be quiet! Dark Rock TF 2 in the test – top cooler with top flow

On the update roadmap from be quiet! This time, a cooler not only got a makeover, but also an upgrade to a higher product segment. We are talking about the successor to the popular SHADOW Rock TF 2, the new DARK Rock TF 2. You can read about what has changed and how the newcomer is doing in the following article:

Packaging and scope of delivery

As you are used to from this manufacturer, the cooler comes in a completely black box. As usual, there is a large product image on the front, while various texts and tables on the side and on the back provide precise information about the properties of the content.

In order to prevent possible damage during transport, be quiet! uses a combination of foam and folded cardboard. Protected in this way, nothing should happen on the shipping route, even if handled roughly.

The accessories include the usual mounting material, fan clips and a small tube of thermal paste.

For buyers without a second CPU fan connection on the mainboard, a short Y-splitter cable for the two 4-pin PWM fans is also included.

Assembly and installation

As with almost all coolers, the pre-assembled backplate for the AM4 socket is used again. The two existing plastic brackets are removed and replaced with small metal spacers and brackets.

The cooler is then fixed in this with two screws, which have to be tightened through the cooling fins with your own screwdriver. With a little sensitivity, this also works with fans that have already been installed.

First of all, the comparison between the predecessor and the new version:
