Good clearance for RAM and PCIe

Neutral
The price is perhaps just slightly too high to tempt the more casual level consumer away from entry-level options
Aesthetics are a bit dull or mismatched with bare copper
Price is slightly on the high side for this calibre of cooler
The be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 is the upgraded version of Shadow Rock Slim and comes with an optimized mounting kit with easy installation. The cooler is aimed at compact systems where the balance between performance and quietness is required. The coole...

Our overriding opinion for the be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 is that the cooler delivers solid thermal performance alongside outstanding noise levels with a non-intrusive - slim - design.Versus a realistic competitor in the Zalman CNPS10X Performa Black th...

The be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 offers consumers a fantastic triple whammy. It looks fantastic, has clearly been built to an exceptionally high standard, and in terms of performance (both in temperature and acoustics) is absolutely phenomenal for what is...

Shadow Rock Slim 2 ticks a lot of the right boxes for a modern, no-nonsense build. Priced to compete against the rival Noctua at £44, be quiet!'s compact cooler delivers comparable performance and lower noise, albeit with a shorter three-year warranty...
Easy installation, Solid performance given its size, Very quiet, Price
No RGB fan option
I am actually a huge fan is slimmer single tower coolers. Lets face it the massive dual-tower, dual-fan coolers really take up a lot of real estate inside your system, cover your RGB memory, and most of the time are a pain in the ass to install. That is w...
Honestly, when receiving the Shadow Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler from be quiet! I didn't have great expectations for how well it would perform. It is true that it has been seven years since the debut of the original Shadow Rock Slim model, but to put it plain...

be quiet! continues to surprise me with their most recent releases. The tiny Pure Rock Slim 2 that I reviewed a few months ago shattered what I thought such a small cooler could achieve at such a low price. Now, the Shadow Rock Slim 2 has almost matched t...
Great low-noise performance, Very quiet even at maximum RPM, Perfect memory and graphics card clearance, Very good build quality, No ARGB lighting, which is great for those that see it as a gimmick
Lower cost alternatives steal its thunder for those not worried about noise, AM4 mounting hardware can be improved, Couldn't handle AMD FPU overclocking tests, Lack of ARGB will be a deal-breaker for some
The be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 has an MSRP of $45.90. Great low-noise performance Very quiet even at maximum RPM Perfect memory and graphics card clearance Very good build quality No ARGB lighting, which is great for those that see it as a gimmick Lowe...
Premium build quality, Silent operation, Solid performance for a budget price,
No RGB option (be quiet! standard)
The be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 provides great cooling in a compact package for those needing something much quieter than some of the alternatives. The 135mm fan moves a massive volume of air over the optimized fin stack, delivering excellent performance...
