Be Quiet! PURE ROCK SLIM 2 – Compact CPU Cooling

The be quiet! PURE ROCK SLIM 2 is a compact tower-style CPU cooler designed for systems where efficient cooling and limited internal space are both important considerations. With a cooling capacity of up to 130W TDP and an overall height of just 135mm, it is particularly well suited to compact PC cases and smaller desktop configurations. The cooler combines a brushed aluminium heatsink with three 6mm heat pipes using direct-touch technology to transfer heat away from the processor. Cooling is provided by a single 92mm Pure Wings 2 PWM fan, which operates at up to 2,000 RPM. The PURE ROCK SLIM 2 focuses on a compact footprint while retaining the cooling characteristics expected from a dedicated tower CPU cooler.

Three Direct-Touch Heat Pipes

The heatsink uses three 6mm heat pipes combined with a direct-touch CPU contact design. These heat pipes provide the primary path for transferring thermal energy from the processor into the aluminium heatsink, where airflow from the fan can dissipate the accumulated heat. The heatsink itself measures 82 × 97 × 135mm, while the overall cooler dimensions remain compact enough for systems with restricted vertical clearance. The brushed surface treatment gives the cooler a clean, understated appearance consistent with be quiet!'s design approach. With a specified cooling capacity of 130W TDP, the PURE ROCK SLIM 2 is designed for entry-level and mainstream desktop systems where a compact air cooler is preferred. Its direct-touch heat pipe arrangement also helps maximise the available cooling surface within the slim tower design.

Pure Wings 2 92mm PWM Fan

Airflow is provided by a single Pure Wings 2 92mm PWM fan measuring 92 × 92 × 25mm. The fan operates at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM and uses a rifle bearing design. Its 4-pin PWM connection allows the motherboard to regulate fan speed according to system temperature and workload, helping balance cooling performance with acoustic output. At 50%, 75% and 100% PWM operation, the cooler is specified at approximately 13.1, 19.2 and 25.4 dB(A) respectively. The fan provides airflow of up to 34.9 CFM, with a specified static pressure of 1.63 mmH₂O. Its rated lifespan is 80,000 hours at 25°C, providing a long-term cooling solution for compatible desktop systems.

Designed for Compact PC Builds

One of the main characteristics of the PURE ROCK SLIM 2 is its compact construction. At just 135mm tall, the cooler is designed to fit PC cases where larger tower coolers may not be suitable. Despite its reduced dimensions, the design allows for a full configuration of the motherboard's RAM memory banks, helping avoid unnecessary restrictions around the memory area. The cooler weighs approximately 0.38kg and uses a relatively narrow heatsink arrangement to maintain its compact profile. This makes it particularly suitable for compact gaming PCs, multimedia systems and other desktop builds where internal clearance is an important consideration. The combination of a 130W cooling capacity and compact 135mm height gives builders a practical air-cooling option without moving to a larger dual-tower cooler or liquid cooling system.

Intel and AMD Socket Compatibility

The PURE ROCK SLIM 2 supports a broad selection of Intel and AMD desktop sockets. Intel compatibility includes LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1150, LGA1151 and LGA1155, while AMD compatibility includes AM5 and AM4. The mounting system is designed to provide straightforward installation across supported platforms, with the AMD mounting solution optimised for installation in alignment with the system airflow. The cooler is supplied with an Intel and AMD mounting set, while thermal grease is supplied applied according to the manufacturer's specification. This broad socket compatibility makes the PURE ROCK SLIM 2 suitable for a range of modern and previous-generation desktop platforms, provided the selected processor and motherboard use one of the supported sockets.

Quiet, Practical Cooling Solution

The be quiet! PURE ROCK SLIM 2 combines compact dimensions, a 130W cooling capacity and quiet-focused fan operation into a straightforward air-cooling solution for desktop PCs. Its three 6mm direct-touch heat pipes, aluminium heatsink and 92mm Pure Wings 2 PWM fan provide the core cooling hardware, while the fan's maximum rated noise level of 25.4 dB(A) keeps the design focused on controlled acoustic output. With support for Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 alongside AMD AM5 and AM4, it can be used across a wide range of compatible systems. Its 135mm height is particularly useful for compact cases, making the PURE ROCK SLIM 2 a practical choice when both processor cooling and internal space need to be considered.
