Excellent!

Ventirad installed on a Ryzen 5 2600 overclocked to 4Ghz. The temperatures are very satisfactory 40C° at rest and from 55 to 65C° in games with the overclocked processor I specify! Without overclocked at rest I am at 30-35C° and in games from 40 to 55C°! The assembly is very simple and the instructions very understandable! The ventirad is sober and leaves place to the rams which are high, the quality of manufacture always excellent (quality bequiet! always with the appointment!) The fan is quiet even at full speed and is very discreet. The fan is quiet even at full power and is very quiet. Check the maximum size of the ventirad that can accommodate your case because it is quite large! Excellent Ventirad I will always be satisfied with bequiet products!

Not compatible with lga1700

I have been a customer for many years and I have always been satisfied but now you have not been good. I bought an upgrade kit and you recommended this ventirad but it is not compatible with the motherboard so I am going to waste my day trying to find a ventirad.

Cooling

After 2 months of use, it's working perfectly, easy to install even if it takes up a lot of space - you'll need a large case.
Compared with the original ventirad, I've gained 30°C in processor temperature (by changing the fan kit and adding 3 extra fans).

An exceptional cooler at a modest price!

The be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black is a real nugget for anyone looking for a high-performance cooler without breaking the bank. For me, who's not a fan of overclocking, this model proved to be the ideal solution. It offers efficient cooling while remaining very quiet, as its name so aptly suggests. Installation is quick and easy, and the matt black design blends in perfectly with any type of configuration.

The build quality is top-notch and the value for money is really excellent. I'm impressed by its ability to maintain low temperatures while being discreet. It's an excellent choice for users who want a reliable cooling solution without breaking the bank. Highly recommended!

I recommend

an entry-level fan that I'd recommend: it does the job and isn't noisy when in use. I've used it with an xeon 2680v4 and I'm very happy with it.

it equips all the computers in the house

I equip all my home computers with it. The oldest is 4 years old and it's as good as new. I have the impression that this is one of the products offered by LDLC that has always been in their catalogues for 4 years. To say that it's a safe bet, no need to update.

I relied on the comments already on the site, this ventirad is excellent, easy assembly, the documentation provided is complete, very good finish, it imposes! especially in my small case! I gained 20 degrees on all my config with my small I3 which heated a lot with the basic ventirad, assembly on socket 1700, the supports are included! Really EXCELLENT!

A breath of fresh air into the PC's neurons, keeping its cpu at peak performance.

Simple to assemble, simple to plug in, a choice of one or two fans, and beautiful to look at. After extensive testing, the cpu is always at reasonable temperatures.

be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black =)

be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black is very quiet compared to the original INTEL fan.
Installed on socket 1155 processor i5 2500K without any problem by watching a video on the internet because the instructions are not detailed enough.
Had to dismantle the motherboard to install it, no choice but to fit the screws underneath.
Be careful with the small case otherwise you won't be able to close it ^^.
Thermal paste already applied, now I just have to install it.

Very good ventirad

I already had another Be Quiet! ventirad, the Shadow Rock LP, but it turned out to be too little to cool my Ryzen 5 3600 properly (idle temperatures were close to 60° and in-game temperatures were well over 80°). With the Pure Rock 2, temperatures returned to normal (idle temperatures between 35° and 40°, and 65° max in-game).

Because quite simply before I had a Walter cooling and I much prefer this model there for a AMD 3900 and believe me it does not heat at all that it is on Blender3D with incredible renderings for Photoshop or for first obviously playing online too it is really the top do not hesitate it is a very very very good product and LDLC Saint-Priest are really nice always with useful advice and reasonable prices.

Silencer

Product bought for the brand, which doesn't steal its name at all.
Replacing an original ventirad, I can now only hear the graphics card fans. A real plus for the comfort of use without headphones to attenuate the noise.
And for the price, it's very effective.

Good product overall

Good fan, super efficient and quiet.
The only negative point is the way the fan is attached to the fins: simple metal rods that don't hold the fan firmly enough for my taste. I have a similar CoolerMaster fan with a much better attachment.

The ventirad is inaudible. It's a change from the original ventirads.

Very good

This is the second model I've bought for another Ryzen 7 5700x-based configuration.
It's royally silent, with top-flight cooling (1 hour extreme OCCT -> 50° max).
The price is contained considering the level of performance, in fact it's much better than an AIO 240 or more.
What's more, the matt black colour is a real eye-catcher.
So why hesitate?

The world of silence

I'm switching from an AMD radiator on my 3700X to a pure rock 2 on a 5700X, and it's so quiet, especially as I live in the West Indies, where the temperature is more than adequate.

What a beautiful fan

Very pretty even if you won't see it in the case! Intended for mini itx mounting in a corsair 2000d case with asus B760i motherboard and i5 13600. Normally it passes. The thermal paste is already applied but for the price, there could have been an extra tube.

Get the job done ...

The set-up is actually quite logical if you have a bit of experience in the field.
With an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (3.8 GHz / 4.7 GHz), at full load oscillates between 77 and 83°, which is within tolerance. It cools down very quickly once the load has been dropped. So for the price it's perfect!

As usual, the order was received on time and without any problems ...

Very good, but complicated to set up

My old motherboard still had a stock Intel fan that made a lot of noise for very little, so I thought it was time to replace it.
As its name suggests, the Be Quiet! is very quiet, a joy for my ears! The size of the device may come as a surprise, I was expecting something smaller but in the end it fitted without a hitch.
However, setting it up was a bit complicated because of the unintuitive clips and the manual, which left a lot to be desired (lots of text, not enough reference images to know if you're not doing something wrong). I had to turn to Reddit for help. Once it's in place, though, everything's perfect!

Extremely quiet and doesn't heat up

I bought this ventirad to cool my Ryzen 7 5700G and didn't notice any noise. I pushed my CPU a bit to get it to heat up a bit and I was pleasantly surprised to see that my processor did not get above 50°C and all this without any noise. I'm extremely satisfied with the product, I was a bit worried that it would be too noisy.

my opinion

It is quite technical to mount if the pc is already mounted, the fan must be put last because one of the screws of the ventirad is right under the fan, but apart from this problem of mounting the ventirad is very good for low and medium range processors, I would not advise to mount the ventirad on Ryzen 9 and I9 because I am not sure that it will do the job

Robust but poor quality fastening

I may be very bad at assembling, but the little rods to fix the fan on the radiator are inefficient! It's not solid, it doesn't hold well! For this reason, I do not recommend it. However, there is thermal paste, everything is solid, and of good quality, except this fastening system!
Once again, this is only my experience and my feeling.

Hello, I only give it 9/10 because it is very bulky, does not fit in all cases. It's a pity because it's very quiet and cools a Rizen 9 very efficiently, I have to replace my big case if I want to use it.

Excellent!

Put on a ryzen 5 2600 to replace the original "wraith stealth" ventirad. The HD video encoding does not exceed 60 degrees, even after several hours. All this in a cathedral silence. Impressive!

Do not interfere with the ram, remember to check the depth of the case as it is quite high. Requires removal of the motherboard and use of the backplate, but worth it.

Very good product, great performance at a reasonable cost.

Fast delivery within 48 hours and well packaged.

Small/ efficient/ and cheap! I prefer Bi Quiet! (That was for the joke)
Mounted on my Ryzen 5 5600G, I have only one thing to say. It blows, it blows and silently and it's still nice. The average temperature on the desktop is 36° and it goes up to 40/42° in game.
For such a low price, I can only recommend it.
It's a great piece of equipment, but it's also a great piece of equipment to have around the house.

Efficiency, Silence and Promise

- In office use: this one is very quiet and runs at minimum (if it could stop it would). Runs between 320 and 350 RPM, total silence.
- In Gaming use: Still very quiet and runs between 1100 and 1300 RPM, still quiet but starting to huff and puff anyway.
- After gaming, the CPU temperature drops very quickly and remains very constant around 40°- 43°C.
- Thermal paste applied directly to the radiator.
- Fan a bit complicated to attach, especially to avoid bending the radiator fins.
