have used this cooler on a number of builds. Easy to install and performs well. Excellent value at its price point.

- It works. - Fit perfectly - RGB is fun - Much queiter than the case fans - Price!

Be Quiet Dark Rock 5 PRO is the BEST air cooling solution for INTEL socket 1700 and AMDs as well!!!!! IT is huge, I broke down 5 computers trying to find a case it fit in! Some of which I am parting out, and others that need to be re-assembled! I had two cases that it would fit in, and one has an 8inch fan in the side, that I didn't want to take out to make room for this huge heatsink, so that left me with an NZXT case which only fit in because the fan was lower than the heatsink! The Dark Rock 5 has a TDP of 210, which I returned for the Dark Rock 5 PRO with a TDP of 270. I am running a i9-14900k, & a i7-14700k, they both idle around 29c. Under stress test mid 50s to mid 60s. One test it "popped up" to 71-73c for very brief seconds! I get NO THROTTLING from high temp or lack of power! Currently running i9 @ 5ghz ALL CORE! The i7 4.8ghz ALL CORE, but pretty sure I can take it up to 5ghz & stay at the same temps, with a little tweaking of the AC/DC Load-Line! GERMAN ENGINEERING what more needs to be said! Most people are saying you HAVE to use a water cooler on these hot i7s & i9s, but these Dark Rocks ROCK!!!! I did use liquid metal. Those that say you have to worry about RAM clearance, I have no clue! I am running 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance, and I have the fan as low as it will goo, and I can still fit a piece of cardboard from a notebook between the fan & RAM sticks. Keep in mind the fan is designed where it can be raised a bit. SO put the RAM clearance out of your mind! OH, and the clip on fan are no trouble at all! AND the center fan comes out easy, don't know why some of the folks make comment about that. I seated & unseated it quite a few times! For me the "CPU fan header" was the pain in my?

Temps dropped by 30° on my R5 3600 Easy install Includes pre applied thermal paste Mounting method makes upgrading CPUs much much easier with the secondary bracket design.

- quiet - color - cooling - super secure mount

quiet, its huge, its awesome

Big cooling Thick fan Quiet operation and effective fan speed op 100% recommended even in the hotter Intel chips.

Great, it has a 270 watt tdp and it looks cool

Two 120mm aRGB fans

EXCELLENT AIR COOLER ITS A BIT LARGE TAKES PART ON TOP OF THE RAMS BUT THE COOLING ITS AWESOME INCLUDES 2 FANS AND A VERY LARGE AIRSINK AND ALSO HAS PREAPPLIED THERMAL PASTE RIGHT OUT THE BOX.

- Quiet - Looks good - Keeps my i7-9700K temps low even under load

Looks great astheticaly, (if you get it in the right color) and is easy to customize, since you can take the top part of and easily spray-paint it if you like.

I liked it very much, they improved the installation for AMD systems based on AM4 and AM5.

Feels like its built well fans are quite and definitely keeps everything cool

It has pre-applied thermal paste. Comes with the mounting things for both AM5 and LGA. The fan lights are customizable. It was pretty easy to install.

-Great for somebody on a budget. -Cheap and looks great. - Great thermals over a stock AMD cooler

- Easy modern mounting for AM5 - Good even contact - Great temperatures - Idle 35c / Prim95 60c / Peak 69c - Looks good - Good build quality - I think the fans sound fine, at high loads they ramp up and get louder, but its a smooth sound without any annoying hub whine or other jarring fan sounds. - Includes a fan splitter & speed switch for High 2000+ RPM, PWM default, and low 1800 RPM settings. I left mine on default PWM motherboard controlled. - Premium packaging materials and unboxing experience

the price and it works
