Characteristics
IMMENSE COOLING POWER
Even with heavily overclocked systemsDark 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.
SILENT WINGS PWM FANS
For virtually inaudible operationThe 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.
SPEED SWITCH
Make it the cooler you needA 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.
CONVENIENT HANDLING
Installation is a breezeThanks 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.
ICONIC DESIGN
Undisputed in form and functionDark 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.
COMPATIBLE WITH LIQUID METAL THERMAL GREASE
Cooling power beyond beliefThanks 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.
"Dark Rock Pro 5 proves how versatile the be quiet! brand is. Through its 2 modes, Dark Rock Pro 5 is capable of both maximum performance and virtually inaudible operation. This high-end masterpiece is the reason we get up every morning."
