor for overclocking
If you're using a 4770k/3770k and wanting to overclock then the Shadow rock 2 might not be for you. On the other hand, if you are using a 3570/4570k or any Sandy Bridge chip, and you want a super-quiet cooler, than this might fit your needs....
More difficult installation that other coolers, May block memory with larger heatspreaders, Other coolers we have tested have performanced better
When I first took the Shadow Rock 2 out of its packaging I was very surprised at the quality and design of the cooler. The brushed aluminum top piece really looks great and is going to look even better inside of a case with a side panel window. The color...
Price, Extremely quiet, Great looks, Easy to install, Exceptional build quality, Fan can be mounted on any side
Memory clearance with traditional fan orientation, Mediocre cooling performance, Lack of availability in the USA at the time this review was written
The be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 retails for $49.90. Price Extremely quiet Great looks Easy to install Exceptional build quality Fan can be mounted on any side Memory clearance with traditional fan orientation Mediocre cooling performance Lack of availability...
The Shadow Rock 2 has an industrial look with its brushed aluminum top-plate and exposed copper heatpipes. This is a look that seems to be either a “love it” or “hate it” type of thing to many people, but I like industrial looks just as much, if not bet...
Abstract: The Be Quiet! Shadow Rock 2 CPU Air Cooler is well crafted, comes with four 8mm heatpipes, has a smooth copper base & 51 aluminum fins. Also, the included 4pin SlientWings 120mm fan and the turbulence-reducing wave design on fins reduces noise generation ...

One thing I have to say; be quiet! products, regardless of their line stature, always look and feel impressive, and are presented very nicely. There is no questioning the quality that goes in, and it stands out in every aspect. While the Shadow Rock 2 m...

I am really torn with how to approach the end of this Shadow Rock 2 review. On one hand we have a cooler that is a delightful addition to any system at stock levels. In these conditions, this cooler from BeQuiet can easily handle the job at hand, and do ...
