The strongest cooler in be quiet!'s Shadow Rock series, and a genuinely quiet single-tower option for buyers who put acoustics ahead of maximum thermal headroom.

7 / 10 Expert Rating
A budget ARGB cooler that competes reasonably in its price bracket and offers unusually broad socket support, without standing out against established budget-cooler competitors on raw thermals.
