be quiet! Pure Rock 2 150W TDP CPU Cooler | Intel-1700 1200 2066 1150 1151 1155 2011-3 Square ILM | AMD-AM4 for Desktop | Black | BK007

I barely hear the thing and it does a great job cooling the CPU. Fits great and looks slick!

keeps my Ryzen 3700x cool like no tomorrow

No issues yet and it beats an AIO that keeps leaking.

Two words - GERMAN ENGINEERING! Do I need to say more? Buy it you won't regret it. Fits my Gigabyte Aorus Z790 motherboard like a glove and is very quiet! I was skeptical if it will clear my Gigabyte Aorus heat sinks but it fit perfectly even with 4 sticks of RGB memory sticking up. Very satisfied. Just be careful not to bend the fins while installing. It also comes with a good installation video and pre-attached thermal paste. Intel Core i9-14900KF runs at 32C idle with 72 deg ambient temp, very good cooler I am buying a 2nd one.

for 50 dollars, you're getting a pure performance no RGB german CPU cooler, the price is good, but the installation is a little wonky, they give you everything needed to install the cooler tho, but I recommend buying some extra thermal paste because this cooler is pretty easy to screw up.

Pros- My CPU came with a cooler out of the box, however it took up space in the worst way possible. Even though the Be Quiet! CPU cooler's heat sink is MASSIVE it scales upwards before it starts scaling outwards which allows you access to ALL the necessary parts of your motherboard while providing a huge heatsink which helps keep things cool- The Fan can be fit to your needs and blow either direction, it fits nicely on the CPU cooler- Pins that hold the fan are TIGHT which provides piece of mind that the fan won't come down tumbling on top of the GPU or other components- This thing runs cold, like really cold. Out of the box my CPU was running at 30C with this CPU Cooler. I decided to overclock my CPU to the recommended max overclock and it still remains under 45C under heavy gaming load and during all stress tests.- Comes with every mounting brace imaginable to man, it will fit on your motherboard there are brackets for multiple motherboard options and it comes with a simple assembly guide to help you attach it correctly- Comes with thermal paste ready to go and it applies nicelyCons- I wasn't aware of which way the CPU Cooler was supposed to be facing. So I had to detach and reattach within a 5 minute time frame, which wasn't fun with the thermal paste, but it worked out; I used this in my first PC build, so just make sure you know which way your motherboard is going into your case so you can assemble it with the words "Be Quiet!" not facing upside down in your caseOverall- I'd buy again. No complaints. I'm not sure how it fairs to those in the price range but I feel like i got my money's worth- My CPU is happy and running cool- I have not heard the fans on this thing once, can't hear them during stress tests, gaming, or anything else, which is awesome

Install these in all of my budget builds , straight to the point and super cool!

It’s quite a large cooler, so make sure you have a case that can accommodate it. It’s incredibly silent. The only time I hear this fan is at first boot, when I turn the machine on. It’s of great build quality. Thermals are great so long as you use correct thermal paste and remember to remove the plastic covering on the base of the cooler. The mounting system was a bit tricky to install, only because I have an older motherboard. Despite this, I was able to fit the cooler perfectly. It’s compatible with a lot of different motherboard models, including older ones. It’s quite expensive but for what it’s worth, it keeps temps low under stress, is dead silent, and looks great!
