Abstract: Introduction Here at TBG, we have a thing for coolers. In fact, at this point, we've tested more coolers than any other PC component, with nearly 40 under our belt. That means we have a very good sense of what the best models are, and what makes for a gre...

Cool, Quiet, Cheap, Compatible with all modern CPU sockets
Height, Requires the use of low profile RAM
Although be quiet!'s Shadow Rock LP is the best performing cooler in our round-up and the second best in value, its relatively tall height will prevent it from fitting in some of the smaller Mini ITX and HPTC cases. However, we still highly recommend it...
Good Build Quality, Size (75.4mm height), Very Good Performance, Low Noise Levels, Socket Compatibility, EU Pricing (For Some), ,
USA Pricing (For Some), Not As Compact As Its Immediate Competition,
When designing a CPU cooler manufacturers always have two routes to take, either use a large heatsink or a small heatsink. Large heatsinks are usually paired with both mid/high-speed (mid/high-noise) fans since thanks to their total surface they...

As with previous Be Quiet! coolers, the Shadow Rock LP has a unique and modern design emblematic of German build quality. The simple addition of a custom aluminum cap at the heatpipe tips gives the Shadow Rock LP character, separating it from conventional...

Abstract: While it's obvious that the height of a low profile heatsink must no taller than the space available inside compact PC case, most people tend to overlook the point that the heatsink fan also demands a bit of clearance to work properly. If there's only 3mm...

Low 75.4mm Profile Fits Almost Any Build, Excellent Performance Upgrade From Stock Cooler, Much Lower Noise Than Stock Cooler, Four 6mm Copper Heatpipes, Excellent In Case Appearance, Relatively Easy and Secure Installation, Good Quality Pure Wings 120mm
Pedestrian Performance In Its Class, Solder and Construction Not to the High Standards We Expect From be quiet!, Louder Under Load Than Some Competitors
The mainstream priced low profile cooler has become an item in large demand, and it makes perfect sense that be quiet! would join the ranks, given their position in the top tier of air cooling. We have seen be quiet! strike an excellent balance of perfo...

When I first started this review I thought this would be my first low-profile heat sink cooler until I realized that typical stock coolers are also low-profile style. Of course the difference is that stock coolers normally will not meet the needs of gamer...
True Low Profile Design, Silentwings Cooling Fan, Four Heatpipe Design, Thick Fin Radiator, Brushed Heatsink Cover, 130w Power Handling
Had trouble getting fan clips installed
