be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU Cooler, Silent Cooling, High Airflow

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.

Very pleased with this cooler. Replaced a 360 aio Corsair for this and it’s quite a bit quieter under load and keeps my risen 7800x around 65c under load.

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!

Very large and heavy but silent keeps the cpu cool

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.

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!

Good value for the price, I was initially looking and testing the Noctua DH-15 G2 but ultimately kept the Dark Rock 5Cooling 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 caseDownside of this design is if the central fan is specific to the coolerI 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

Très performant sur un i7 13700K overclocké, très silencieux mais malheureusement trop gros pour pouvoir fermer le boîtier !En revanche, sur un U7 270K Plus OC, je suis un peu moins satisfait, le CPU montant à 105 degrés sous OCCT.J’ai dû le remplacer par un AIO Pure Loop 3 en 280mm, qui maintient le CPU à 96 degrés, toujours sous OCCT. C’est encore trop haut mais déjà un peu plus raisonnable.Je n’ai jamais vu un processeur monter à ce point en température, même stressé à fond, et je me demande quel modèle de refroidisseur pourrait le maintenir à une température correcte, autour de 85 degrés en stress j’entends.L’enorme ventirad DeepCool Assassin IV ayant également du mal à le contenir sous les 100 degrés…

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

Silencioso incluso si tiene que disipar más en operaciones más exigentes.Muy eficiente, mantiene mi 14700F a raya.Muy bien presentado en cuanto a envasado y accesorios.Deja mucho espacio a memorias con disipadores estrambóticos.Eso sí, grande como un gorrino grande.Y sin colorines, uff...

ASUS B850-PLUS WiFiCPU RYZEN 7 9700Xグリス AINEX JP-DX2ケース BeQuiet DARK Base701CPU設定、BIOSを標準のままだとGoW4画質最高設定の高負荷時の最高温度87℃、BIOSを最新版にすると82℃でした。自作初心者なので冷えているかどうか分かりません。CINEBENCH R23では最高温度70℃。アイドル時は37℃でした。CPUクーラーの高負荷時は音は聞こえますが不快ではありません。静音だと思います。高級感と使用感は満足です。耐久性も問題なさそうです。取り付けは分かりやすく簡単でした。

Very good performance. it fit good in my dual chamber atx case. It keeps my CPU at 29- 32 degrees on idle. and of course it's very quiet.I have a i9- 12900kf. For the heaviest games and anything i can throw at it; it wont go over 50-60 degrees. Now that being said. if your going to do rendering with a CPU like the one i have, this cooler will just barely be enough. it will keep the cpu at 97 degrees at absolute full workload which is insane and i would never need it's full power like that just for gaming. But if your doing heavy rendering, this, by itself may be cutting it close as my cpu did thermal throttle briefly a few times in a cinebench test. the end score was still excellent within 10% of perfect max performance.Perhaps changing to more powerful fans might help but im unsure if the middle 140mm fan can be swapped out. You could definitely change that 120mm fan out no problem.by the way the cooler fits with the ram sticks perfectly and if your ram is a little bit taller it will still work because you can move the 120mm fan up a little bit to make more room for the ram.All and any gaming this will keep your even very hot cpu very cool. but for crazy intensive cpu work related tasks like rendering that uses very 100% of the cpu this one will just barely cut it.Very good product and for gaming its perfect.
