be quiet! Pure Rock 3
1. Introduction
be quiet! apart from the high-end CPU coolers also introduces to the market more affordable products and is properly priced for entry-level users, like the newly announced, Pure Rock 3.
The single-tower Pure Rock 3 comes in two different models: Pure Rock 3 Black and Pure Rock 3 LX. Both air coolers feature an all-black design with four high-performance 6mm heat pipes with HDT technology, offering a high 190W TDP cooling capacity for modern CPUs. Pure Rock 3 Black comes pre-installed with an optimized Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM fan with a funnel-shaped air outlet, while the Pure Rock 3 LX model can rely on a specially designed Light Wings LX 120mm fan that allows for impressive ARGB effects and nicely complements the all-black design of the heat pipes and heat sink. The sound level for both models doesn’t exceed 31.2 dB(A) even at maximum fan speed. For easy installation, the mounting bridge and screws are pre-installed on the cooler. Offset mounting for better compatibility with the latest AMD Ryzen CPUs is supported as well. Thanks to its slim design, Pure Rock 3 increases RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly and is the perfect choice for PC cases that have limited space.

KEEP IT COOL
Pure Rock 3 Black is aimed at consumer PCs. With 190W TDP it offers an excellent cooling capacity for gaming, multimedia and graphics systems, as well as mainstream or entry level computers of all types.HIGH-PERFORMANCE HEAT PIPES
Pure Rock 3 Black is equipped with 4 black 6mm heat pipes, matching the color of the heat sink. The heat pipes are key to the cooler’s great cooling performance, because they transport the heat to optimum locations on the cooling fins. They do so with minimal bends and high bending radius, to maintain the performance of each heat pipe as good as possible.
OPTIMIZED TO THE MAX
Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM and Pure Rock 3 Black are a perfect match. The fan features optimized fan blades for highest performance. The angles are adjusted to achieve even more air pressure, adding up to the extraordinary performance. A specially designed, funnel shaped air outlet is more than just the icing on the cake: it maximizes the airflow over the fins.
MULTIPLATFORM
The Pure Rock 3 Black's slim design increases RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly and enables limitless memory height. Thanks to its compact construction Pure Rock 3 Black is the perfect choice for PC cases that have limited space. Notwithstanding, it allows full configuration of RAM banks.
SUPER EASY INSTALLATION
Installation is easier than ever with the Pure Rock 3 Black. Thanks to its convenient, preinstalled mounting bridge plus screws and a firm yet gentle fixing method, cooler attachment is a breeze. Users of an AM5 CPU by AMD can benefit from an offset mounting to center the heat pipes above the hot spots of their CPU.
DESIGN UPGRADE
Who says that neat looking products must be expensive? Pure Rock 3 Black comes in an unmistakable all-black design which perfectly complements the lighting effects its fan offers. Every little detail is carefully arranged, making Pure Rock 3 Black a design gem in its class.
