In CPU Air Coolers

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?

Easy install Good temps for such a thin heat sink All black Cool Master duh

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

Easy install Nice large and quiet cooling fans Like the addressable option

works great for my 265kf standard easy install

- great price on special - good quality - good looking - 5 cooling pipes - slim design - amazing packaging

- 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

Easy install, thing is huge but not excessively heavy, in quiet mode it is just that, Quiet. keeps my Ryzen 9 nice and cool also.

60c CPU temperature in a 94F environment for 3 hours!
