Description: be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 Review - Unexpected Results

Versatile and quiet low-profile tower-type CPU air cooler with a horizontal single-section radiator, a large 135mm fan and five high-efficiency copper heat pipes. Differs in small height (112 mm) that gives the chance for installation in compact cases with limited free space. An important feature of the Be quiet Shadow Rock TF 2 CPU cooler is the horizontal fan arrangement, which provides moderate airflow around the socket space of the motherboard and cools the power elements of the CPU VRM converter.

It is positioned as a product of the middle price category, designed to cool a wide range of Intel / AMD processors of the Mainstream, Performance class with a heat dissipation of up to 160 W. The performance of the nine-bladed full-profile fan with long life bearing is PWM controlled, and the impeller speed can be varied from 400 to 1400 rpm with a very moderate noise level of up to 24.4 dB(A).
