Be Quiet! supply the Shadow Rock Pro in a reasonably compact cardboard box that is decorated in a black livery with white and orange text. The cardboard used is quite thick and there is a fair amount of inner foam packaging so the cooler is well protected within. The front of the box features a small image of the cooler alongside a list of some of the coolers key features.
Turning the box around reveals a blueprint-style image of the cooler which is used to highlight some of the key features. There is also a detailed list of specifications on the rear and a detailed list of features on the side of the box.
The included bundle consists of all the required mounting accessories, a small tube of thermal paste and a brief installation guide. The fan is supplied pre-attached to the cooler and it doesn't need to be removed for installation.
The price is really good, most of the higher end performance coolers are £50-£70 now. and this one probably has a better fan than any of them, technically anyway
I love their fans, best on the market by a long shot
I doubt many people buy an £80 cooler, most companies need to stop focusing on beating everyone else and getting something at this price point that allows for overclocking.
the difference between 70c and 75c really means very little at the end of the day to you, or the processor.
And just like most air HSF manufacturers they fail to take into account those of us who choose to use Dimms with tall heat spreaders the likes of Corsairs Dominator DHX for instance, so for me and many others like me this is a complete waste of time, Would it kill manufacturers to use a fricken measuring tape and add another 1.5cm to the heatpipes ” NO IT WOULDN’T ” it’s lazy ass designers
