be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 Air CPU Cooler, Immensely High Airflow, 7 High-Performance Copper Heat Pipes, Silent Wings 120mm PWM Fan, Silent Wings 135mm PWM Fan, Virtually Inaudible Operation, BK036

I’ve had this Dark Rock Pro 5 for 6 months now and it’s been absolutely fantastic, it was super easy to install and it fit first time, the cooling was fantastic and it would make very little noise as well, for the value it’s great, I’d heavily recommend be quiet!

This was simple to install with the included brackets. It replaces a cheaper option that quite simply didnt cool the CPU effectively enough, especially when rendering in After Effects. The build quality is excellent, the performance switch, for me, is a little bit of a gimmick, just put it on performance and leave it. Couple this with quality thermal paste and you will see results comparable to a mid tier AIO. My temps now stay around 50-66 degrees and when rendering (AE uses all cores 100%) the highest temp I have seen is 90 degrees so the CPU no longer throttles when rendering.

This is a really good cooler. I use it on my 5800x3d that I have tried a few air coolers on and I will be sticking with this one. It looks good too.

Good value for the price, I was initially looking and testing the Noctua DH-15 G2 but ultimately kept the Dark Rock 5 Cooling with H-15 was better overall but I'm not overclocking and my cpu is generally in the 50/60% range while gaming so the Dark Rock is a better fit overall. 50% cheaper and very quiet, when I turn all other case fans off and put the Dark Rock at 100% speed it's puzzling how little noise is getting out of my case Downside of this design is if the central fan is specific to the cooler I hear the Peerless Assassin crowd but I'm not only looking at Pound per TDP cooled, build quality, Noise, etc also matters to me

So much easier to install compared to the version a couple years ago

Easy enough install, depending on the airflow configuration you want you may need an extension cable as the one included isn’t long enough if you’re going for front to back airflow and your mb pins are above the fan. That was the only mild irritation. I had initially thought, wow, this is a big boy, this may not fit in my case, but it did, just. My build is in a Lian Li Lancool III if anyone’s interested. Initial temps look very good, sitting around 33–42°C per core with a few cores having peaked earlier in the high-50s after I’d played a bit of GTA 5in 4k, but at 60fps as I’m on a TV. That’s with the cooler on quiet mode, not performance mode. Noise wise, it’s not louder than the AIO liquid cooling system it has replaced, and there’s no pump to fail which is a bonus (that’s what prompted this purchase). In face, I think it’s slightly quieter. Hopefully the lifespan will be longer than the AIO which only managed 4 years. Overall, yes.. I recommend this, and the long, magnetic screwdriver included is actually very nice tool! Bonus!

It does the job but like you can get watercooler instead thats not as massive for same price and increase the temps by like 7* if it was £20 cheaper would be 5/5

Really need to know what kind of thermal paste is included with this product as I can’t find out anywhere online if it is silicone based or not.

No hace nada de ruido y refrigera bastante bien, eso sí, casi no cabe y mi caja es muy ancha.

Running the Dark Rock Pro 5 paired with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. After nearly 10 years on AIOs—cycling through 3–4 units due to pump failures or leaks—I decided to switch back to air cooling, and I’m glad I did. This cooler outperforms my previous 240mm AIO in every way: lower temps, quieter operation, and far less hassle. With a minor undervolt, temps stay under 78°C during stress testing and idle around 38°C, evenly across all cores. Under normal use and gaming sessions, it doesn’t break 60°C. If a fan ever fails, it’s a quick swap—not a full teardown like with an AIO. Build quality is excellent, and it looks great in the case. Installation was smooth, and it fits perfectly on LGA1851. If you want reliable, top-tier air cooling with better thermals and long-term peace of mind, this is the one to get.

Top. Eenvoudig te installeren.

En lo particular prefiero el enfriamiento por ventilación, y este producto es de lo mejor, ya es mi tercer producto de la misma marca que compro y no me han fallado
