BeQuiet! SHADOW ROCK SLIM BK010 CPU Cooler (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

I have for a possible silent and space saving cooler wanted, which was to replace the boxed fan of my Core i5 3570K and have superior decided after much for this here.
I want Vorrausschicken that my CPU is currently (despite K variant) not overclocked, ie it runs at 3.4GHz, and 4 GHz in Turbo Boost. Since the processor so far with me has never been the limiting component, or at least it has not been significantly disturbed me, overclocking is for me so far not been necessary. Anyone looking for a CPU cooler for powerful overclocking, possibly being at the wrong address, but slight room for improvement, it offers all.

-The Installation
Despite instructions to the installation designed somewhat difficult. It requires a lot of tact and in my case also briefly a second person. However, I do not screw every day on PCs around, so I might just missing only a little practice. However, the installation is definitely doable with a little patience, but could be solved a little easier.

-The Cooling capacity
When I first after installation the temperature of the CPU time have checked, at first I was a bit disillusioned, because the temperature in idle of ~ 40 has "only" improved to 34 degrees. Positively surprised me, however, the temperature under full load. Despite moderately ventilated housing and a relatively high room temperature I could not get over 48 degrees here. A peak value, I think that, as already mentioned above, also offers room for future overclocking.
The cooling performance has exceeded my expectations in any case, especially when you have volume and comparatively compact construction into account.

-The Volume
Here are a few words in advance: In principle, I am not very sensitive to noise, I usually wear a headset while playing and while working me a slight background noise does not bother much. The boxed Intel fan but has definitely gone too far. This bothered me less the volume per se, but rather the frequency. During the boxed fan of AMD just sounds like a leaf blower, comes in the variant of Intel still an intolerable buzzing added. Perhaps because I had also just unlucky and caught a bad model for my boxed fan.
In my system, in addition to Shadow Rock Slim still make 2 housing fan, 2 HDDs and a GTX 770 from MSI barney, with the result that even under full load the fan from the outside is not heard, and now the slightest mechanical component in my is PC.
Here were my, added relatively low, demands. beQuiet! is actually program here.

-Conclusion:
A good, efficient and very quiet CPU cooler, where you have to have no fear that he might come to RAM-bars in the way. Only something in my eyes complicated installation prevents 5-star rating.
