Technic3D hat den be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 CPU-Kühler im Test. Der Shadow Rock 2 Kühler möchte weiterhin nicht nur im Preis, sondern auch in der Leistung überzeugen. Ob dies gelingt steht im folgenden Artikel.
War be quiet! ursprünglich als Spezialist für geräuscharme Netzteile in Erscheinung getreten, hat sich der deutsche Hersteller mittlerweile auch im Kühler-Segment voll und ganz etablieren können. Nach dem vor einiger Zeit bereits die Dark-Rock-Reihe ein Refresh bekommen hat, gibt es nun auch für die Midrange-Reihe ein Update in Form des Shadow Rock 2. Würfelförmig und mit neuem Lüfter versehen, verspricht der neueste Spross gute Leistung zu einem attraktiven Preis.
be quiet! is known mainly for their power supplies and cooling fans. They have some of the top products around in those categories, but if you didn’t know they also make CPU coolers. Today we are going to be taking a look at one of their latest CPU Coolers the Shadow Rock 2, which is the successor to the original Shadow Rock Pro cooler. The Shadow Rock 2 features an aluminum heatsink design with a copper base and four 8 mm copper heatpipes. To aid in cooling you also have a 120 mm SilentWings fan, which only runs at 1600 RPM so it should be pretty quiet. Will this cooler help keep your CPU and system nice and cool? Read on as we find out!
be quiet! has always held steady releasing top quality coolers with an excellent balance of performance, pricing and noise, and the new Shadow Rock 2 is certainly no exception. The be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 comes in at a midrange $49.90 retail price but offers high end features along with some of the best looks we have ever seen from a CPU cooler. To begin with, the Shadow Rock 2 uses a unique asymmetrical design which allows for the 120mm fan to be mounted in any direction. The included fan is specifically tuned for the SR2 producing 51 cfm at 1600rpm, with low noise of only 25.4 dBA. High 1.4 mm H2o static pressure is implemented to get the air over the SR2’s substantial fin structure. Four 8mm heatpipes rise through the fin array in a near linear pattern. The top of the Shadow Rock 2 is finished with brushed aluminum look silver with embossed be quiet! logo and attractive end caps on the protruding heatpipes. The Shadow Rock 2’s versatile mounting kit is compatible with all current AMD and Intel sockets, and the entire unit is backed with a 3-year warranty..
be quiet! are a brand that we believe are one of the best in the world, and based on their success in Germany as the leading power supply manufacturer, they also have a big focus on cooling products too. This stemmed from previous models including the Shadow Rock Pro and Shadow Rock Top Flow, as well as their amazing Dark Rock series of coolers and now their new Shadow Rock 2 CPU cooler.
The Shadow Rock 2 is a premium CPU cooler based on award-winning technology that be quiet! are known for by offering quiet operation and extremely high performance. Couple all of this with an amazing price point, you won’t be disappointed.
In terms of its high performance, you’ll find a total of four 8mm heatpipes and a 180W TDP allowing it to keep even the most extreme, overclocked CPU’s at a comfortable temperature level. With its specially designed cooling fins and 120mm be quiet! PWM based fan, even when working at its peak, the unit will remain almost silent with a 25.4dBA noise level at 100% fan load.
Our summer vacation timeout is almost upon us and although it will roughly be just 5-6 days long that doesn't mean that it will be solely fun and pleasure. So during these 3 days all of us will be testing several compact electronic devices (obviously we can't really test PC hardware while on vacations) such as portable battery packs, portable speakers, Wi-Fi sharing drives/devices, action cameras, Bluetooth wireless headsets and of course normal wired headsets since we really don't want to fall back on our review schedule (if we did that would mean more work for us once we get back). However until we take our short leave (should be the 12th of August if all goes according to plan) there are quite a few hardware reviews left to share with all of you including the one regarding the latest CPU Cooler by be quiet! the Shadow Rock 2.
More than anything else people just trust air cooling over liquid and for that reason we continue to see a steady stream of new high end heatsinks released. One of the more recent models is Be Quiet's Shadow Rock 2 and that is the focus of our review today.
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 resulting is a quiet cooler.
Chad checks in and tells us all about be quiet!'s Pure Rock CPU air cooler. He seems impressed by what you get for the modest price tag.
