    Pure Rock Pro 3 is ready for modern flagship CPUs like Intel's Core i9 or AMD's Ryzen 9 series.

    Pure Rock Pro 3 Black features 6 black high-performance copper heat pipes with nickel-plated base. As a result, this high-end cooler always keeps your CPU at peak performance, even in overclocked systems and demanding workstations.

    OPTIMIZED TO THE MAX

    For unprecedented air pressure in its class

    Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM and Pure Rock Pro 3 Black are a perfect match. The fan features optimized fan blades for highest performance. The angles are adjusted to achieve even more air pressure, adding up to the extraordinary performance. A specially designed, funnel shaped air outlet is more than just the icing on the cake: it maximizes the airflow over the fins.

    MULTIPLATFORM

    High compatibility

    Despite being a double-tower air cooler, Pure Rock Pro 3 Black’s compact offset design increase RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly. The height of the front fan can be adjusted, if needed.

    SUPER EASY INSTALLATION

    No tutorial needed

    Installation is easier than ever with the Pure Rock Pro 3 Black. Its mounting kit is self-explanatory and easy to use, making attaching the cooler a breeze. Users of an AM5 CPU by AMD can benefit from an offset mounting to center the base plate above the hot spots of their CPU.

    "It takes a lot to earn the title "Pro" with us. Pure Rock Pro 3 definitely deserves it. I've been working at be quiet! for over 20 years now and I never thought that a Pure Rock cooler would have such cooling performance. It's amazing what we've achieved in all this time!"

    The be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 Black is a dual-fan tower CPU air cooler rated for up to 250W TDP, suited to modern Intel or AMD desktop builds that need substantial air cooling and broad socket compatibility.

    Recommended For

    • People building a quiet gaming or everyday work PC around a mainstream CPU who want dual-tower air cooling without needing a liquid cooler; reviews found it quiet at typical fan speeds and suitable for stock-power loads.
    • AM5 builders who want an air cooler with offset mounting intended to center the base over the CPU’s hot spots, while keeping RAM and VRM-cooler clearance in mind.
    • PC builders who prefer an understated black, non-RGB cooler and want a dual-tower design that independent testing found notably quiet at moderate fan speeds.
    • Builders replacing a stock CPU cooler who want a substantial air-cooling upgrade for gaming or other mixed workloads, rather than chasing the lowest temperatures on a flagship CPU at maximum power.
