Pros

  • Anyway thanks for the advice and I did order a be quiet pure rock 2 just for a little upgrade to the basic! :)

Cons

  • The Pure Rock 2 is also an older design, and the older Be Quiet coolers don't work well with AM5.
  • I have a Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 cooler. My case is a Zalman Z1 Neo, which is not ideal, but I replaced the two stock front fans with two Arctic F12s.
  • OP's cooler is a single-tower cooler with only 4 heatpipes. This is the main issue. Its a competent cooler, and doing the job of keeping the CPU within its temp spec. If OP wants the CPU to run cooler - they need a better cooler.
  • My cpu cooler is a be quiet pure rock 2.
