Who each one is for

Buy the be quiet! Pure Rock 2 for budget locked Ryzen 5 / Core i5 builds and noise-sensitive entry-level PCs, though it is not the pick for unlocked or high-TDP CPUs and enthusiasts wanting RGB. Take the Cooler Master MasterAir MA624 Stealth for buyers who want maximum air cooling headroom from a push-pull fan configuration. This is a more aggressive airflow setup than most competing dual-tower coolers offer. It is equally the pick for anyone needing flexibility between maximum cooling and RAM clearance. The included extra 120mm fan option is a genuinely useful accommodation. It is the wrong buy for the newest AM5 or LGA1851-only builds without confirming compatibility first. This cooler's listed socket support skews toward older and workstation platforms; verify current-socket support directly before buying for a brand-new build. Our rating of the be quiet! Pure Rock 2 (7.4/10): A sensible quiet budget cooler for locked mainstream CPUs, not for chasing overclocks.
