BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP Heatsink Review
  88%   
Abstract: The Shadow Rock LP is a 75mm tall low profile heatsink rated for heat loads up to 130W TDP. It's built around four 6mm diameter copper heatpipes and relies on a single 120x120x25mm "PureWings" fan operating at 1500RPM.

FrostyTech Mk.III Synthetic Thermal Heatsink Test Results
Intel Core i7, Extreme Edition class heatsinks tested at a 200W heat load.
Results based on readings from a 38x38mm copper interface die with 200W heat load on the Intel version of the Mk.III Test Platform. Temperature results listed for each heatsink were calculated by determining the rise over ambient temperatures at time of test. Information on Frostytech's test methodology is available here.

200w thermal test (°c) noise level (dba)
*heatsinks are ranked according to the 200w thermal test results column (rise over ambient temp.). low temperatures with low noise levels are considered best. for reference heatsinks with variable-speed fans, only the high speed (12v) fan test result is included in the comparison sheet; more detailed results reside in each specific heatsink review.

Frostytech's socket LGA2011 Intel synthetic thermal test platform stresses socket LGA2011/1366 compatible heatsinks with a 200W heat load. Keep in mind that the AMD Integrated Heat Spreader and Intel LGA2011 Integrated Heat Spreader both measure ~38x38mm, so these test results can be extrapolated to AMD processor scenario's as well.

With a 200W heat load applied by the Intel LGA2011/1366 version of FrostyTech's synthetic thermal test platform, the BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP heatsink yields an average temperature result of 27.9°C over ambient at stock fan speed (1500RPM / 42.6dBA).

If we filter the 200W heatsink reference chart down to only heatsinks standing 100mm tall or less, the low profile BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP moves up in the ranks to 3rd best low profile LGA2011 cooler tested thus far - behind the very loud Silverstone NT06P at 22.1°C over ambient and the quieter Raijintek Pallas at 22.2°C over ambient.

Bottom line, where low profile LGA2011 compatible heatsinks are considered, the BeQuiet Shadow Rock LP offers both quiet and competitive cooling performance. Obviously though, where height limitations are not an issue in your computer system, there are plenty of other heatsinks to choose from which can offer cooler operating temps by virtue of their larger volume. Recommended.
