The CPU cooler being reviewed today is the be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 Black. This dual-fan dual-tower air cooler features six heat pipes and an offset design for better memory compatibility. Add in its black coating, simple yet elegant looks and a lack of ARGB lighting, and you have the potential for a stealthy yet powerful air cooler for those more understated builds. Add in an attractive price and three-year warranty and on paper it looks like a good all around offering. That said, let's take a closer look and see what it is capable of!
