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.

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?

Feels like its built well fans are quite and definitely keeps everything cool

-Installed on ASUX X570 motherboard with Ryzen 7 5800x. Works well. Idle temp is 38 degrees C, moderate load is 41 degrees C. Running Linux Mint version 22.1 -Installed in a very small ATX case where I needed the head room for the CPU cooler. -No Problem with memory installation, its tight but running two 16G chips and fits perfectly -Works well, highly recommended

cpu much cooler, noctua fan seems like it will last forever

Keeps my cpu overclocked and cool

Super Quiet Super cool Looks awesome in you PC


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!

Well worth the money, well built and fit perfectly in my micro itx case.


Low profile, quiet and easy to install.


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

Comes with thermal paste, has an argb connector, and if you dont have an argb header on your mobo then there is one that comes with it so it can still light up like a Christmas tree



It has pre-applied thermal paste. Comes with the mounting things for both AM5 and LGA. The fan lights are customizable. It was pretty easy to install.

I had read comments that the fan came damaged - mine was in perfect condition. It arrived early even though it came from overseas. Super quiet too :) Took me some time to find a fan to fit my motherboard as I'm not very techy, so quite happy i have my pc back in working order :D

- It is all black even the heat pipes - it performs well
