be quiet! Shadow ROCK TF2 
Decent cooling / Deadly Silent

We test and review the be quiet! Silent Rock TF 2  CPU Cooler. The cooler might not be the strongest performer on the block, but it is ridiculously silent, but hey it still packs enough punch to cool even a Core i7 4790K, which is not an easy task, in any scenario. You know, there really aren't any bad performing coolers being produced anymore. For every segment and budget, you can find something you need. The market stabilized and within the entire range and scope of heatpipe based coolers, there's a certain comfort zone with a corresponding product available. As a result, most of the coolers available on the market are all adequate at the very least. There are always exceptions to this, there's a handful of manufacturers out there that offer the really interesting stuff, the kit and gear that really stand out from the cooling crowd, the hardware you and me crave and need so badly... that is in the enthusiast domain of gaming hardware. And that's where we need to make a stop at Be Quiet! as they tick boxes man!

The Shadow ROCK was updated to revision TF2 has a relatively flat design, yet offers reasonable cooling capacity (for a nice price as well). Where it shines though is acoustics, this is an incredibly silent product.

Have a peek at the model tested below; with a flat'sich lower profile footprint and decent looks, this is one of the most silent (air-based) coolers we have ever tested, even with a Core i7 4790K that we'll throw at it.
