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?

-Cheap (got it on sale for 16 bucks!) -Effective if you dont want to overclock or have one of the chips that run hot. Aesthetics are nice

Easy install

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

Outstanding quiet efficient cooling. Bought the second fan wanting maximum cooling and ended up not needing it anyway for a ryzen 7 7800x3d. I have it mounted in a very well ventilated full ATX case and I see maximum 78*C on stress tests and gaming for 8+ hours at a time. I wanted to stay away from AIO coolers or water and this thing is amazing. It's really not loud the case fans are louder anyway

- extremely affordable given its performance - solid build quality - very easy installation

Price point Quality

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.

- Easiest installation of any air HSF cooler I've done in a while - It cools my current AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU better than expected. CPU is running quite frosty right now - RGB is done tastefully and looks quite good.

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

-Great cooling potential: just as good as most AIO water coolers -Nearly silent at low RPMs, still very quiet at max RPMs -Not prone to wear out or leak like AIO coolers -Thermal grease included -Simple to install

The packaging is high-end plus they include all the accessories you may need: L-shape screwdriver, thermal paste, Y-splitter, case badge, etc. Instruction manual is clear and easy to read. The mounting system is simple and also includes a kit for LGA 1700 (Alder Lake) if you are going to change your system in the future. As for the heatsink and fans: they run quiet while cooling superbly. Noctua looks good in black too, especially when you put one of the covers on.
