Questions about be quiet! Pure Rock Slim

Yes, most CPU coolers often already have a thin film of thermal paste applied. PS: However, I recommend always having some thermal paste in the house. For example, the following product: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (1g, 12.50W/m K)

Hello, To fix this fan you need to remove the motherboard and install the bracket provided at the back which replaces the original bracket. I installed this fan 3 days ago and all the metal and plastic support screws depending on the type of processor you have should be included in the package. If this is not the case, I advise you to contact Digitec.

Should theoretically work: The TDP of the CPU is 125W and the cooling capacity of the cooler (according to BeQuiet) is 130W. So rather close. Since the 11600K is a "K" model (freely selectable multiplier) and thus OC (overclocking) is possible, I would rather dimension the cooler higher.

Anything is better than a stock cooler !

Hello This cannot actually be the case. The decisive factor is the CPU socket type and whether the fan fits it. According to the description of the CPU, it requires socket LGA 1151, which is also supported by the fan. Therefore it should fit. Therefore, the first question: Is the CPU correctly installed? If yes: Have you mounted or tried to mount the fan correctly? This differs depending on the socket (or the manufacturer of the CPU). Please follow the instructions.

I use the cooler on an AMD board. The corresponding mounts are included, you just have to replace the mounted Intel mounts. I never ran the cooler under full load (large case with a lot of air inside), you can hardly hear it.

Hello, there is some on the processor side yes (already applied), I don't know what it is worth in the long run though.

Have you already exchanged the Intel mount for the AMD mount?

I think you can certainly get such things from manufacturers, but I think it is of little or no use to mount a second fan in terms of cooling capacity.

i7-8700 = 65W TDP Pure Rock Slim = ~120W TDP Yes, the cooling capacity is perfectly adequate.

The fan should be enough. However, it is best to buy a thermal compound and apply it alternatively to the one supplied. I would also run the fan on your 9990k at a higher speed, which you can set in the bios to achieve the best possible cooling result. I have installed this fan myself and it is really very quiet in operation.

The thermal interface is already applied to the fan

Yes, you can

Hi, no, there is no backplate. The fan is simply inserted into the holes provided with the help of push pins. A kind of clamp. The cooler weighs only 358 grams and the contact pressure on the CPU is also OK. Since it still requires some force, I can only recommend mounting with a tool, as this prevents you from slipping off.

On the bequiet website you can see that the Pure Rock Slim fits on the following bases: Intel: 1150 / 1151 / 1155 / 1156 AMD: AM2 (+) / AM3 (+) / AM4 / FM1 / FM2 I hope I was able to answer your question.

There was an AMD adapter in the box. I can't tell if it's for AM4. Otherwise I saw that Be Quiet! was offering a free kit on their website.

The thermal paste is included. In my opinion, however, you should buy your own, as the ones supplied are usually of very low quality.

more than enough yes ;)

Sockel LGA 1151, FM2+, LGA 1150, FM2, AM3+, AM2, AM2+, FM1, LGA 1156, LGA 1155, AM3

...yes, I'd rather buy an AIO, it's better.

connect the fan to the CPU fan connector of the mainboard https://www.bequiet.com/de/cpucooler/688
