Three CPU coolers from be quiet! can convince in extensive cooler round up
A detailed round up with eight current tower CPU coolers was published at HW-Journal from Germany. Among the three be quiet! models is the Shadow Rock Slim, Pure Rock and Dark Rock Pro 3. This cooler scores with a good price-performance ratio, solid and flawless build quality, good cooling performance as well as quiet operation. Although HW-Journal assumes that a second fan would have lead to even better performance, the team gives their Editor's Recommendation Award to the be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim.
Pure Rock is the cheapest cooler in the test, but does not have to hide behind the more expensive ones, due to a solid, flawless build quality, and good cooling performance. With its very good price-performance ratio the Pure Rock from be quiet! ultimately wins the Price Performance Award.
Dark Rock Pro 3, according to the editor, underlines its positioning at the top of be quiet!'s portfolio with a very sleek design as well as great build quality. HW-Journal gives it the Silver and the Silent Award in addition thanks to the very quiet operation.
“At 39 € you get a cooler, which also is able to handle any CPU and with a second fan might have beat even more of its competition.
If you are looking for a solid and cost-effective cooler for standard operation, the be quiet! Pure Rock is worth considering.
The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 is undoubtedly the manufacturer's top model. This is not only apparent by the dual tower design and the pure dimensions, but also by the very sleek look and the build quality.”
