be quiet! Shadow Rock LP and Dark Rock TF - CES 2015

Be Quiet! showcases two new CPU coolers at CES 2015 alongside the Silent Base 800 case. The presenter introduces the Shadow Rock LP, a low-profile cooler designed for compact builds, boasting a 130 W TDP, four 6 mm heat pipes, and a 120 mm Pure Wings 2 fan, which together deliver a claimed maximum noise level of 25.5 dB. The host highlights a refined mounting system that allows a screwdriver to be fed through the top of the cooler, simplifying installation. Next is the Dark Rock TF, a larger dual-chamber cooler with six 6 mm heat pipes and a pair of 135 mm Silent Wings fans, rated for 220 W TDP. A key note is that removing the lower fan provides improved RAM compatibility, a recurring concern for users with tall memory modules. Both coolers share a three year warranty and follow a dual heat sink design, with Be Quiet! framing them as strong options for compact media centers or larger desktops where silent operation is valued. The segment also frames the Silent Base 800 case as a backdrop for these products, and references Linus Tech Tips CES coverage, Phantom Glass screen protectors, HyperX and Kingston, all contributing to the broader CES narrative. The video closes with release timing notes, suggesting availability around March, and a tease of upcoming Be Quiet! content during the same trip, reinforcing the channel’s CES coverage cadence.
