Finished Looks

The be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim 2 offers a very nice level of contrast to our black-on-black build between the motherboard and chassis. Its bright brushed aluminium top plate immediately stands out, while the simplistic black be quiet! logo points out the brand without it being overly flashy. Its lack of ARGB lighting will likely be a selling point for some as well. Overall, the cooler is simple, clean, and downright elegant for a regular tower cooler.


In terms of memory and graphics card clearance, there really isn't much to report. Memory cleared the fan just fine even if a bit close, and the graphics card is nowhere near touching the fan clips, so no worries there either. Overall, it offers perfect clearance on our AMD and Intel test benches.
