Like the design and looks

This cooler is big, but for a reason ... It works! Easy setup .... excellent manual included Keeps CPU incredibly cool when gaming is hot Well engineered, well constructed Active fan aids heat draw, and eliminating Excellent thermal paste works great

Great, it has a 270 watt tdp and it looks cool


Runs beautifully for my budget build has zero problems gaming wise ( I mainly play rust which is a cpu heavy game)

-The lower pitched fans make the higher rpms more bearable. -All Black -I aint had no problem yet

Looks good for my blackout build. cools great, SUPER quite at FULL RPM.

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?

All black, really easy to install, using to cool a Ryzen 5 7600.

Easy to install Quiet Looks great


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

Keeping my CPU at a stable temp

Newest design working with Core 5 250K Plus. Straight forward design. Runs 30-35C home office, web browsing etc

-Quiet. This fan simply does not make noise even during burn in. -Well built. The fan, the fins, and the heat sink do not feel flimsy or cheap. -Easy to install. Never had a Noctua CPU cooler before but it was a breeze to install. Had it in under 10 minutes including reading the instructions. -Comes with primo thermal paste in a syringe. I hate pre-applied thermal paste so I may be biased here.

The cooler comes with easy to change CPU socket adapters. The fan is easy to attach/detach. It uses the same fan as the MSI AIO Radiators. (Good Fan)

- Cools my i5-10600K processor well. - Short height fits well in my Geeek A31 V2 Mini-ITX Case. - Decently quiet.

- great price on special - good quality - good looking - 5 cooling pipes - slim design - amazing packaging


-Great for somebody on a budget. -Cheap and looks great. - Great thermals over a stock AMD cooler
