    DARK ROCK 5

    BE QUIET! DARK ROCK 5 CPU Cooler

    EXTREME COOLING POWER

    With 6 high-performance copper heat pipes and a dense aluminum fin array, Dark Rock 5 offers robust cooling. A special black coating with ceramic particles enables perfect heat transfer from the heat sink to the air, keeping your system cool under the most intense workloads.

    SILENT WINGS PWM FAN

    The Silent Wings 4 120mm PWM fan features an advanced fluid-dynamic bearing, smooth 6-pole motor and airflow-optimized fan blades. Thanks to a tight tip clearance between fan blade and frame, the front fan provides extremely high air pressure. A funnel-shaped frame outlet enables ideal air distribution. The rubberized fan frame prevents vibrations from transferring to the heat sink, reducing overall noise.

    UNMATCHED COMPATIBILITY

    The Dark Rock 5's asymmetrical design and heat sink cut-outs increase RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly and enable limitless memory height. Optionally, a second fan can be installed at the exhaust for an extra performance boost, making Dark Rock 5 a versatile marvel.
