High-Performance Heat Pipes
Equipped with five 6mm heat pipes, the Shadow Rock TF 2 channels heat directly to optimal areas of the cooling fins. This design delivers a compact yet impressive cooling performance of 160W TDP.
Direct Baseplate and Fin Connection
The baseplate is directly connected to the cooling fins, ensuring rapid heat transfer and optimal cooling efficiency. This ingenious concept maximizes performance within a compact form factor.
Exceptionally Quiet Operation
Even at 100% fan speed, the overall noise level is only 24.4 dB(A).
The silence-optimized 135mm be quiet! fan provides an excellent balance between cooling performance and quietness, featuring:
- 9 airflow-optimized fan blades
- Durable rifle-bearing technology
- Smooth-running 4-pole fan motor
Optimized Fins for Perfect Airflow
The small, diagonally arranged fins on the back of the cooler guide airflow efficiently across the CPU and surrounding components. This helps ensure reliable cooling for systems using compatible Intel or AMD sockets.
Space-Saving Top-Flow Design
The top-flow layout is ideal for systems with strict space limitations. The Shadow Rock TF 2 is engineered to fit where traditional tower coolers may not, while still delivering strong cooling performance.
