This time, we're looking at another be quiet! cooler. Shadow Rock Slim 2 is an improved version of the original Shadow Rock Slim, with an optimized mounting kit for quick and easy installation on all current Intel and AMD consumer sockets.
We take a look at another be quiet! Is the Dark Rock TF 2 is a rock solid cooler. This cooler has a wonderful black appearance and is designed for a large size. It has BIG.little radiators configured, two fans, and can provide a cooling performance of up to 230 Watts, which is sufficient for any modern processor.
It has been a while since we have tested an Arctic liquid cooling unit. Let's check out how well they do with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB, fitted with a 360mm radiator, silent cooling, and new aRGB fans.
Today, we are reviewing two air coolers from Cooler Master: MasterAir MA624 Stealth and MA612 Stealth ARGB. Usually, we had a chance to check the AIO solutions from them, so now it's a good opportunity to study what we can achieve more standardly. This will also be a nice occasion to present two types of cooling architecture, as the MA612 Stealth ARGB is a single-tower, and MA624 Stealth is a dual-tower
It has been a while since we have tested an Arctic liquid cooling unit. Let's check out how well they do with the Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 A-RGB, fitted with a 240mm radiator, silent cooling, and new aRGB fans.
Today, we are reviewing another air cooler from Scythe: the Mugen 5 Black Edition, coming from the best seller series of this Japanese manufacturer. It’s The last time we got our hands on this company’s cooler was at the end of 2020 (so not long ago) – it was the Ninja 5 (which earned the “Approved” award). This time around, it’s not a dual-tower CPU cooler but rather a single-tower.
Corsair has a refresh of liquid coolers, this round the Corsair H170i Elite Capellix edition is put on our test bench where we can check out the behavior of the triple-fan 420mm model. Corsair has paired the kit with their very best ML140 RGB Series magnetic levitation PWM fans and including an iCUE compatible fan/RGB HUB and Capellix RGB lit pump.
It has been almost two years since we made part 1 of Thermal Paste Roundup. The community gave us good feedback and appreciated the initial article; thus, we have prepared our second round of that article. We'll add 10 more compounds bringing the total close to 30 compounds tested.
In this review, we test the LIQMAX III aRGB with a 240mm radiator. This liquid cooling kit has got a bit of a reputation based on its first revision. We're now at iteration III, and check out the 240mm model armed with some aRGB but overall offering very decent performance in the 65 EUR/USD marker.
It has been a while since we have tested an Enermax liquid cooling unit. The brand has seen some negative press based on issues in the past. The most recent products however should give them a clean slate. Let's check out how well they do with the Enermax Aquafusion 360mm.
be quiet! gave their Silent Loop All-in-One Liquid cooling kit series an overhaul, and with success, we can say. The Silent loop 2 performs well and remains very silent. An updated pump design, a notch of RGB, and a coolant loop that can be refilled. We test the 280mm rad size version with two Silent Wings 3 fans.
Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from G.Skill: the Enki 360. It’s a debut for this brand in that sector, just like with Lian Li in July ’20. As for the name, Enki is the ancient Sumerian god of water, so that’s not a bad idea for this kind of product. We’ve received a 360 mm variant of this LCS, but there’s also a 240 mm and a 280 mm version, in case your chassis can’t fit the largest one (no pun intended) or if you’re on a tighter budget.
NZXT updated its Kraken series to revision 3 in an RGB flavor now as well, in this review we test the X63 version Liquid cooler. An AIO LCS liquid CPU cooler for cases with 280 mm radiator mounts. This updated revision CPU cooler is compatible with CAM software.
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Scythe: the NINJA 5. The last time we got our hands on this company’s cooler was a whopping 10 years ago – it was the Ninja 3 model (which earned the “Recommended” award). This time around it’s not a single-tower CPU cooler, but rather a dual one with two fans attached.
We test and review the all-new EK AIO Elite 360, an AIO liquid cooling kit from EK that can be bought in a new design with versions running up-to a 360mm rad. The kits come with Vardar ARGB compatible fans. Being EK, we do expect some decent cooling performance; armed with the fans, sleeved tubing, and a proper looking cooling block we'll see what EK has to offer in the massive LCS kit arena.
We review some liquid cooling (LCS) from ASUS, in particular the TUF branded model. The version we review offers a 240mm radiator, RGB fans and a cooling block stamped with that TUF logo. The kit did not disappoint.
Today, we are reviewing an air cooler from Deepcool: the AS500 (a bit too much similarity to the name of a recent Corsair air cooler – the A500, right?). It’s not the first Deepcool product that we reviewed here on guru3d. For example, over a year ago we had the opportunity to check out their flagship Assassin III model. This time around it’s a single-tower CPU cooler based on the five heat pipe design and a TF140S PWM fan, all packed into a slim form factor.
Corsair has released a new series of liquid coolers, this round the Corsair H100i Elite Capellix edition is put on our test-bench where we can check out the behavior of the smallest dual-fan 240mm model.

Be quiet! has overhauled its's liquid cooling series, all hail the Pure Loop. Not only does the LCS CPU cooler have new aesthetics, be quiet! did something unique, they place the pump in between tubing, in the hope to divert an Asetek patent we assume.
We review another be quiet! Pure Rock cooler, this round the Pure Rock 2. With more simplified looks and available in silver and black this cooler comes with a single radiator, one fan and is offering cooling performance up-to 150 Watts, enough for any modern processor.
