Typically when we think of high-end air CPU coolers we think of the traditional tower-style coolers with multiple fans. be quiet! really changed with their top-flow Dark Rock TF which launched back in 2015. Now be quiet is back with their Dark Rock TF 2 which brings with it a dual-heatsink, dual-fan design with six 6mm heatpipes capable of handling thermal loads up to 230W. In this new version be quiet! has reworked the heatsink, mounting, top cover, and added new Silent Wings 3 fans. Is this the ultimate air cooler for your next build? thinkcomputers.org

be quiet!'s Dark Rock TF 2 is a great option if you're looking for a high-end air cooler, especially in builds with limited height or if you prefer top-flow to cool components around the CPU like VRMs or RAM.

I’ve been considering the Dark Rock TF 2 for a compact build, and this thread is super helpful. I’ve always leaned toward tower-style coolers, but the top-flow design here sounds really smart—especially for keeping VRMs and RAM cool. The fact that it supports up to 230W TDP is impressive too. Curious if anyone has compared its real-world noise levels with something like the Noctua NH-C14S? Silent Wings 3 fans seem promising, but I’d love to hear user experiences before making the jump.
