Keeps all but the most demanding CPUs cool. If you aren't big on OCing, this is a solid option for getting your rig together. Ample documentation. Even a tube of thermal grease if you didn't have any.

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!

I have a 5700x3d. This thing keeps it at super manageable temps, even on more CPU-heavy games. For the price this thing does its job very well.

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

-Price -Easy to install (AMD 4/5) -Nearly as good as Noctua (1-2 degrees less) -Quiet

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?

- Very powerful cooling air flow; - 2nd fan moves above RAM modules; - Stays almost silent under average load; - Easy to install; - Very nice looking.

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.

reduced cost, but not reduced quality Significant improvements in thermals and noise across the board



Good price to performance. Low temps and a bit overkill for my Ryzen 9 3900.


Super Quiet Super cool Looks awesome in you PC

the price and it works

ARGB Fans Incredible price to performance Easy to install Good aesthetics

I enjoyed how easy it was to install

EASY SETUP RUNS GOOD


-Matches my case and the smooth outer ring of LEDs looks particularly nice. -Coupled with Thermal Grizzly Duronaut paste, my cpu is running 28C at idle and maxing out at 63C under sustained stress test. Granted, the Ryzen 5 5500GT isn't the spiciest processor out there, but I've never had ANY processor, better or worse, run so cool.
