Pure Rock 2 Black air cooler, 150W TDP cooling power, 4 high-performance 6mm heat pipes, HDT technology, Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM fan, elegant black surface, easily installable

I have an aging PC but its a PC that suits my needs. I have had it for six years from new, and the only issue I have noticed recently is the CPU temps while at normal general usage, are fine but if I do something that is quite intensive like converting videos, my temps spike to 100 degrees. To give an idea of specs, it is an Asus H110-R micro ATX mother board with an Intel i7 770 cpu and 32gb of ram. I have not done much with it over the years except add ram (it originally had one 8gb stick and now has two 16gb sticks) and add in a 2.5gb network card. The cooler that came with it was your basic run of the mill stock cooler. The CPU under general use was running around 45 to 46 degrees and as I say, 100 degrees under heavy load, which as anyone will know is not great. As I cannot upgrade my whole PC right now, I have decided to do what I can to extend its life. The cooler was an obvious choice. I have heard good things about Be Quiet coolers, so thought I would go with this one. Maybe it is overkill, I don't know, but I felt it was a fair price and has fittings for both Intel and AMD boards. I did watch a video on youtube beforehand to see how easy or hard it would be to fit, and I can only guess that there has been some revisions to its design as it was slightly different in a few places. But anyway, the instructions sheet that comes with it is quite useful, although it does get a little confusing with the screws as its not exactly 100% clear which to use sometimes. As you can expect with a lot of these kind of things, fitting it can be fiddly in places due to space in your rig and while fitting the bracket you have to mess about with both sides of the board while fitting the screws etc. Fine if you have dainty fingers, and not huge sausage fingers like me. There was a slight issue with screwing the actual cooler to the brackets, but after a bit of a faff I finally got that sorted as well. Probably the most awkward part was the clips that attach the fan to the main body of the cooler. But even that really wasnt that difficult and I could have probably made things easier by removing the ram giving myself more room. The cooler comes with one fan which you can fit either side of the main body, and has arrow markings on it to show which direction the fan spins and the direction of the air . You can fit a second fan if you feel like buying one and attaching it to the opposite side and the kit does come with a spare set of clips to attach it. This will obviously be dependant on whether your board will allow it as fans need power. So after a rather sweaty annoying session fitting the cooler it was time to test the PC out, and amazingly it all booted up with no issues and is currently running perfectly as I am typing this review with said PC. On general usage I am currently getting around 10 degrees less than before, and while doing a video conversion it actually only went up to 75 degrees, which is much better. Another thing that is cool with this cooler is it comes with already pre-applied thermal paste. Of course if you are not happy with that you are free to use your own, but if you don't mind using what is supplied it means it works straight out of the box without the need of spending money on thermal paste on top of the price of the cooler. Very happy with my purchase and fingers crossed it can help my PC last a few years longer now. Oh, and this will be very dependant on your rig, but you may need to adjust your fan speeds in the bios as sometimes these things default to full speed, which really is not necessary on most rigs. And yes, it is very quiet. Just as an update in June 2025 during a hearwave. Fan and PC are still doing very well, maintaining similar temps. Even under load with high ambient temps, it still is not going above 75 degrees. Well worth the money.

My computer is an ASUS B550 Plus, fitted with a RYZEN 5 5600g CPU and Wraith Stealth Cooler. It just ran TOO hot for my liking. Even at idle the temperature was 48°C to 52°C with the fan running at full speed. It was noisy. So, I replaced the stock cooler with this one. What a difference it made. That temperature shown in the screen shot was taken with a ambient room temperature of 24.5°C watching YouTube. Fitting is straight forward and it came supplied already coated with thermal paste. Points to note! 1. The pillars supplied have a recess at one end only to fit over the motherboard back plate pillar coming through the motherboard, so make sure the recess end fits onto the backplate correctly. This is not shown in the instructions. 2. You MUST recalibrate the BIOS Q-Fan settings. In the BIOS look for Q-Fan and start the calibration process. WHY, because the motherboard will not detect the low fan speed correctly and may not boot up or turn off some LED features on the motherboard. If this is a bug with ASUS I cannot find any reference to it. My system Booted up but the aura LED's were disabled. After the fan calibration everything was ok. Well, with that minor issue over I can highly recommend this cooler.

runs quiet even at full speed when gaming and streaming at the same time easy to fit even for inexperienced people will keep cpu cool under normal conditions but if running multiple apps might experience some higher cpu temps might upgrade to aio or custom loop in future but thats more personal preference than issue with the cooler

I had the AMD Stock Cooler for my cpu and the noise was too loud for me and made a rrrr sound so I decided to buy a new Cooler, (I recently built my pc). The Bequiet Cooler Pure Rock 2 is really good and makes way less sound, wearing headphones and playing I can't hear it or wearing headphones in general. When I put my PC on silent mode with the fan speed set to 20% and cpu underclocked it is slient. Putting it under normal load with my Ryzen 5 3600 and the fan is around 30-40% which temps for me being 48-55 degress and when it spikes to 59 it goes to 50% fan speed. The fan is very slient, it can still be heard when under the normal settings but it is very slient and not annoying and is a big improvement over my amd stock cooler reducing temps by 15-20 degrees. I'd give the go ahead if you are not overclocking and not using a 8 core cpu. You may want to look this cooler online and see other peoples opinion as this was just my experience. Also the mounting the cpu fan was a bit tough but and requires a bit of force to put on but its fine.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. I needed a cooler that could be put into an already built system as i was replacing the stock fan for AMD this did the trick nicely. Installation was relativity quick and completely hassle free. results are much better than i expected, with a name like Be Quiet! i expected quiet. But this product is absolutely silent even when i push my CPU hard. Makes a really nice change from the horrible wurring i was getting from the stock AMD. And the temps are great even after overclocking temps before with stock AMD : 45C idle. 70C load. temps now with Be Quiet! pure rock 2 black +overclock : 40C idle 55C Load. could be better but in this price range i can't imagine getting much better excellent cooler for <£50.

Be quiet! Is my go-to for all things fans. They make brilliantly well-put-together products which deliver great cooling performance at a great value to their customers - and this product is no exception! A little tricky to install due to the nature of the cross-bar having to fit into very narrow and exact slots, so may need a bit of wiggling to get it right. But otherwise very easy to install and provides a very secure fit to the MoBo. I would advise anyone buying this product to watch Be Quiet!’s YouTube video to help with installation and bear in mind the position of the cross-bar that runs across the cpu if they’re having any difficulty.

My current AIO had failed even though it was a quality brand, it had lasted only 4 years. Considering the replacement cost of another AIO I decided to try an air cooler instead. Be Quiet is a German manufacturer and has an excellent reputation for build quality and value for money. This cooler was rated as more than adequate for my AMD 65W TDP cpu, it came with 4 pin pwm cooling fan. The fitting instructions were very easy to follow although I initially didn't notice I had installed it the wrong way round. The cooler is designed with an offset so that it will clear tall RAM modules, my fault I didn't pay attention to this. Fitting was very easy and the cooler comes with a variety of adapters for both Intel and AMD cpu's. Performance so far has been really good, my 5800x cpu has a temperature in the low 30's centigrade at idle and reaches the low 60's when playing Call of Duty MW3 at 1440p.

Still loud under heavy load but better than other coolers

Article conforme à la description et de bonne qualité. Seul problème, le ventilateur est un peu difficile à fixer au radiateur avec les attaches fournies (un meilleur système de fixation serait une nette amélioration). Sinon le refroidissement est bon et sans être bruyant.

مبرد اسطوري بمعنى الكلمة ، انا كان عندي مبرد انتل العادي على معالج i51400 وكان صوت المرحة مزعج جداً ، وسرعه المروحة تطلع وتنزل كل خمس ثواني ، والحرارة توصل فوق ٨٥ اغلب الاوقات اثناء اللعب ، لكن مع هذا المبرد الحرارة ماتعدت ٥٥ والصوت هادىء وثابت ، اشتريه بدون تردد على مسؤوليتي 🔥🔥👍👍

The Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 CPU Cooler is a great little cooler. I had it connected up to a AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D. Running temperature was 33 celsius. Ran a burn in test and it handled it easily with temps only getting to 81 celsius

Yakın zamanda daha iyi bir işlemcide kullanacak olsamda i5 6500 üzerinde denemesini yaptım. 2 saat işlemci kullanımı %100 olacak şekilde stres testine soktuğumda en fazla 55 dereceyi gördüm. Ortam sıcaklığı 25 derece. 55 dereceye soğutmak için fanlar 795 rpm hızına çıktı. Yani max hız olan 1400 rpm ile daha iyi bir soğutma performansına ulaşmak mümkün. Tabi %100 de bir miktar ses te oluyor, bunu göz önünde bulundurmak gerek. Genel olarak gayet memnunum. Yüksek tdp değerine sahip bir işlemci ile test etme fırsatı bulduğumda yorumu güncellemeye çalışacağım.

So be quiet are not a small company anymore and it shows that they been in the buiz for some time now. This cooler is great, its goodlooking, easy to install, does the job good, and last but really important its quite. Its like a better looking Noctua but the finstacking is less I think it has less pipes then the top tier Noctua. If u have the money buy Noctua but this is the second best choice. I love it.
