Today we are taking a look at the Pure Rock 2 FX CPU cooler from the aptly-named and acoustics-focused Be Quiet! One of the company's latest CPU air coolers, the Pure Rock 2 FX is intended to compete in the packed mainstream cooler market as a competitively priced all-rounder.

In summary, the be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX is a good-looking cooler that hits all the right notes visually but forgot to show up when it was time to perform. That doesn't mean it is a bad cooler, as it can still easily handle lower wattage processors used in entry to mid range builds where 200+ watts isn't the norm. But if you're running an upper mid-range to higher end CPU, think Intel i7 K series, or AMD Ryzen 7 or higher, you will want something with more thermal headroom.

Purely as a CPU cooler, the be quiet! Pure Rock 2 FX offers amazing levels of performance. While we would suggest that a better balance can be found with a little tweaking of the PWM settings in the BIOS, even in ‘standard’ settings, it still provides exceptionally strong levels of CPU temperature control while also being one of the quietest CPU coolers we’ve ever tested.
