- QUIET OPERATION: The Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM fan supports the best balance of perfect cooling and quiet operation. Nine silence-optimized fan blades generate high airflow characteristics that reduce noise-generating turbulences. The fan’s durable rifle-bearing technology contributes to a long lifespan of up to 80,000 hours.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2021First things first, the cooler is of amazing quality and provides exceptional performance. I'm a function over form type of guy so I have always sought out downdraft style coolers for my builds. The mounting system is very simple and sturdy, just as good as noctua in my opinion. This has been the best downdraft cooler I've ever used. So in the photos you see I swapped the fan to an Arctic because Arctic sells their fans in five packs and that's how many fans that case has room for. Right now it's cooling a max voltage 11400 and stays below 70 and whisper quiet during day long gaming sessions. In my opinion if you're spending money on a build, and downdraft coolers interest you, then there's no question that this is worth a look, if you don't necessarily have a heat problem and can't justify $50 for a cooler then get something else, you can get a $10-20 air cooler that will cool almost anything as long as you're not overclocking. But for small form factors and/or high wattage CPUs then this cooler with the added benefits of being a downdraft style cooler make this an easy number one pick for me. Keep in mind that style and a compact size do come at cost, and that for me that was clearance for the ram and VRM heat spreaders. If you set it up the way I did, because my VRM heat sinks are very tall and would not fit under the extended side of the cooler. That's not a problem it's just something to take into consideration when planning around this cooler, use low profile ram. For reference, the board is an MSI h510i pro Wi-Fi and the RAM is crucial ballistics. The cooler would not clear gskill rip jaws in The orientation pictured. Great cooler if it fits your style and/or application. Mounting system noise level easy to install. Give a thumbs up if you appreciate my honest review!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2016Pros: Low profile, quiet fan, cools relatively well for a small heatsink
Cons: Not that easy to install, quirky design
Specs of the computer I installed this in:
Processor: Intel i5 6600k
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
RAM: Corsair LPX 16GB DDR4
Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX
I had a different heatsink installed before this, so all components have been installed prior. Because the case is relatively spacious for an ITX, I had plenty of room to work with. Installing the backplate is relatively straight forward, and shouldn't cause too many problems. However, for most ITX motherboards, getting the heatsink and fan installed might be a little bit tricky. Before screwing in the mounting arms, make sure to figure out how you want to orient the heatsink. Make sure you have enough clearance for your capacitors, RAM, and other components. I had to watch out for an internal USB3 port, so I only had one option for orientation. Once you figure out how you want to mount the heatsink, getting it secured is pretty straight forward. The Shadow Rock uses one solid bar to hold the heatsink to the arms. The heatsink comes with thermal paste pre-applied, so you don't need to worry about that. If you prefer to use your own, just wipe the base with a clean cloth and you'll be good to go. Getting the fan to attach to the heatsink can be a bit of a challenge since the included brackets don't flex very well. Combined with the limited space of an ITX case, it took me a few tries before I could get the fan to attach. I've installed many heatsinks in many differenet form factors, and I would say this was probably one of the more difficult ones. If you have installed Noctua heatsinks, then you'll know how easy installation can be. Unfortunately, be quiet! doesn't have that part down yet. Additionally, the included instructions are pretty vague.
Heat dissipation is pretty good. On idle, the 6600k hovers around 25-30C. Under load, it can shoot up to 40-50C. These temperatures might be a little bit lower than a standard rig since I don't have a discrete graphics card installed yet. Also, the Evolv ITX is a bit larger than other ITX cases, so that should be noted as well. Under normal circumstances, this fan is extremely quiet. For all intents and purposes, it is silent; ambient noise drowns out any sound it might make.
Overall, I'm happy with this heatsink, and it definitely should be considered for ITX rigs. Installation isn't the easiest, but it shouldn't be too difficult for seasoned builders either. It works very well with the latest Intel (and AMD) processors, and doesn't break the bank. be quiet! is a relatively new player in the CPU cooler market, but they are very promising. Give this one some serious consideration.

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018Bought the heatsink for an AM4 mATX motherboard and Corsair LPX Vengeance RAM. There are maybe about 5-7 milli-meters clearance from top of the RAM. The installation can be a bit tricky if the mainboard was mounted in the case. The AM4 thread right angle piece (2X) should have been tapped and countersink as a guide-in for the screw would ease the installation process. Can't access the RAMs once the heatsink installed. There are alternate mounting orientation for Intel and other AMD sockets, BUT not for AM4 socket. The end, where the bended heat-pipes, radiate from the CPU's contact pad had to be faced toward the I/O side, or its will definitely interfere with the RAM slots. Cooling performance is really good. Around 35-38°C with fan on the heatsink. and slightly above 50°C with just the rear exhausted fan. Per PcPartPicker folk's suggestion, its also cool the VRM as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2017I just installed this on my open frame AMD desktop that sits only a couple of feet from my ears and what a difference it makes. The stock fan frequently would spin up to maximum speed and was very loud. This new fan is so quiet that I can now hear other fans in nearby equipment that I never heard before.
It was a slight pain to install and the instructions could be more detailed, but in the end it took maybe 15 minutes without any real frustrations.
It has only been a few hours since I put it in, but this is already making a significant impact on my quality of life!

5.0 out of 5 stars 36 dB (Amazingly quite)
Have it on my AMD RYZEN 5 3400G 4-Core 3.7 GHz in the Thermaltake Core G3 Black ATX case. The system is running Win10 and used primarily for streaming music from Tidal via Roon. So it needed to super quite low profile next to my amp and turntable.
This installation was a bit challenging with very minimal space to work around and larger heat sink that does just pass over the memory sticks. But this cooler is Outstanding! Here’s a few images of the case I work with, the clearance challenge and the dB measurement with the glass side panel off . Only 36 dB with an average load.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente Producto - Fotos Adjuntas
Lo recibí hoy y lo instalé hace un rato, no tuve que leer el instructivo para saber como colocarlo en mi motherboard (aunque es muy recomendable hacerlo, sobre todo si no tienes mucha experiencia en computadoras), aunque cabe señalar que tuve que desmontar la motherboard de mi gabinete para instalarlo.
En cuanto a rendimiento, es excelente, mi motherboard se calienta demasiado pero la parte que excede el tamaño del socket del cpu, me ayuda a enfriarla, también es funcional si lo colocas al lado contrario para enfriar tu memoria RAM (sólo RAM con cubierta pequeña, si usas Corsair Vengeance o parecidas no cabe)
No lo he probado exhaustivamente, pero puedo poner hasta ahora que sin carga se mantiene ~23°C y con Rise of the Tomb Rider en Ultra Settings no pasa de 50°C

5.0 out of 5 stars Ventilador ultrasilencioso - Perfecto para torres Matx
He comprado este ventilador porque necesitaba algo que enfriara un I7 Gen8 montado en una torre Slim Matx (Unika Matx sobremesa 2010) ha superado todas mis expectativas en absoluto.
Pros:
*Muy silencioso - tengo la torre en cima de mi mesa justo al lado del monitor y solo escuchas ruido si pones el oido pegado a la torre (es cierto que uso una fuente ultra silenciosa que tambien ayuda a bajar el nivel de ruido Corsair SF450) total ruido de la torre 12db
*Enfria a 26ºC el CPU sin apenas esfuerzo
*Capacidad de 130W TDP - O sea es capaz de enfriar un I7 K con overclocking dentro de una torre Matx
*Debido a su tamaño cubre las memorias RAM y de paso las enfria tambien
*Precio muy accesible cuando tienes en cuenta las caracteristicas del ventilador en relacion a otras marcas
Contras:
*Es gigantesco - Como se puede ver en la foto cubre casi toda la motherboard
*Si quieres ampliar RAM tienes que desmontar el ventilador para cualquier tipo de cambio
*Un poco lioso para montarlo, viene con varios adaptadores como admite muchos tipos de Sockets - De 1 a 5 de dificuldad le doy un 3. Hay que leer el manual de instrucciones con atención.
Muy recomendable!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very efficient LP cooler for the money
Excellent delivery turnaround by Amazon as per usual, a bit fiddly to install and especially when trying to align up the two mounting screws - I also strongly recommend that you source a very slim phillips screw driver when attempting to do this part of the assembly as otherwise you can bend the fins when attempting to tighten the screws themselves because of the two screw gaps being very narrow.
Besides that - the cooler itself performs very well and really surprised me considering it's low profile and also taking into account that I'm using it for my Mini ITX build. Idle temps are the usual 35-40c depending how warm my room is at any given time but full load / gaming temps never seem to exceed 60c. Doing a full blown CPU stress test in say AIDA64 only see's the temps max out to 64c as well. Noise temps being a Be Quiet cooler do not disappoint either, virtually silent when idle and still somewhat quiet even when at full pelt.
Overall - very happy and would recommend.
