        Simple and effective, what more could you ask for!

        In order to refit an 'old' 4th generation Intel, I had to install a more efficient fan than the one that came with the processor when it was first installed.
        The Be Quiet does the job perfectly, quietly and, above all, very efficiently. The maximum temperature of the processor dropped from 93°C to 45°C thanks to the new fan.

        Good quality

        Installed on an i5 12400f, it cools well and silently, even during my VR sessions. In stress test 64degrees, in games 45degrees and in idle 27degrees.
        Very simple installation

        Good cooling.

        Very good ventirad, rather pretty, allu' (I suppose) and copper I like. Cools my 5600x very well, I don't go over 45°c in game. I'm very happy to have chosen this one, a bigger one would have been useless.
        Thanks LDLC.

        Be Quiet! What more can you say?

        With a TDP of 130W and Be Quiet quality for 30 euros, I don't think there's much more to say.

        amd support not supplied

        the amd support was not supplied with the ventirad...
        Apart from that, the ventirad works like a charm and is not noisy at all.

        If I had known, I would have ordered one a long time ago.

        Beautiful item, with a good finish.

        Quite easy to fit. I didn't have to remove my motherboard from my case. Just the old fan and the GPU.
        The best thing would be to remove the motherboard, but this isn't compulsory on a medium/large tower case.
        Be patient and meticulous though, and remember to clean the surface of the processor thoroughly.

        There's everything you need for socket AMD and Intel in the packaging, the thermal paste is pre-applied, and once it's installed, you're better off than with a AMD fan (which aren't as bad as all that).

        The instructions are fairly well written, but not in French (there are images), and perhaps deserve to be a little more detailed.

        Better than my ventirad sold with my amd cpu, my pc no longer heats up impeccably. It's a be quiet and it really is be quiet.

        Perfect for a 13500; 30 degrees less.

        Installed in place of the Intel Laminar RM1 stock cooling unit, a gain of 30 degrees is observed under heavy load and gaming conditions. Ultra-quiet, my 13500 barely exceeds 65 degrees on OCCT.
        I'd recommend it.

        Quiet, efficient fan

        Quiet, easy-to-install fan.
        The temperature of the CPU (Ryzen 5) is under 40 degrees celcius at rest, and peaks at 75 degrees after several minutes of intensive computing (command ``stress -c 12` under Linux).
        On a minor note, the ventirad installation documentation mentions a protective film covering the thermal paste pre-deposited under the radiator, which was not present. So you have to be careful not to touch the paste when you take the radiator out of its packaging. This meant I had to buy another tube of thermal paste to install the ventirad. Big ups to the LDLC staff, who were understanding and gave me a small credit note.

        Product OK

        This ventirad is more than sufficient to cool the processor that goes with it (r5 8600G with a TDP of 65W). I can't hear it, but for the moment I haven't really tested it when I run the processor at maximum.

        Very good fan at a reasonable price

        Installed on an i5 13400F, no problem.
        I had read that installation was more complex on an Intel CPU but it's still very simple, there are just a few extra steps.
        The fan is quiet, beautiful, sober and cools my processor very well.
        All this for a very reasonable price.

        I'm delighted with this ventirad. Used with a Ryzen 5 4600, for everyday tasks I don't exceed 40°, for zooms or video copression more, but very reasonable.

        Does the job well

        Super product, the temperature in my case has dropped by 5 to 8 degrees compared to the original fan depending on the load of the CPU for an office PC and it's perfect I give a score of 5 / 5.

        ok

        Received 1 month after ordering from LDLC. Complicated logistics.
        Little feedback (one week), currently working.
        Rather discreet but not yet pushed into the towers.

        very good product

        It's a very good product but be careful; it's not compatible with the intel 1700 socket. You need to order an adapter from be quiet. I don't know if Ldlc sells this adapter.

        Super efficient and quiet

        Purchased to replace the original ventirad supplied with the Intel i3 10105, mainly because of the latter's noise. No contest! I've gained 15 degrees, the CPU never goes above 58 degrees at full load, even in extended tests, whereas it used to rise almost instantly to 70/75 degrees, all with the fan only running at 50% of its maximum speed. Even during prolonged load tests, the fan never reaches its maximum speed and is generally inaudible.
        Easy to install if you follow the well-illustrated instructions to the letter. For an entry-level desktop or gaming PC, there's nothing to say about this top-quality, top-price product.

        Efficient and sufficient ventirad.
        Used 1st version "Pure Rock Slim" socket 1155, 1150, Am3.
        I have a new fleet of machines, socket 1200, Am4, with a TDP 130, accompanied by I7 11700KF and Ryzen7 5800X.
        The only fan I've found for under €30.00.

        fitted on an I5-12400F

        I'd misread it, I thought the ventirad was a 120mm but it's only 92mm! apart from that, it still cools an i5-12400F quite well.

        Top to install

        I used it for several months on a 5800X: the in-game temperatures were pretty decent, but when in doubt I preferred to replace it with a Dark Pro 4. Hence the following points:
        - this Pure Rock Slim 2 can be installed and removed using the original AMD brackets: it couldn't be easier!
        - the efficiency is pretty good, considering the TDP of a 5800X; I didn't gain much with the Pro 4.
        - you don't hear much from the fan, and even then I was probably at my limit with the 5800X.

        I think it's perfect on AMD up to the TDP equivalent of a 5600X or 5700X, beyond that it's still OK but there's a bit of CPU throtling.

        I have not yet installed it, the socket on the motherboard I received had a fault. Motherboard changed by Materiel.net quickly. Unfortunately since 12 May the package is still on the site awaiting shipment.

        Does its job

        Difficult to install (because of intel standards for mounting on the motherboard), with a mistake in the instructions: there is no plastic protection on the thermal paste. So you get it on your finger before you realise the mistake. The hooks to fix the fan: a horror!
        Once installed, it's fine! But you can still hear the fan too much for my taste. It's still not quiet enough.

        Little problem with the compa

        The LDLC comparator suggested I buy this fan for my Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4 motherboard, but they are not compatible:

        My motherboard is LGA 1700 format, and on the be quiet! website I find this:
        "We recommend that you do not mount your be quiet! cooler on an LGA-1700 motherboard with an LGA-1200 mounting kit, even if the motherboard offers this option, as this may damage your hardware."
        link to website: https://www.bequiet.com/fr/motherboardcheck

        Fortunately my motherboard doesn't seem to be damaged, but I wish I had been told about a compatible fan, or at least warned :(

        Replaces the original AMD fan. Day and night, cools very well (from 70 to 50) in a small space and while being quiet. Slightly audible at maximum rotation but frankly it is to quibble :)
        a very good product.

        Perfect

        Very good power supply:
        - It has a very good power supply.
        - The power supply is very good, the cables are long enough, the touch is good, the paintwork is good and the power supply is stable.
        - It is also very quiet,

        I highly recommend this power supply for anyone who doesn't need a graphics card higher than the GTX 1650.

        I opted for these products (motherboard, processor and memory sticks) on the advice of your sales representative, the objective being for me to upgrade my PC to be able to install Windows 11. Everything went well, my PC is more powerful and is now running Windows 11.

        Does the job silently

        I was not used to such large processor fans as my previous configuration was based on an Intel Core 2 duo processor installed in 2009. The fan I bought separately was very small compared to the Pure Rock Slim 2.
        The installation instructions are clear. You have to be careful when you pick it up because the base is already coated with thermal paste. A wrong move and you get it on your fingers. I did not immediately understand how to attach the fan to the side of the radiator. The diagram is not very clear. But in the end it's easy once you understand the trick.
        Once in place, I had no problem positioning the memory bars (the slim side) next to the processor.
        I don't think I can hear the noise, but my use is more internet and office based, I'm not a gamer so the processor isn't used much (Intel I5-2.6Gz).

        Fragile mounting system and delicate installation for Intel processors

        To fix this fan properly, I think it should be done when the PC is assembled, before the motherboard is in the case, because the fixing to the processor is done without the fan. There is little room to handle this fan and the springs do not stay in place without using tape. By attaching this fan you are likely to move the heatsink, which is what happened to me. Conclusion: back to the original fan, useless expense, I could see that other brands offer better designed, more solid and easier to install fixings: solid fixing of a base around the processor and then installation of the radiator + fan assembly by screwing on this base. I still gave it 2 stars because I think the AMD mounting system is better designed and should not be a problem.

        Perfect for a Ryzen 5 3600

        Mounted on a Ryzen 5 3600 I have gained 10°C over the original Wraith Stealth.
        For my use (multimedia, image processing, DTP - no games) the temperature fluctuates between 30 and 40°C with peaks around 50°C.
        A 5 minute stress-ng test on all 12 threads raises the max temperature to 64°C
        Quiet in normal use.
