CONCLUSION

   be quiet! may not be amongst the leading manufacturers worldwide but they've made a name for themselves inside the EU (Germany especially) and finally after all this time i now know why. You see it's not just the performance and noise levels of their Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU Cooler that really make it a great product but also the build quality which is right on par with what we've seen from Noctua and that alone is quite impressive. Of course the latest NH-D14 LGA2011 performed marginally better but on the other hand the Dark Rock Pro 2 was slightly less noisy (almost inaudible) so I’d really call it a tie. The only downside i can think with be quiet! products is their availability which is limited to say the least outside of the EU so i really hope that this can be resolved in the coming months.

   As we speak the Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU Cooler by be quiet! currently retails for 68.90Euros inside the EU (Caseking) a price tag which lands it right next to the NH-D14 LGA2011 edition so with both CPU Coolers performing roughly the same the end decision for most people will most likely be based on brand preference and availability (and perhaps product color). However our conclusion is always based on both the recorded performance levels and the price tag of a product so since the Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU Cooler by be quiet! comes with top notch performance and the lowest noise levels between all the dual-tower CPU Coolers we've ever tested to date it grabs hold of our Platinum Award.
