Everything its the best hands down


I picked this up on sale in 2026. I'm still running am4 (5600x3d and a 6700xt) so I didn't run into some of the reports I've seen about having to chat with Razer about a proper bracket for am5. Running the pump and fans on 'normal' speed, it keeps the CPU under 60C degrees. At least on Halo @240 fps. I haven't tested it on any other games yet. It spikes up to mid 70s when loading. I'm really happy with it. As for the RGB, I have a bunch of Razer stuff that I bought on sale. I have the Halo Inifite mouse, keyboard, and mouse pad. I have Govee lights behind my monitors. When I die or run of ammo, everything flashes red. I LOVE IT.

Have used this cooler on a mostly stock 5950x and a 5700x I juiced up a bit, absolutely zero thermal concerns. Highest temperature I've seen was 70.9 with the 5700x during a stress test running at 4.7ghz. Would absolutely buy after making sure it will actually fit in whatever case I'm using.

It works just like any other.

-Daisy Chained fans make cable management a breeze -no RGB means even easier cable management -no iCUE cabling (universally compatible with any system) -no proprietary cables means fan and pump can be tuned using 3rd party software (or the BIOS) if you're not already in the corsair ecosystem -Once tuned, operates almost completely silently while still maintaining excellent temperatures (a full 10 degrees cooler at idle than my previous air cooler!) -at 90 dollars, there's hardly any other coolers in the market worth more (unless you're looking for a specific aesthetic) -at 110 dollars, the RGB version is also an option! -no need for additional cabling beyond pump and fans for full functionality

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.

Very quiet Easy to setup

-Easy install -Keeps high-end cpu cool

Keep my system below 75 with ryzen 7.

Easy install


Title really said it all.

Look amazing Neat design features like RGB strip and infinity mirrors Included RGB controller Included remote control 6 fans, a remote, and a controller for this little money? Wow!

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?

Superfast charging for both my Android S23 and ROG ally is nice to have, especially on the ally when playing while traveling and getting the most charge you can in between breaks.


Its a Fractal USB-C cable. It works as intended.


Versatile computer accessories are products that help you build laptops and computers to perform functions you need at optimal levels, whether it is for the home or office. Inside the computer case, you'll find the system unit, which organizes many of the accessories that are essential internal components. They provide access to sockets for connecting to internal parts and external peripherals. Accessories can assist in raising the performance of the system, introduce new elements to your computer, keep the operating system cooled down and make sure you have trouble-free installation. Some standard accessories are desktop cooling fans, plug connectors, and a HDD mounting kit.
The motherboard is the central component of the computer, and holds all the CPU accessories within the computer case so they can communicate and work together. The computer accessories can range from what powers the processors to the hard drive. In between, you have RAM, network cards, graphics processing units, patch panels and other hardware that help you connect all these components so they work as one unit. The motherboard includes distinct functionalities, and your computer must have a motherboard that is compatible with the processor. Upgrading your computer requires interchanging desktop accessories, and you need to make sure your upgrades are consistent with the rest of the computer components. For instance, upgrading your processor will give you faster processing, but take into account the power requirements of the other parts, like the graphics processing unit and motherboard.
Storage devices are key for determining how much you can download onto your computer. A solid-state drive (SSD) and a hard disk drive (HDD) are computer accessories that simply store data. Think of the HDD as a mechanical platter that drives the computer as it reads information. The SSD is a newer and faster type of drive that stores bits of information like a flash drive for quick access. The HDD, which is like a vinyl album, has to search for the data. Whichever you choose, there are SSD and HDD accessories needed for the build. Both need mounting kits and brackets to install them in their empty bays. Some computers may require bay adapters for the drives if they are too small for the slot. Other desktop accessories you might also want to consider are disk storage cases that protect drives when you transport them.
Upgrading your computer may require different wired accessories. For instance, if you need to change your desktop cooling fan, you might need to consider wired accessories from DC connectors to rack mounts. Furthermore, understanding which adaptor to use to convert connections smoothly is essential. Some common wired accessories to consider for upgrading are power cables, shielded jacks and keystone jacks. Some of these desktop accessories come in different colors to help you organize and group or match them by color.
