be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 130W TDP CPU Cooler | Intel1700 1200 1150 1151 1155 | AMD4 AMD5 | Silver | BK030

Bought two of these. Was surprised that it fit in a micro Coolermaster N200 case. Have a bit of room to close the lid. It is a little tricky to get the hooks on but surprised that it keeps a Ryzen 9600 cpu very cool. I love the copper piping. Isn't very heavy either. Worked great on the two computers I built recently.

Easy to install, looks good, runs quiet and keeps the chip cooled

I put this on an 5900XT (16 cores, 32 threads). It runs cool, it's quiet, well made, and it looks nice. Temps have never gotten close to throttling levels so far. It's far more reasonably priced than water coolers. Mounting wasn't difficult, but you need to change the motherboard fan mounts. Examine the instructions carefully as the mounting brackets are not interchangable, and need to be in a specific orientation. Be aware the heat pipes extend out over the RAM, and there may be clearance issues with some RAM modules. It's also pretty large, and it may not fit in smaller cases.

I have an ITX-Mini industrial type all-in one ultra-slim open air mesh frame chassis & motherboard with an i7-4790S cpu, that has been a beast to tame workload heat, in this smallest of form-factor chassis, in an open to the elements temperature environment, and much to much dismay, and satisfaction, the Be Quite! Pure Rock LP finally solved my CPU heat throttling problems. The original OEM installed CPU cooler was essentially the basic original Intel aluminum lug & fin, topped with a fan, reference CPU cooler, but cut down to very low 37+mm profile to fit in an ultra-slim desktop chassis. Searching for better replacements I found the Noctua NH-L9i cooler was a few mm's tool tall to fit in the chassis, and that it had height tolerances problems in the CPU clearance zone underneath the CPU cooler. An ARCTIC Alpine 12 LP did fit the clearance issues, and had lower noise, and power use; however still being based on an aluminum lug & fin design, (no heat pipes), still was not able to keep up with sustained temperatures, under even moderate loads. When Be Quite announced their new LP cooler and that it was a copper heat pipe design, fit into the most minimal/maximal dimensions limits allowed for CPU cooler tolerance zones, and could tame even newer generation CPU's, I was skeptical. But as a still last ditch resort to keep a workhorse computer thermally tamed, I decided to purchase one, give a try, with the clearance issues, see if I could even get it installed, and if it could improve on the Alpine LP. Mission successful !!! The install was razor shave close cut; not even micro-micrometers to spare in clearance tolerance all the way around, after mounting; from the top of the fan just barely touching the chassis cover, and with the CPU cold plate fit and around & underneath the cooler; including the cooler and mounting bracket just barely fit over a row of power capacitors sitting just below the bracket. The mounting certainly is "flexible" but this turned out to be a benefit, after getting the mounting brackets and screws tightened into place. The bracket installation wrench provided & needed to tighten the CPU mounting bolts, (not the mounting screws), had some difficulty getting around tight part clearances, that were right up and into the CPU cooler clearance zone, but I was able to work the wrench enough to secure the mounting bolts to the brackets; then tighten the mounting screws. After turning the system back on, immediately I noticed a 10-20 deg F. reduction, as compared to typical temps with the Alpine LP. And even with now spring summer temperatures coming on, and the ability to cool the cpu is being impacted by increase in ambient air temps, the Be Quit! LP has continued to maintain the heat dissipation, through all load testing; most notably that CPU is staying below throttle temperatures where; the OEM installed could never do, and Alpine LP could barely keep up with! Additionally noticed is that the noise level was way down, even at full RPM the Be Quit! Any fan noise had a slight low hum winy noise, but only noticeable at maximum RPM. Overall, this CPU cooler solved a long and ongoing cooling problem in a very minimalist chassis install, and it does it with no no high speed fans, or related added noise.

I bought this to replace an Arctic Freezer 34 eSports cooler I thought I was having trouble with. It turned out to be a different issue all together, so I put that cooler in another system (same CPU, GPU, cases and fans) and run them side by side. Most of this review will be a comparison of these two coolers. What I find most surprising is that the Arctic is quieter. The Pure Rock isn't obtrusive or by any means loud, but you can't hear the Arctic over the GPU fans when the systems are under load. You can hear the Pure Rock. The Pure Rock's mount covers the entire heat spreader (5600X), the Arctic's does not.. but there is no real difference in CPU temperatures under load. Both coolers keep the CPU at about 31 C idling and running a stress test I see maybe 64 C. The Pure Rock does seem to ramp up more slowly, but the difference is pretty minor. I prefer the mounting system on the Arctic, although both are quite solid. The fan clips are more secure on the Arctic. Overall the Pure Rock 2 is a very good cooler for the money, and the two I'm discussing here are for all intents and purposes interchangeable. The Pure Rock's cooler assembly seems to be of slightly higher quality, with it's added heat block and the caps on the heat pipes. All of the mounting components, both the motherboard mount and the fan retention clips are easier to use on the Arctic, and the fan retention clips are far and away more secure on the Arctic as well. At the same price point I'd choose the Arctic.

Nice and Cool and Quiet as the name implies! I don't understand all the reviews stating it has no AM4 mounting works with mine!

Perfectly easy to set up. Bit huge and wouldn't fit with my RAM. but it's detachable and "move around-able" fans fixed that in a hurry. 4 Stars easily.

Cooling my Ryzen 5700X with this and it does a great job. Rarely over 70C when I play games, and also very quiet. A fitting upgrade to the Wraith Prism I used before, which was both loud and had my CPU creeping up towards 80C in some cases.

Buon prodotto, silenzioso, montato su un ryzen5 9600x, fa egregiamente il suo dovere, sovradimensionato rispetto al consumo in watt del processore.

Perfect

The be quiet! Pure Rock 3 LX CPU Air Cooler is solid and quiet. I am using it for a Ryzen with 65W TDP and it keeps it nice and cool. Great value.
