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?

The pump heads translucent fog like dome is extremely cool looking. The halo fans are also really cool with the 24 leds on each fan. I have this cooling a ryzen 9 5950x and it keeps it at great temps idle and good temps under gaming load. When rendering or benchmarking the temps get a bit high but I suppose that's to be expected with the ryzen 9 5950x.

Temps, Ease of Installation

I was looking to upgrade from my basic AMD CPU fan cooler and had always wanted to switch to liquid cooling. However, AIO coolers can be pretty expensive. After some research, I came across the SAMA SM360 AIO, which offers great performance at an affordable price. The installation was fairly simple, even for a beginner like me, but I recommend watching some installation videos to help clarify a few steps. There were moments when things werent entirely clear, but those extra videos helped me get everything set up.
