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

Customer Review

Have not acquired it through Amazon, would still useable create here a review, since some have AMD users sometimes already praised the cooler, get the impression that it fits perfectly.

Is really a great cooler, of the processing, appearance, test reports ... but what nobody says, is that you can install on AM3 sockets him NOT so he BACKWARD blows.
He will blow only up or down, that is the video card back or down into the housing (when standing assembled motherboards (where the short side is up or down) !!!

Have him therefore against a rel. equivalent Mugen 4 traded from Scythe. Wanted to stay priced under. Suspect though, that I now volume excessively may bad drive, but the air flow must be correct if you please, especially in a tower (have the Silverstone SST-TJ08B-E), is which designed so that air flows from front to back.

Incidentally, all these cooler manufacturer cheaters: On their website they write that a cooler of course be supported AMD sockets, but that it can only be completely unsuitable mounted, they are silent. Mostly, they are on Intel systems mounted correctly (backwards flow) but just on AMD then rotated 90 ° (and therefore wrong). Correct would be a blow up only when one can be mounted on top of the housing a fan.

There are manufacturers who are able to develop assembly bridges, where Intel and AMD users their coolers can rotate 90 ° as they want. Wahnsin, it comes! Eg. Noctua do that. It's all real missile technology that create a few.
