Pure Rock Pro 3: Available as a twin-tower cooler for the first time
With the Pure Rock Pro 3 series, be quiet! is bringing twin-tower coolers to the entry-level segment for the first time. Despite their compact dimensions, these models offer a TDP of 250 W, allowing them to cool even powerful CPUs efficiently. The heat is effectively dissipated by six nickel-plated heatpipes.
The three variants differ in terms of design and fan selection:
- Pure Rock Pro 3 Silver: Two-tone silver and black design with two Pure Wings 3 120 mm PWM fans.
- Pure Rock Pro 3 Black: Completely black design for a discreet, elegant appearance.
- Pure Rock Pro 3 LX: High-quality Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM fans for ARGB lighting and powerful cooling.
The fans are equipped with a funnel-shaped air outlet that optimizes the airflow. The maximum noise level is 34.8 dB(A), even at full speed.
Pure Rock 3: Compact performance with high air pressure
The Pure Rock 3 models are classic single-tower coolers with four 6 mm heatpipes and a maximum TDP of 190 W. The slim design ensures high RAM and VRM compatibility so that the cooler fits easily into compact systems.
Two variants are available:
- Pure Rock 3 Black: Classic black design with Pure Wings 3 120 mm PWM fan.
- Pure Rock 3 LX: Complements the black design with ARGB lighting and a Light Wings LX 120 mm PWM fan.
Both models achieve a maximum noise level of 31.2 dB(A) and are easy to install thanks to the pre-assembled mounting bracket.
