Graphics Card: Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super 0dB Mode.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT at Stock PB2.

It will be interesting to see how the dynamics of the processor’s Precision Boost 2 algorithm adjust when switching from the 3500RPM-rated Ryzen 5 3600X Wraith Spire cooler to the 92mm, single-tower be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2. Testing is done on a six-core Ryzen 5 3600XT processor, as this is closely related to one of the fan-favourite chips – the Ryzen 5 3600/3600X – neither of which we had at hand for testing, unfortunately. We are testing the be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 2 CPU cooler up against AMD’s Wraith Spire CPU cooler that is supplied with some of the CPU maker’s decent mainstream processors.

And the instruction manual is very clear with its guidance. Of course, there are also Intel brackets included if you are using a mainstream Intel platform based around the LGA115X mounting holes. The thermal paste is pre-applied, so it is simply a case of positioning the cooler atop an AMD CPU, locking the mounting latches, and then clipping on the fan and connecting it to a 4-pin PWM motherboard header.

Novice users – or those who simply want a quick cooler switch or install – will value the latch mounting mechanism that does not require removal of the stock AMD cooler brackets on an AM4 motherboard.Īnd in terms of installation, this is about as easy as it gets. This is obvious given that the unit comes with the AMD latch mounting mechanism pre-applied. Rated for up to 130W of cooling capacity (whatever that means, given such differing interpretations of the term TDP in the processor market), be quiet! focusses the Pure Rock Slim 2 for cooling AMD chips.

And it also means that installation in cases with confined CPU socket areas in terms of height – such as the Mini-ITX Cooler Master NR200p – should be a doddle.

That makes RAM interference a very unlikely concern. In terms of overall cooler dimensions, the length is 82mm, width is 97mm, and height is 135mm. Power and speed control are deployed via the 220mm-long 4-pin PWM cable which is also black in appearance – a good quality touch. This rifle-bearing fan uses a 4-pole motor and is rated for up to 2000 RPM. Fan-wise, be quiet! deploys a 92mm Pure Wing 2 PWM unit.
