        Excellent

        Inexpensive and perfect for replacing a stock Intel fan, I can only recommend it given its price.

        Be quiet

        This is the first time I've ordered from be quiet, and it's quiet indeed! The cooling is great for my configuration, nothing to complain about.

        Super quiet and efficient

        I'm delighted with this ventirad. Used with a Ryzen 5 4600, for everyday tasks I don't exceed 40°, for zooms or video copression more, but very reasonable.

        Does the job well

        Super product, the temperature in my case has dropped by 5 to 8 degrees compared to the original fan depending on the load of the CPU for an office PC and it's perfect I give a score of 5 / 5.

        ok

        Received 1 month after ordering from LDLC. Complicated logistics.
        Little feedback (one week), currently working.
        Rather discreet but not yet pushed into the towers.

        Incredible!

        Fast delivery and product in new condition (so no damage during delivery). I use it for my gaming PC.
        I recommend it (it doesn't make a sound).

        very good product

        It's a very good product but be careful; it's not compatible with the intel 1700 socket. You need to order an adapter from be quiet. I don't know if Ldlc sells this adapter.

        Super efficient and quiet

        Purchased to replace the original ventirad supplied with the Intel i3 10105, mainly because of the latter's noise. No contest! I've gained 15 degrees, the CPU never goes above 58 degrees at full load, even in extended tests, whereas it used to rise almost instantly to 70/75 degrees, all with the fan only running at 50% of its maximum speed. Even during prolonged load tests, the fan never reaches its maximum speed and is generally inaudible.
        Easy to install if you follow the well-illustrated instructions to the letter. For an entry-level desktop or gaming PC, there's nothing to say about this top-quality, top-price product.

        Be quiet! efficient.

        Efficient and sufficient ventirad.
        Used 1st version "Pure Rock Slim" socket 1155, 1150, Am3.
        I have a new fleet of machines, socket 1200, Am4, with a TDP 130, accompanied by I7 11700KF and Ryzen7 5800X.
        The only fan I've found for under €30.00.

        fitted on an I5-12400F

        I'd misread it, I thought the ventirad was a 120mm but it's only 92mm! apart from that, it still cools an i5-12400F quite well.

        Top to install

        I used it for several months on a 5800X: the in-game temperatures were pretty decent, but when in doubt I preferred to replace it with a Dark Pro 4. Hence the following points:
        - this Pure Rock Slim 2 can be installed and removed using the original AMD brackets: it couldn't be easier!
        - the efficiency is pretty good, considering the TDP of a 5800X; I didn't gain much with the Pro 4.
        - you don't hear much from the fan, and even then I was probably at my limit with the 5800X.

        I think it's perfect on AMD up to the TDP equivalent of a 5600X or 5700X, beyond that it's still OK but there's a bit of CPU throtling.

        Couldn't ride it

        I have not yet installed it, the socket on the motherboard I received had a fault. Motherboard changed by Materiel.net quickly. Unfortunately since 12 May the package is still on the site awaiting shipment.

        I have never been disappointed by this brand, which offers an easy to assemble cooling unit,
        with correct performances for a very reasonable price...

        As described, but not as described in the ...

        Quality product, cools very well and is quiet.
        A manual would have been appreciated as I didn't know the clip system,
        Google is your friend but well ... so one star less

        Does its job

        Difficult to install (because of intel standards for mounting on the motherboard), with a mistake in the instructions: there is no plastic protection on the thermal paste. So you get it on your finger before you realise the mistake. The hooks to fix the fan: a horror!
        Once installed, it's fine! But you can still hear the fan too much for my taste. It's still not quiet enough.

        very good

        I recommend this fan, it doesn't make any noise and the pc never heats up, except on very ultra greedy games, otherwise you can go ahead, it's not a waste of money

        Little problem with the compa

        The LDLC comparator suggested I buy this fan for my Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 motherboard, but they are not compatible:

        My motherboard is LGA 1700 format, and on the be quiet! website I find this:
        "We recommend that you do not mount your be quiet! cooler on an LGA-1700 motherboard with an LGA-1200 mounting kit, even if the motherboard offers this option, as this may damage your hardware."
        link to website: https://www.bequiet.com/fr/motherboardcheck

        Fortunately my motherboard doesn't seem to be damaged, but I wish I had been told about a compatible fan, or at least warned :(

        The difference

        Today I changed the base ventirad of my ryzen 5 3600, in stress test before my proc went up to 95° now I'm in the neighborhood of 80°, in Idle I'm at 40 against 50-60 before

        Effective

        A pain to insert it on the motherboard, you have to force a lot to lock the 3rd side, I was a bit afraid to break the processor.

        Very good

        Replaces the original AMD fan. Day and night, cools very well (from 70 to 50) in a small space and while being quiet. Slightly audible at maximum rotation but frankly it is to quibble :)
        a very good product.

        very good ventirad

        Quality and very quiet fan.
        Mounted in a mini-tower and on a ryzen 5 5600x, even in full game the fan is discreet.

        I recommend it

        Perfect

        Very good power supply:
        - It has a very good power supply.
        - The power supply is very good, the cables are long enough, the touch is good, the paintwork is good and the power supply is stable.
        - It is also very quiet,

        I highly recommend this power supply for anyone who doesn't need a graphics card higher than the GTX 1650.

        Mounted on an AMD RYZEN 7 5700G, this fan is perfectly inaudible. Note that it is the smallest of the BE QUIET! range.

        be quiet! microprocessor fan Pure Rock Slim 2

        Satisfied with the be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2; sufficiently quiet and correctly cools the 10-core Intel Core i5-10400F (2.9 GHz / 4.3 GHz) and competitively priced.

        Very satisfied

        I opted for these products (motherboard, processor and memory sticks) on the advice of your sales representative, the objective being for me to upgrade my PC to be able to install Windows 11. Everything went well, my PC is more powerful and is now running Windows 11.

        Does the job silently

        I was not used to such large processor fans as my previous configuration was based on an Intel Core 2 duo processor installed in 2009. The fan I bought separately was very small compared to the Pure Rock Slim 2.
        The installation instructions are clear. You have to be careful when you pick it up because the base is already coated with thermal paste. A wrong move and you get it on your fingers. I did not immediately understand how to attach the fan to the side of the radiator. The diagram is not very clear. But in the end it's easy once you understand the trick.
        Once in place, I had no problem positioning the memory bars (the slim side) next to the processor.
        I don't think I can hear the noise, but my use is more internet and office based, I'm not a gamer so the processor isn't used much (Intel I5-2.6Gz).

        Fragile mounting system and delicate installation for Intel processors

        To fix this fan properly, I think it should be done when the PC is assembled, before the motherboard is in the case, because the fixing to the processor is done without the fan. There is little room to handle this fan and the springs do not stay in place without using tape. By attaching this fan you are likely to move the heatsink, which is what happened to me. Conclusion: back to the original fan, useless expense, I could see that other brands offer better designed, more solid and easier to install fixings: solid fixing of a base around the processor and then installation of the radiator + fan assembly by screwing on this base. I still gave it 2 stars because I think the AMD mounting system is better designed and should not be a problem.

        Perfect for a Ryzen 5 3600

        Mounted on a Ryzen 5 3600 I have gained 10°C over the original Wraith Stealth.
        For my use (multimedia, image processing, DTP - no games) the temperature fluctuates between 30 and 40°C with peaks around 50°C.
        A 5 minute stress-ng test on all 12 threads raises the max temperature to 64°C
        Quiet in normal use.

        Perfect

        Largely sufficient for an AMD 3200g in office use. Very little audible except when it goes up in the towers! But still acceptable.
