be quiet! Shadow Rock SLIM 2 review - Product Showcase CPU Cooler

The radiator stack is made up of 53 aluminum fins and is ornamented with a brushed aluminum top cover, as well as aluminum caps for the heatpipes and heatpipe caps. A 135mm 'silence-optimized' rifle-bearing PWM fan with nine blades and a maximum speed of 1,400RPM is attached to the chassis with a set of metal clips. 

 

 

It is possible to use almost all of the current Intel and AMD sockets, with the exception of the Threadripper socket. If you like a cooler that is straightforward and clean, the Shadow Rock Slim 2 will be right up your alley.

 

 

A small tube of thermal paste that's good for at least a couple of installations is included in the bundle, as are a spare set of clips for an optional push/pull configuration. Do note, however, that be quiet! doesn't sell 135mm standalone fans; the supplied clips are intended for a 120 to be added to the rear, which isn't ideal from a visual or performance perspective.

 

There is no RGB lighting to speak of, and only a single four-pin header is required, so there is no need to fiddle around with software. Installation takes only a few minutes, and while it is not as fashionable as a liquid all-in-one, the be quiet! is a good alternative.


The fin stack itself is moved back slightly in order to bring the fan closer to the center of the cooler, and helping with RAM compatibility. Mind you there is a powder-coated black version available as well.

Be Quiet! Pure Power 12 M - 850W ATX 3.0 PSU review
Today we’re putting the new be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 850W power supply on our test bench. The company is mainly known for its PSUs and Hilbert has recently reviewed the Dark Power 13 1000W. On the same day (24th January), the Pure Power 12M series was officially announced. We reviewed the predecessors, be quiet! Pure Power 11 (in 2018, it earned the “Recommended” award) and Pure Power 11 FM (in February 2022, also “Recommended), and we wonder what has changed in the meantime for the Pure Power 12M. The main difference is the full ATX 3.0 compatibility.
