Manufacturer description

The be quiet! Pure Rock 2 in black is a 150W TDP tower cooler built for people who want a quiet desktop without moving to liquid cooling. Four 6mm heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU heat spreader via HDT technology, pulling heat into a stack of aluminum fins that a Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM fan feeds with airflow-optimized blades. That fan tops out at 26.8 dB(A), so under load the Pure Rock 2 stays closer to background noise than to the whine of a stock cooler. The heatsink uses an asymmetrical layout that shifts the fin stack away from the DIMM area, which keeps memory slots reachable…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Pure Rock 2 fit my CPU socket?

The included kit covers Intel LGA-1700, 1200, 1151, 1150, 1155, 2066 and 2011-3 Square ILM, plus AMD AM4. Other sockets are not listed for this BK007 model, so confirm your board's socket before ordering.

How loud is it under load?

The Pure Wings 2 120mm PWM fan is rated at a maximum of 26.8 dB(A), which is why be quiet! positions this cooler for silent multimedia and graphics builds rather than maximum-airflow rigs.

Is 150W TDP enough for my processor?

150W TDP handles mainstream and mid-range gaming CPUs comfortably. If your chip pulls more than that sustained, or you plan heavy overclocking, step up to a larger dual-tower or liquid cooler instead.

Will it block my RAM slots?

The heatsink uses an asymmetrical construction specifically to avoid blocking memory slots. Tall heat-spreader RAM in the first slot is still worth measuring against your board layout before you build.

What warranty comes with it?

be quiet! backs the Pure Rock 2 with a 3-year manufacturer's warranty. Check the product listing for current registration requirements and regional terms.
