Be Quiet Shadow Rock 2 CPU Cooler Review

In our noise level tests we switched off all the case fans and replaced the AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics card with a HD 5550 passive model so were just taking into account the noise generated by the cooler fans themselves.

We measured the noise level with a Digital Noise Level meter at a distance of 1 m from the front of the system.

From above we can deduce that all five configurations are very quiet, with three registering under the minimum 30 dBA sensitivity on our equipment.  Out of the five, we would say that the Dark Rock 2 was the quietest.  In fact we would quite happily describe it as silent.

Fallout 4 Anniversary

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition announced for all systems (including Switch 2)

Just under 10 years ago, Fallout 4 officially released to the world. While the game is far from perfect, it resonated with millions thanks to its sandbox-like design and focus on exploration among other ancillary additions (such as the settlement mechanic and base building). As they have done with many of their previous games, Bethesda has now officially announced Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition – bundling the base game alongside its DLC and hundreds of user-created mods.

  1. They make such great fans. I use several of them in my system and its transformed it (thermaltake case). Highly recommended from me!

  2. yeah great coolers, I almost bought one and im sorry I didnt now. as my corsair H60i is loud as hell.,

  3. expensive IMO, like their products, but they are always priced a little higher than competitors and most people wouldn’t mind a little extra noise for more cooling performance.
