be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 CPU Cooler Review

Although the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 is touted as a high-end cooling solution, I would freely concede that I had my doubts whether this would be possible out of a rather quirky top-flow design cooler. How wrong was I?! – As can be seen in our results below, the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 is quite possibly one of the best overall cooling solutions we have ever encountered. – Of the four tests conducted, it managed to top the charts in three of them with the only exception being the overclocked temperature control. An area which, quite frankly, you’d never expect an air cooler to truly compete at the highest-end with. – As you can see there though, while not quite at the top of that list, it’s really close.
Oh, and just to confirm something that the branding should’ve already dropped you a lead balloon hint towards, this was amazingly quiet and that is in no doubt thanks to those, quite possibly market-leading, Silent Wings fans.
There is absolutely no other way you can look at this, the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 is exceptionally good. In fact, it’s quite possibly the best cooler (both air and AIO) I’ve come across yet, period.
