BeQuiet 's Shadow Rock 2 heatsink ships with a 120mm PWM fan that draws power from a standard 4-pin fan header. The 159mm tall heatsink uses four 8mm diameter copper heatpipes which pass through a square, 107mm tall fin stack. The raw aluminum fins measure 0.3mm thick and are spaced 1.75mm apart. The bottom-most fin is elevated 45mm above the socket for clearance.

The Shadow Rock 2 cooler is 122mm wide and 149mm deep, giving it a very boxy footprint. The large 8mm diameter heat pipes are soldered to the copper base plate but and swaged into the raw aluminum fins. Heatpipes are evenly spaced ~14 to ~29mm apart.

The nickel plated copper base of the BeQuiet Shadow Rock 2 measures 40x39mm in size and is between 2-6mm thick. The 8mm aluminum cap provides support for mounting brackets. At the top of the cooler we find an aluminum bezel and turned heatpipe caps - these are purely esthetic treatments.
