Description

Dark Rock Pro 5 features 7 high-performance copper heat pipes and a special black coating with ceramic particles. As a result, this high-end cooler keeps your CPU at peak performance at all times, even in heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations. The 2 Silent Wings PWM fans feature advanced fluid-dynamic bearings, smooth 6-pole motors 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. A Speed Switch allows you to choose between 2 modes, each affecting the maximum fan speed and PWM curve. The Quiet Mode provides a maximum fan speed of up to 1500rpm and is the perfect choice for normal applications. The Performance Mode allows the Silent Wings fans to spin with up to 2000rpm and unleashes Dark Rock Pro 5’s full power. Thanks to clever features, the installation concept is simple and elegant. The detachable mesh top cover with integrated middle fan is inserted from above. A completely black mounting kit with pre-installed mounting bridge and fixing screws matches the black design of the cooler perfectly. Dark Rock coolers have been renowned for their distinctive design for many years. Dark Rock Pro 5 respectively follows this design and can be recognized as a Dark Rock immediately. Nonetheless, Dark Rock Pro 5 adds own accents to the rich history of be quiet! high-end coolers. Thanks to a nickel-plated base, Dark Rock Pro 5 is compatible with liquid metal thermal grease such as DC2 Pro. The properties of liquid metal compound combined with Dark Rock Pro 5 allow high-end CPUs to perform at even higher levels.

    • Better Than AIO – Cool, Quiet, and Built to Last
Size: Dual Tower Style: Dark Rock Pro 5
Running the Dark Rock Pro 5 paired with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K. After nearly 10 years on AIOs—cycling through 3–4 units due to pump failures or leaks—I decided to switch back to air cooling, and I’m glad I did. This cooler outperforms my previous 240mm AIO in every way: lower temps, quieter operation, and far less hassle. With a minor undervolt, temps stay under 78°C during stress testing and idle around 38°C, evenly across all cores. Under normal use and gaming sessions, it doesn’t break 60°C. If a fan ever fails, it’s a quick swap—not a full teardown like with an AIO. Build quality is excellent, and it looks great in the case. Installation was smooth, and it fits perfectly on LGA1851. If you want reliable, top-tier air cooling with better thermals and long-term peace of mind, this is the one to get. ... show more

    • Wonderful CPU Cooler
Size: Dual Tower Style: Dark Rock Pro 5
Review Image by KGB
The Dark Rock Pro 5 was used for two builds based on the Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 motherboard. One build went in a new Corsair Frame 4000D ATX Mid Tower case, the other in a Cooler Master Cosmos 1000 case from 2007. The CPU in both builds is the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, a 120W part for which this 270W cooler has plenty of capacity. A middle fan sits between two radiators, covered by a plate bearing the be quiet! logo that is held in place with magnets. Underneath the cover plate is a Q/P switch that allows the cooler to run in Quiet or Performance mode. The fan wiring allows the two fans to be daisy chained and connected to a single CPU_FAN header that is typically located just above the CPU socket on the motherboard. Hardware is included with the cooler that supports Intel 1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151 and 1155 sockets, and AMD AM4 and AM5 sockets. The directions were clear and installation was very easy. The cooler seems to have enough capacity relative to a 120W CPU that the fans tends to stay at low RPM and are inaudible, and it really looks great on a black motherboard in a black case. The Dark Rock Pro 5 is a high quality, well designed and manufactured CPU cooler that should run for a long time. ... show more

Seems to work great. I had used liquid cooled before this and this seems to work just fine. Everyone once I a while I’ll hear the fan spin up but mostly it’s really quiet. It fit in my case well the black color keeps it pretty hidden in my dark case. I’ve had no concerns with my CPU temp. Using with Ana AMD 9900x ... show more

This is a beefy CPU cooler coming in at 168mm tall. The installation process is easy and simple, a screwdriver is supplied in the box along with thermal paste. Mounting this on my Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE was not an issue at all. The mounting kit is one of the best I have used. Once installed, it quiet and provides great airflow in my A3-case. The Dark Rock Pro 5 will fit into a Lian Li A3 case with no problems as seen in the pictures. Overall, I am very satisfied with the cooling and performace of the CPU cooler. I'm using it on a AMD 9800x3d CPU and it easily keeps it under 62C on average gaming. I don't rely on stress test because they do not represent real word usage. When I am idle my CPU hovers between 29 - 35C. Playing GPU intensive games with my 9070XT dumping some heat out pushes the CPU to around 68C to 72C in long game play sessions. ... show more

    • Incredibly effective CPU Cooler at a mid-range price.

Review Image by Carlos Canales
Quite possibly one of the most effective mid-range CPU coolers I've ever used. This would probably serve you better than a Noctua Tower cooler, which tend to be almost double the price. It keeps my Core Ultra 9 285k nice and cool during Shader Caching in games and stays at around 60c while gaming. It's more effective than I thought it would be and it isn't too difficult to install. However, I used the thermal grizzly kryonaut Thermal solution rather than the included thermal paste so that may have something to do with the temps I got. Your results will vary if you used the included paste. Be warned though, the O-rings for this cooler tend to disappear... and cause you to search for hours it in your room. Do NOT let those O-rings out of your sight! It was like finding a needle in a haystack! Outside of that pet peeve, installation was a breeze and not too shabby. ... show more

    • A beast at cooling, loudly
Size: Dual Tower Style: Dark Rock Pro 5

I completed my PC build on April 26th and had no problem installing this cooler. Instructions were pretty clear and it took maybe 5 minutes to mount it on my MB. Fits like a glove, and the heatsink is well made, quality aluminum. My CPU is a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, and here's what I can say with about 5 days of usage: Pros: Temps at idle stay nearly exactly at 40C, though I do have a very well ventilated case. Under 87% load (the highest I've ever gotten it at consistently without benchmarking) the highest temp I got was 83C, which is excellent for this CPU. It responds well to the BIOS fan curve and never allows overheating. Cons: Performance mode vs Quiet mode are, well, identical. I've even checked the fan speeds after switching profile types, and they do not change. Of course, if you're using a beefy heatsink like this you most likely have high-tier parts and are expecting *some* noise, but this is just a tad bit louder than necessary. There is also no software to control it, and though you CAN control it through the BIOS, you can't fine tune it with software. Or at least, it hasn't responded to any softwares I've tried. Overall it's a heavy duty, powerful CPU fan that performs well. Be prepared for it to be decently loud however. ... show more

It keeps my i7 12700k very cool at idle and gaming. Full load temps peak at 75c and very stable ( image 2 is idle ) It’s a beefy cooler so make sure your case CPU Cooler height is at least 180mm It’s truly fascinating how much air it can move whilst staying so quiet Personally I think it looks nicer than the equivalent Noctuas 5 out of 5 stars. Much quieter than my old aio, as I leave my PC on 24/7 I want both reliability and low noise floor. ... show more

    • The last cooler I'll need
Size: Dual Tower Style: Dark Rock Pro 5
Cool, quiet, hyper effective. The design is nifty and fits together flawlessly. It's easy to disassemble and clean. My 9800x3d sits in the 60-70 temp range during high intensity gaming. However, there are more factors at work than just the cooler.
