Be Quiet! Dark Rock TF2

If you’re after a sleek cooling solution without any of the seizure-inducing razzle-dazzle of ARGB lighting, then hands down the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 is the best choice you could make right now. Admittedly, it comes at a price point that perhaps tips this out of the balance of more cost-minded consumers. If you value excellent levels of CPU temperature control with barely audible noise output, however, then the be quiet! Dark Rock TF2 is, without a doubt, one of the best coolers money can buy right now.

The be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 exhibits excellent cooling ability and near-silent operation, though it faces stiff competition from its own be quiet! brethren. But as either a performance option where the clearance is the primary limiting factor, or for those who favor downdraft coolers, it’s a solid choice.

On its own, it is the most significantly changed refresh of a cooler we have seen; maybe ever! On top of that, there is better than average performance with as little noise as possible, all while cooling the RAM and VRM. How can one not like what be quiet! has done here?

With the Dark Rock TF2 be quiet! has done some nice upgrades over the original which not only help with performance and sound levels, but also installation. Right now the Dark Rock TF 2 is selling at our favorite online retailer for $89.50, which puts it on the more expensive side, but I feel you aren’t going to find many coolers that offer this type of performance and are this quiet.
