Style: Dark Rock 5


Features

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Installation is easier than ever with the Dark Rock 5. Thanks to its convenient, preinstalled mounting bridge and a firm yet gentle fixing method, cooler attachment is a breeze. To sweeten the deal, a long-neck screwdriver is included in the scope of delivery.
  • Dark Rock 5 does not compromise on style. A magnetic mesh top cover masks heat pipe ends and the screw hole, providing a sleek, clean design as Dark Rock 5 cools your CPU.

  • Cool, quite and sexy.
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
It is quite. It cools like a snow beast on the frozen tundra. And is a sexy all black monster that fits in my M-ATX case. Happy little home server runs much better now.

  • Always research the correct cooler for your motherboard
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
The package contains everything you need in order to mount it to your motherboard. Both Intel and AMD brackets are included, along with a bit of thermal paste. I opted for Arctic MX-6 paste instead. While $60 felt a bit much, the fan is a bit quieter than my last four pipe air cooler and keeps the CPU cooler. It's worth the money spent. Previously my temps were borderline too high. After a re-paste and new cooler, I now idle at about 32C. Previously I would idle in the upper 40s. My only complaint is the fan cable. Took a bit of finesse to get it plugged into my motherboard after clipping it in. ... show more

  • Just about perfect for a Ryzen 9700x.
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
This cooler does a great job cooling my 9700x CPU, even during gaming. My last cooler was a Dark Rock Pro 4 for a 10850k system, and it also did great but was bulky. The Dark Rock 5 (non pro) is a lot less bulky and looks better imho. Comes with extra clips if you want to add another fan, but I'm not seeing any need for it at this point. Just be sure your case has good air flow. The install was simple and straight forward, the included long screw driver is key. ... show more

  • Extremely good single tower cooler
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
I like to swap parts around just to keep things fresh. I shifted over to be quiet, got a case, this cooler and a few fans. I am extremely impressed with the cooler. The build quality is top of the line, the machining is perfect, the installation is easy, and the performance is unexpectedly good. A lot of emphasis is put on keeping cpu's as cold as possible, but when air cooling, there is nothing wrong with hitting peaks of 80c on modern procs. This cooler under gaming will get to 60-75c depending on the game's cpu requirements. In synthetic testing it will reach up to 80c, but those are pretty unrealistic loads. This is on an i7-14700k @ 215w locked. I really wanted a single tower cooler for this build. I have thermal right monster coolers, nzxt aio's but I just wanted a chonky single tower and I couldnt be happier with the looks, install and performance. ... show more

  • Tricky to mount but powerful
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
First time installing a higher end GPU in 8+ years and found this cooler a little intimidating but it works great and it is even quieter than my last smaller fan.

  • Dark Rock 5 cooler
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to give this product a 5-star rating because I’ve been amazed by the CPU temperatures I’ve experienced. For the price of this cooler, you won’t find better value.

  • Great CPU cooler.
Size: Single Tower Style: Dark Rock 5
Great fan to be honest, fits my PC case, quiet for the most part, cools my ryzen 7 5700 below 35°C, great performance I’d say. Get it while it’s on sale though. One complaint is that it’s a bit hard to align to your cpu when installing it.
