be quiet! is an enthusiast favorite that is well known for producing a plethora of silence-focused PC products. From cases and coolers to power supplies, they have garnered a significant following over the years. This likely stems from the fact that they don't pad shelves with a new product every few months. be quiet! instead focuses on refining core designs, and it shows as they continue to rack up numerous awards from both reviewers and readers alike, earning their popularity due in part to their philosophy of "no compromise silence and performance."In today's review, I will be taking a look at the Shadow Rock 3, which features an offset, large cooling tower that receives heat via five Ø6 mm heat pipes with a single 120 mm Shadow Wings 2 fan for airflow. Altogether, the design is rated to handle a maximum TDP of 190 watts. Unlike other manufacturers going with RGB everything, be quiet! opted for a higher contrast black and white theme with no LEDs.
