be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim, Shadow Rock TF2, Silent Loop Coolers Pictured
be quiet! is at it again this Computex, showing off a myriad for new products which look to fill the company's line-up with some extra cooling capabilities. The Shadow Rock Slim stands as a new, slim tower cooler, which should help in cramped environments where maintaining availability of that pesky leftmost RAM slot can be a problem (another solution might be just cutting the leftmost RAM slot entirely!)
In addition, the company also showcased the Shadow Rock TF2, another compact cooling solution - this time on the Z axis. It can dissipate up to 160 W, features five copper heatpipes and has an operating noise of up to 24.4 dbA, which isn't all too shabby. But if you are looking for a new cooling solution for your GPU (maybe your Founder's Edition NVIDIA graphics card, why not) be quiet! has you covered with their new Silent Loop. This is an AIO which looks to be both performant and expensive, since its radiator is being touted as a full copper solution. The Silent Loop features three Silent Wing 2 PWM controlled fans. The pump has some tricks up its sleeve as well, being a decoupled, reverse-flow solution which be quiet! says is quieter, smoother and less prone to vibrations than more conventional pump designs.

Link to your review please?
Cable routing is a PITA in this case, how many other cases have you owned and built in? The motherboard tray makes it a PITA because of those extra brackets to keep the tray sturdy. The finish on mine was bent and the brown tint in the glass is ugly. Modularity is great, but for me, I had to take pliers to the PSU bracket to be able to actually put a PSU in it. The magnets holding the front door are too weak, when building the door keeps opening, which causes a high chance to break the door, etc etc., you can read the rest in the review ;)
