None, Neutral, None,
When it comes to mid-tier CPU cooling solutions you clearly have masses of options to choose from. Putting its excellent performance to one side, however, one simply has to be astonished that this is available to purchase for such a low price! Particularl...

Rubber mounts can't increase the cost too much, right?, Not the best performance or audibles
be quiet!'s name holds a lot of worth within the PC industry, well-known for their typical German engineering and attention to detail, and with the PURE ROCK 2, that reputation is well deserved, but it's not perfect.The build quality of the heatsink and f...

Ultra-low noise levels, Cost-effective, Available in two colour options

150W TDP cooling capacity, Great value, Support for AMD and Intel CPUs, be Quiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm fan, Easy to install
Not suitable for overclocking, Won't be able to handle enthusiast configs

Decent, and about just enough for most processors are the words that come to mind after reviewing the Pure Rock 2. At default clock frequencies any CPU up-to say 65W will be cooled sufficiently with AMD procs maybe even 90 Watts. For the new Comet Lake, I...
Good performance, Exceptionally quiet, Good build quality, Simple mounting hardware, No memory or GPU clearance issues, Lack of RGB will appeal to some
Better value options are available, Overall design may not appeal to everyone because it lacks RGB, Low noise by design does limit performance slightly
