Product details

The be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 TopFlow CPU cooler offers exceptional thermal performance with a TDP rating of 230 W while maintaining remarkably quiet operation. This premium cooling solution features a dual-tower design with two 135 mm Silent Wings 3 PWM fans that produce minimal noise emissions of just 27.1 dB(A) at maximum speed. The cooler integrates six 6 mm copper heat pipes and dual aluminum heatsinks with a special black ceramic coating for optimal heat transfer efficiency. With dimensions of 163 x 140 x 134 mm and a weight of 945 g, the Dark Rock TF 2 provides comprehensive cooling for both the CPU and surrounding motherboard components. The TopFlow design is particularly suitable for systems that require efficient heat dissipation from overclocked processors while maintaining compatibility with high-profile memory modules up to 49 mm in height. Both fans utilize advanced fluid-dynamic bearing technology and six-pole motors with nine airflow-optimized blades for reliable, long-lasting performance. The anti-vibration rubber pads on the heatsink fins further reduce operational noise. The elegant black surface with a brushed aluminum cover plate ensures an appealing appearance in any computer case. This cooler supports multiple processor sockets, including Intel LGA 1200, 115X, 2011(-3), 2066, and AMD AM3(+), AM4 platforms. The optimized mounting system facilitates straightforward installation, and the package includes all necessary mounting components for Intel and AMD systems along with thermal paste. The Dark Rock TF 2 can be operated in either dual or single fan configuration, providing flexibility for various case layouts and cooling requirements.

  • PositiveVery high cooling capacity
  • Positiveup to PWM 75 per cent whisper quiet
  • Negativetoo large for mini housing

Two 135 millimetre fans, seven heatpipes and a fighting weight of 945 grams: the be-quiet cooler outperforms the rest of the test field in terms of material usage and cooling performance, and at the lowest noise level. The downside is the high price and the height of 134 millimetres...

  • PositiveExcellent build quality
  • PositiveExtremely silent operation
  • PositiveLow(er) profile for compact builds
  • NegativeExpensive

The be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 exhibits excellent cooling ability and near-silent operation, though it faces stiff competition from its own be quiet! brethren. But as either a performance option where the clearance is the primary limiting factor, or for those who favour downdraft coolers, it's a solid choice.
