A big thank you to be quiet! for supplying the review sample.
Be quiet! is well known as a top-tier manufacturer that continues to produce numerous silence-focused products for the DIY PC market. From cases and coolers to fans and power supplies, they remain an enthusiast favorite for this very reason. Their reputability stems from consistent adherence to their company motto: "no compromise silence and performance." Where other manufacturers jump onto the latest new trend, be quiet! sticks to their roots, adopting new features when it makes engineering sense. Thereby offering consumers refined innovation, superb quality, and reliable performance.
In today's review, I will look at the Pure Rock 2 FX from be quiet!. This single tower cooler uses a slightly offset design for great memory compatibility, combined with their new Light Wings fan to add everyone's love it or hate it feature; ARGB lighting. The cooler is rated capable of handling a TDP of up to 150 W. It handles heat via an HDT base comprised of four heat pipes. With a visually appealing aesthetic, be quiet!'s latest offering certainly looks the part, but performance matters more, so let's see what the Pure Rock 2 FX can do!
