Be quiet! Pure Rock 2 is a compact, high‑value air cooler designed for mainstream and budget builds. It features a robust 150 W TDP cooling efficiency, four 6 mm heat pipes with HDT technology, and asymmetrical geometry to avoid RAM interference. A Pure Wings 2 120 mm PWM fan delivers quiet operation, while an installation system designed for simple, tool-free mounting keeps compatibility broad across Intel and AMD sockets (including AM4/AM5).
