The be quiet! Shadow Rock TF 2 is of course the successor to the original Shadow Rock TopFlow air cooler. Essentially, it is a new low-profile cooler from the German company aimed at those with who don't want to compromise on cooling despite owning a ITX or SFF case. But is it worth £59.99?

Clearly, the most interesting thing about the be quiet! Shadow Rock TF 2 is its size, but all is not as you might expect. This is because other low-profile coolers we have seen previously, like the Cryorig C7, have been tiny – the C7 measures just 47mm high, for instance – but the TF 2 actually comes in at 112mm tall. For me, this puts it in a sort of in-between area, as it is not quite ‘low-profile' but nor is it a standard air tower cooler. It is certainly an interesting product so let's dive right into the review.
