Excellent!

Ventirad installed on a Ryzen 5 2600 overclocked to 4Ghz. The temperatures are very satisfactory 40C° at rest and from 55 to 65C° in games with the overclocked processor I specify! Without overclocked at rest I am at 30-35C° and in games from 40 to 55C°! The assembly is very simple and the instructions very understandable! The ventirad is sober and leaves place to the rams which are high, the quality of manufacture always excellent (quality bequiet! always with the appointment!) The fan is quiet even at full speed and is very discreet. The fan is quiet even at full power and is very quiet. Check the maximum size of the ventirad that can accommodate your case because it is quite large! Excellent Ventirad I will always be satisfied with bequiet products!

Not compatible with lga1700

I have been a customer for many years and I have always been satisfied but now you have not been good. I bought an upgrade kit and you recommended this ventirad but it is not compatible with the motherboard so I am going to waste my day trying to find a ventirad.

        Satisfied with this product

        I am very satisfied with this ventirad, it works well, is fairly quiet and comes with the thermal paste pre-applied. I got it at a very low price thanks to a credit note.

        be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black =)

        be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black is very quiet compared to the original INTEL fan.
        Installed on socket 1155 processor i5 2500K without any problem by watching a video on the internet because the instructions are not detailed enough.
        Had to dismantle the motherboard to install it, no choice but to fit the screws underneath.
        Be careful with the small case otherwise you won't be able to close it ^^.
        Thermal paste already applied, now I just have to install it.

        Very good ventirad

        I already had another Be Quiet! ventirad, the Shadow Rock LP, but it turned out to be too little to cool my Ryzen 5 3600 properly (idle temperatures were close to 60° and in-game temperatures were well over 80°). With the Pure Rock 2, temperatures returned to normal (idle temperatures between 35° and 40°, and 65° max in-game).

        Excellent

        Because quite simply before I had a Walter cooling and I much prefer this model there for a AMD 3900 and believe me it does not heat at all that it is on Blender3D with incredible renderings for Photoshop or for first obviously playing online too it is really the top do not hesitate it is a very very very good product and LDLC Saint-Priest are really nice always with useful advice and reasonable prices.

        Silencer

        Product bought for the brand, which doesn't steal its name at all.
        Replacing an original ventirad, I can now only hear the graphics card fans. A real plus for the comfort of use without headphones to attenuate the noise.
        And for the price, it's very effective.

        A must-have

        This ventirad is pretty, sober and quiet, and I went from 80° in game on a Ryzen 5600 with a Wraith Stealth to an average of between 50 and 60°, and the ventirad is easy to install.

        Good product overall

        Good fan, super efficient and quiet.
        The only negative point is the way the fan is attached to the fins: simple metal rods that don't hold the fan firmly enough for my taste. I have a similar CoolerMaster fan with a much better attachment.

        Opinion

        Silent fan, cools my CPU (ryzen 5 500) well. Correct price and easy installation, I removed the thermal paste already applied to it for a mx-4.

        Efficient and quiet

        I took this cooler for an i5 11600k (secondary PC) and it does the job very well. The box contains everything you need for current intel and amd sockets. Temperatures are good with the basic paste and this in silence. Satisfied with my purchase.

        Quiet and efficient

        Mounted on an I512400 f, the temperatures are 23 24 degrees at rest and max 60 degrees under full load.
        The ventirad is inaudible. It's a change from the original ventirads.

        Very good

        This is the second model I've bought for another Ryzen 7 5700x-based configuration.
        It's royally silent, with top-flight cooling (1 hour extreme OCCT -> 50° max).
        The price is contained considering the level of performance, in fact it's much better than an AIO 240 or more.
        What's more, the matt black colour is a real eye-catcher.
        So why hesitate?

        The world of silence

        I'm switching from an AMD radiator on my 3700X to a pure rock 2 on a 5700X, and it's so quiet, especially as I live in the West Indies, where the temperature is more than adequate.

        Quiet and efficient

        Mounted on a 12600K, I'm at less than 25° idle, less than 60° under load. What's more, it's quiet and I'm really pleased with it.

        What a beautiful fan

        Very pretty even if you won't see it in the case! Intended for mini itx mounting in a corsair 2000d case with asus B760i motherboard and i5 13600. Normally it passes. The thermal paste is already applied but for the price, there could have been an extra tube.

        Super kit

        The bios was already updated and the installation went without a hitch. Just one small point of attention: don't forget the cooling unit not supplied with the cpu.

        I use the be quiet! pure rock 2 black on my i5-11400F and it never goes above 60 degrees when gaming or using it intensively, it's quiet and the design is perfect, in my opinion.

        I first used the Bequiet ventirad because I'm used to the Intel ventirad.

        Get the job done ...

        The set-up is actually quite logical if you have a bit of experience in the field.
        With an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (3.8 GHz / 4.7 GHz), at full load oscillates between 77 and 83°, which is within tolerance. It cools down very quickly once the load has been dropped. So for the price it's perfect!

        As usual, the order was received on time and without any problems ...

        Very good, but complicated to set up

        My old motherboard still had a stock Intel fan that made a lot of noise for very little, so I thought it was time to replace it.
        As its name suggests, the Be Quiet! is very quiet, a joy for my ears! The size of the device may come as a surprise, I was expecting something smaller but in the end it fitted without a hitch.
        However, setting it up was a bit complicated because of the unintuitive clips and the manual, which left a lot to be desired (lots of text, not enough reference images to know if you're not doing something wrong). I had to turn to Reddit for help. Once it's in place, though, everything's perfect!

        Extremely quiet and doesn't heat up

        I bought this ventirad to cool my Ryzen 7 5700G and didn't notice any noise. I pushed my CPU a bit to get it to heat up a bit and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my processor did not get above 50°C and all this without any noise. I'm extremely satisfied with the product, I was a bit worried that it would be too noisy.

        My Ryzen 5600 stays at 63°C despite a long stress test, and it's still very quiet. Nothing to do with the original ventirad.

        Be Quiet!
        No matter what the range, it's still a reliable brand, it's crazy.
        I didn't put it on the other products, but
        LDLC, also a guarantee of reliability ;)

        my opinion

        It is quite technical to mount if the pc is already mounted, the fan must be put last because one of the screws of the ventirad is right under the fan, but apart from this problem of mounting the ventirad is very good for low and medium range processors, I would not advise to mount the ventirad on Ryzen 9 and I9 because I am not sure that it will do the job

        Robust but poor quality fastening

        I may be very bad at assembling, but the little rods to fix the fan on the radiator are inefficient! It's not solid, it doesn't hold well! For this reason, I do not recommend it. However, there is thermal paste, everything is solid, and of good quality, except this fastening system!
        Once again, this is only my experience and my feeling.

        Always on top

        A must-have, easy to assemble and efficient.
        The only drawback is that you have to ask the manufacturer for the lga1700 compatible kit, but the reception is fast and the kit is perfectly compatible.

        Very good product. But it's...

        I am satisfied with this ventirad, the quality is there, but I don't understand, I installed it as indicated on my I5 12600k and in game I go up to crazy temperatures of 95 degrees. I don't understand why.

        Absolute Banger

        I'm switching from the basic amd ventirad to this one (the temperature was insane 55-60° in idle and 80-95° in game) now I'm at 33-40° in idle and ingame 60-70° total happiness!

        Top Ventirad but high hypr

        Hello, I only give it 9/10 because it is very bulky, does not fit in all cases. It's a pity because it's very quiet and cools a Rizen 9 very efficiently, I have to replace my big case if I want to use it.

        Excellent!

        Put on a ryzen 5 2600 to replace the original "wraith stealth" ventirad. The HD video encoding does not exceed 60 degrees, even after several hours. All this in a cathedral silence. Impressive!

        Do not interfere with the ram, remember to check the depth of the case as it is quite high. Requires removal of the motherboard and use of the backplate, but worth it.

        Very good product, great performance at a reasonable cost.

        Fast delivery within 48 hours and well packaged.

        It's blowing!

        Small/ efficient/ and cheap! I prefer Bi Quiet! (That was for the joke)
        Mounted on my Ryzen 5 5600G, I have only one thing to say. It blows, it blows and silently and it's still nice. The average temperature on the desktop is 36° and it goes up to 40/42° in game.
        For such a low price, I can only recommend it.
        It's a great piece of equipment, but it's also a great piece of equipment to have around the house.

        Efficiency, Silence and Promise

        - In office use: this one is very quiet and runs at minimum (if it could stop it would). Runs between 320 and 350 RPM, total silence.
        - In Gaming use: Still very quiet and runs between 1100 and 1300 RPM, still quiet but starting to huff and puff anyway.
        - After gaming, the CPU temperature drops very quickly and remains very constant around 40°- 43°C.
        - Thermal paste applied directly to the radiator.
        - Fan a bit complicated to attach, especially to avoid bending the radiator fins.

        This fan is well named (be quiet). Even with my processor at full throttle the fan is still quiet.

        Not compatible with lga1700

        I have been a customer for many years and I have always been satisfied but now you have not been good. I bought an upgrade kit and you recommended this ventirad but it is not compatible with the motherboard so I am going to waste my day trying to find a ventirad.

        The top Remballer vos water...

        So I'm not going to hide it from you but this ventirad is just a 1000 power atomic killer.

        I'm not sure how you can buy a water cooling system at least 100€ that will be a pain to install in a mid-tower case when for 45€ you can do something simple and much more efficient and silent.

        I've had my third PC in two years, all with PURE ROCK, it doesn't flinch, it doesn't heat up, it's quiet and easy to maintain, and above all it doesn't take up 1/3 of the space in the case, unlike those bulky radiators.

        In short, the top of the top mounted on i9 - i7 - i5, 36 degrees full load on the three PCs, what more could you ask for when on some water we exceed 45 degrees? ....

        As usual

        I've been a subscriber to this brand for years and I'm not about to change. If only the fans on the graphics cards could be so quiet. Come on, MSI & Co., let's make a little effort mmmhhh?

        Efficient but not so quiet

        I can only be satisfied with BeQuiet.

        A big plus on its efficiency, that's undeniable. Unfortunately I had to replace it because I underestimated the heat output of my AMD R9 5900X.

        It's not as quiet as the brand might imply though. This was one of the reasons for changing it, in addition to its low heat dissipation from the big Ryzen 9.

        I think it's more suited to smaller processors.

        Great

        I bought this fan because it is quiet and efficient and it does it very well! For such a low price you can't ask for more.

        Great!

        This fan has it all: - Easy to install - A video on YT for the assembly - The heat meter is already on the radiator. I'm a computer novice so it's really a must-have for anyone. I'm a computer novice so it's really a good idea to put it in all hands. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time. I'm very happy.

        It is big and does its job. And as usual, what a silence

        It is high, 155 mm ! If not, all black, it's classy.Easy to assemble, but the documentation is very succinct.You need a bit of experience, or don't hesitate to ask for support, to avoid making a mistake in the order of assembly between : - You must have some experience, or not hesitate to ask for help, to not make a mistake in the order of assembly between: - the support of the radiator on the motherboard - the assembly of the motherboard in the case - the wiring of the motherboard power supplies - the assembly of the processor - the assembly of the RAM memories - finally the assembly of the radiator There remains a detail no less important, in which direction to assemble the radiator so that it blows in the right direction!This is done last, when everything is mounted, graphics, HD, etc. You must put the microphone on the side, stand in front of the fan, switch on the PC and stop it immediately. It's a great product, and I'm sure that you'll find it very easy to use. I highly recommend it.
