It's look cool with other case with RGB fans! can easily cool the high temp CPU but it was pretty good one It's came with thermal paste very neat!

Drop my computer temperature from idling at 90C(bad stock CPU fan) to idling at around 40C after installation. it also includes a tube of thermal paste in it.

Looks good for my blackout build. cools great, SUPER quite at FULL RPM.

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

keeps things cool, have never had the cpu get anywhere near a high temperature

- quiet - color - cooling - super secure mount

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

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?

Everything included to mount this TOWER cpu cooler in the system.

Easy to install Quiet Looks great



Purchase and tech support was great. Fan comes with a thermal paste applied and everything needed. Easy to assemble. Unfortunately my ram cards were too tall so the fan could clear over them and had to return.

I use MSI 's Mystic Light to sync the color with other fans. Keeps my Ryzen 7 9800X3D temp at 39 to 42(C) idling The DDR5 memory sits little high, I was able to moving 1 fan half inch above the heatsink. I ran 3dMark Demo 's Steel Nomad, the temperature peak at 51.3 (c) for a second, Averge temperature was 44(C)

Great cooling potential. Does what I need it to do. The side fan is adjustable height wise. See photo demo. Adjustable speed switch for the center fan. Performance and quiet.

I had read comments that the fan came damaged - mine was in perfect condition. It arrived early even though it came from overseas. Super quiet too :) Took me some time to find a fan to fit my motherboard as I'm not very techy, so quite happy i have my pc back in working order :D


My Ryzen 5800XT runs at 32c at idle and never hits 60c while gaming. Easy to install.

Quiet - big reduction in volume from my previous (water) cooler Effective
