A great choice for HTPCs and it's nearly inaudible

PureOC takes a look at the Shadow Rock TopFlow

The editors at PureOC like the looks of this cooler and the fact it comes in an unusual size for a top-down cooler. They like the final appearance as it comes with a large SilentWings 2 fan mounted to its top which when installed lets only the fan appear in front of you. There are even slight overclocking possibilities with this cooler.

“Overall, this is a cooler worth looking at, especially if you are looking for a good cooler for HTPC format. On one last note, at full load, the 120mm fans were nearly inaudible. If you are looking for a nearly silent cooler, this is a great choice.”
