- Works great for low price

Fitted perfectly;y into my Fractal Design Meshify C enclosure with a ASUS ProArt Z890-CREATOR WIFI motherboard. That uses an Intel processor with an LGA 1851 socket. Note that the printed instructions that came with the cooler didn't mention the LGA 1851, but the online instructions had been updated to include it (it is treated just like the LGA 1700.) It is reasonably easy to install. But be careful of the assembly sequence. You need to install the underside bracket before installing the motherboard in the enclosure. And install the DIMMs before attaching the cooler. If you need to add more DIMMs later, you will need to remove the cooler to do so. Good product and it works well.

- It keeps the processor at a good temperature

Its a good company not some knock off Fly by night Cant beat it for the price and performance. Way better than any OME by far! RGB lighting Keeps CPU nice and cool!

-Great for somebody on a budget. -Cheap and looks great. - Great thermals over a stock AMD cooler

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

-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?

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

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.



Everything included to mount this TOWER cpu cooler in the system.

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.

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.

Keeps my 5800x very cool

- Keeps an overclocked i7 980 at 70 C under full load (keeps it at 55-60 C with the case panel off) - Stupid quiet even with both fans at full speed - Works great as a passive cooler when just browsing or watching videos - Comes with a AM-4 compatibility

Very efficient cooling. Product received on a very timely basis.

- Pretty quiet. - Keeps my 9700X (I know I should've gotten 7800X3D, but here we are) that is undervolted to -15mV to at most 75 degrees celcius while gaming. - Easy to install on AM5 socket.

Quiet when curve set right. Low temps comparable to my ndh15 Easy install. Standard posts on AM4
