be quiet! Shadow Rock TF 2 CPU Cooler Review

Installation


Normally, I will photograph a coolers mounting process. However, the be quiet! one is just so damn awkward to do. The process is made infinitely worse by the large VRM cooler on our motherboard. Any hope of installing this inside a chassis are gone. To install this, I need to remove the board from the bench, sit on the couch, the motherboard on my lap. You need to thread the small screws over the self-assembly brackets. A tiny off-set spanner is then needed to tighten them and it’s a small tool, small screws, and dropping them is common. Honestly be quiet!, figure out a way to do this with a screwdriver please!

It’s not impossible, obviously, but it’s not easy either and may put off some inexperienced system builders.

Anyway, moving on for now, the cooler looks great in situ, and the design means great clearance for memory and a low height that’s unlikely to conflict with your chassis.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
