Dark Rock Pro 5 features 7 high-performance copper heat pipes and a special black coating with ceramic particles. This high-end CPU cooler achieves low temperatures even during periods of peak CPU performance in heavily overclocked systems.
The 2 Silent Wings PWM fans feature advanced fluid-dynamic bearings, smooth 6-pole motors and airflow-optimized fan blades. The front fan provides extremely high air pressure, thanks to a funnel-shaped air inlet in the frame. The decoupled fan mounting with vibration-isolating elements on the heat sink reduces noise-generating turbulence.
A Speed Switch allows you to choose between Quiet and Performance Modes, which control the maximum fan speed. Quiet Mode provides a maximum fan speed of up to 1500r/min and is perfect for normal applications. Performance Mode allows the Silent Wings fans to spin at up to 2000r/min and lets Dark Rock Pro 5 unfold his full power potential.
Thanks to a clever design, installation simple and elegant. The detachable mesh top cover with integrated middle fan is inserted from above. A black mounting kit with a pre-installed mounting bridge and fixing screws matches the black design of the cooler perfectly.
Dark Rock coolers have been renowned for their distinctive design for many years. Dark Rock Pro 5 continues this iconic design and can be recognized as a Dark Rock immediately. Dark Rock Pro 5 adds its own accents to the rich history of be quiet! high-end coolers.

Super Quiet and Keeps Temps Low!
Amazing cooler! Installation was straightforward, and it looks great in my build. Even under heavy load, my CPU stays cool and the fans are almost silent. Perfect balance of performance and quiet operation — totally worth it.

A big boy that fits in a compact Lian Li A3-mATX case
This is a beefy CPU cooler coming in at 168mm tall. The installation process is easy and simple, a screwdriver is supplied in the box along with thermal paste. Mounting this on my Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE was not an issue at all. The mounting kit is one of the best I have used. Once installed, it quiet and provides great airflow in my A3-case.The Dark Rock Pro 5 will fit into a Lian Li A3 case with no problems as seen in the pictures.Overall, I am very satisfied with the cooling and performace of the CPU cooler. I’m using it on a AMD 9800x3d CPU and it easily keeps it under 62C on average gaming. I don’t rely on stress test because they do not represent real word usage. When I am idle my CPU hovers between 29 – 35C. Playing GPU intensive games with my 9070XT dumping some heat out pushes the CPU to around 68C to 72C in long game play sessions.

Really good
It’s quiet, gives good temps, and looks cool. It’s a big boy. Great for the price point as well. Installation is pretty simple. Great quality, i would buy it again. The fans are big but that means better cooling

be quiet, Tell Everyone
If you are using an air cooling system for your computer, then you should be using “be quiet” fans to cool it. The name says it all, so let me explain. I could not get it to compute in my mind to use water to cool my cpu and/or video card. Let me think about this my MB = $199, My CPU = $750, My Video Card = 1000 and now you want me to add water (water cooling system approximately $299.) to this equation. This makes no sense to me, but I was using a very loud 100% copper cooler. I decided to make some changes and ordered a be quiet Pure Rock Pro 3 cooler. As soon as I installed it and turned my computer on I was totally shocked. NO CPU FAN NOISE. NONE. ZILCH. ZERO. I could not believe my ears. Then I began running all kinds of cpu, memory, video card, motherboard, and power supply test just to see if the cpu would heat up causing the fans to spin up. It did and the fans increased in speed but still NO SOUND came from the cooler itself. I could only get the cooler to make noise I could hear by running my 16 core cpu at 100%. Now running al cores and threads at 100% caused my temps to rise up to approximately 87C. Not good for long periods of time but doable. Over time and my trust in the “be quiet” line of products I switched over to the be quiet! Dark Rock Elite – TDP 280W CPU Cooler. Their line of air coolers are top notch. They are quiet and help to keep your cpu cool under all circumstances. I have run my computer in a lab setting testing medical simulations that run my computer processor at all cores running 100%, 16 cores/32 threads running 100% on the processor for months. The system never crashed unless I rebooted it and it was cooled only using air.The “be quiet” line of cpu coolers work great. I am very happy to have experienced this companies product as it works for me.

Better Than AIO – Cool, Quiet, and Built to Last
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.

Silent and Elegant
extremely quiet and cools pretty well. it’s very large but the sleek design makes up for it. the build quality of both the cooler and the fans are excellent.taking off one point for the price; theres a lot of solid competition on the market for much lower prices. you are paying a significant premium for the build quality and the silence during operation.

Good
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.

I bought this as part of an upgrade – I will be cutting/pasting part of this post into the other reviews also.About the Fan:Things have come a long way from those little fans you screwed onto your CPU (that also broke down every so often!).This thing is huge.That said, everything runs very quiet even when I am playing high end games. Easy to assemble, seems to have good airflow (hence the low noise), fits nicely and comes with thermal paste (remember the thermal paste gets applied to the CPU and then the fan is fitted – dont apply the paste to the cooler first!).This is the set up I have and they all fit in the case and are compatible:Fractal Design Define 7 Black Brushed Aluminum/Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Mid Tower Computer CaseAMD Ryzensets 7 7800X3D Processor with 3D V Cache technology (integrated Radeon Graphics, 8 cores/16 threads, 120W TDP, AM5 Socket, 104MB cache, up to 5.0 GHz max boost, no cooler)CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 AMD EXPO Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory – Grey (CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30)be quiet!

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

No hay mucho que decir. Es grande, tosco y no hace ruido.Entro justo en mi Corsair 4000d.

I use it with a i7 ultra 265k in idle im at 35 degreesIt’s easy to install, we can feel a high quality.It’s heavy for a CPU Air Cooler but it does a perfect job

hermano si buscas un disipador top de aire estas en el lugar correcto, mantiene mi ryzen 7 5000 a temperaturas demasiado buenas y creeme que es dificil escucharlo si usas audifonos, a llegado a dejar mi procesador a 42 grados mientras juego, el unico contra es que es bastante masivo y puede que tu gabinete no cierre si tienes una ram alta, ya que es ajustable, fuera de eso es un 10/10
