THE SHADOW ROCK SLIM 2

The 540g heavy heatsink of the Shadow Rock Slim 2 stands 161mm tall, 130mm wide and 52mm long.

Tiny details like the be quiet! logo and the heatpipe covers on the top brushed aluminum plate always matter.

This time over be quiet! has squeezed 53 aluminum fins in the heatsink.

Once again however we see four 6mm thick all-copper heatpipes (this design ensures zero-clearance issues with motherboard components).

The new Shadow Rock Slim 2 features an H.D.T (heatpipe direct touch) base just like the Pure Rock 2 model reviewed a while back.

As mentioned earlier the 135mm SilentWings rifle-bearing fan is identical to that used with the first Shadow Rock Slim (1400RPM/67.8CFM/23.7dBA).

Aside their specially designed blades which increase airflow these fans feature a vibration-absorbing rubber ring.

With the bundled SilentWings fan attached the Shadow Rock Slim 2 now measures 137mm in width and 74mm in thickness.
