In CPU Air Coolers

Don't trust water cooling.

Easy to install Seems to do a good job

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?

- quiet - color - cooling - super secure mount

I've got noise cancelling headphones so my only priority is maintaining the life of my processor. this was easy to install and it does the job. The rgb lights are nice to look at too.

Runs beautifully for my budget build has zero problems gaming wise ( I mainly play rust which is a cpu heavy game)

Easy to install

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

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

Last time I bought one of these must have been for an AM Socket 2 CPU. Was about 2/3rds the size of this one for AM 4. It fit in the new case by about 1/2" and gets barely warm to the touch when the system is running. Lots of heat dissipation for sure.

Excellent Air Cooler A+ build quality Versatile, supports LGA 1700, AM4, AM5 My i5 never goes past 64c full load.

Quiet, it tamed the temps on my 13900K, coming from over a decade of water cooling as I prefer water for it being quieter, I knew my old swiftech with the apogee waterblock wouldnt be suficient to cool my new cpu, I ak glad I got this cooler.

Price, LEDs, Easy install

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

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.

Noctua Reliability very quiet fans push tons of air

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.
