Quiet and efficient CPU cooler

My old CPU fan was too loud and not really efficient. Have first the slightly more favorable Arctic Freezer 13 tried, but which was not much quieter than my build-in cooler. Since I already have a be quiet! Case fans have built, I do not have to look long.

Advantages:
- very quiet
- Efficient cooling
Pre-applied thermal grease already -
- Good workmanship

Disadvantages:
(Motherboard must be removed) relatively costly installation -
- Fasten the fan a little shaky (is held by only two brackets on the fins, but holds good even in vertical operation)

The Pure rock really is super quiet and efficient. It cools again 2-3 degrees lower than the Arctic Freezer. I use it on an Intel LGA 1155 socket with a i7-3770 processor (not overclocked). Since I do not need high-performance, the value of this fan is perfect.

Only the installation is a little more tricky. I must say that I've never installed a CPU fan (the Arctic Freezer is only plugged) and the Pure rock the motherboard needs to be strengthened so that the backplate can be mounted. But even I as an absolute (female) beginners, it did manage with a bit of tact and courage in about 2 hours)

The dimensions are just fits my ASUS PC, he should not have been greater. The fan covers with me a RAM module, but that does not bother extent.

All in all, really a great part, if you do not want to spend much money on a CPU cooler and a quiet fan wants. Simply unbeatable :)
