be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim High Compatibility CPU Cooler Review @HiTech Legion

So recently, it seems that the space around the CPU is starting to get rather crowded.  With RAM growing taller with new packaging and larger heat spreaders, it getting hard to fit underneath full-size single, and even dual-tower coolers.  But, it's not going unnoticed, as some cooler companies are finding ways to build over and around the problem.  Rather than cutting space away from the cooler to make everything fit, can a more compact solution be found while keeping up with the cooling needs of modern CPUs?  be quiet! thinks so.

At first glance, the Shadow Rock Slim simply looks like a really nicely designed and constructed smaller heatsink. It has the nice, brushed aluminum top, well-constructed fin array and well polished nickel plated contact plate. Then you get to looking closer and you notice the four 6mm copper pipes, rather than the usual three, in a slim cooler with a unique layout and that 135mm fan.
