Characteristics
KEEP IT COOL AND QUIET
Semi-passive quiet and active performance modeDark Rock 6 raises the bar for silent cooling. Its mode switch lets you choose either active performance mode for advanced cooling power or semi-passive quiet mode, keeping the fan off below 40% PWM. Both modes ensure quiet and reliable performance in any workload.
HIGH COOLING POWER
Superior heat dissipationWith 6 optimized high-performance copper heat pipes and a dense aluminum fin array, Dark Rock 6 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.
SPECIAL SILENT WINGS 135MM PWM FAN
For high performance and virtually inaudible operationThe custom-designed Silent Wings 135mm PWM fan uses an advanced fluid-dynamic bearing, a smooth 6-pole motor and optimized blades. Thanks to the tight tip clearance, it boosts air pressure and improves the airflow.
UNMATCHED COMPATIBILITY
Designed for all kinds of RAM and VRM coolersDark Rock 6's asymmetrical design and heat sink cut-outs increase RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly and enable limitless memory height.
EASY MOUNTING
Installation is a breezeThanks to its convenient, preinstalled mounting bridge and a firm yet gentle fixing method, cooler attachment is a breeze. The fan uses an efficient rail system for mounting, so installation is easier than ever with Dark Rock 6.
ICONIC DESIGN
Aesthetics meet functionalityDark Rock 6 does not compromise on style. A magnetic top cover masks heat pipe ends and the screw hole. Side covers complete the sleek, clean signature be quiet! design for Dark Rock CPU air coolers.
COMPATIBLE WITH LIQUID METAL THERMAL GREASE
Cooling power beyond beliefThanks to a nickel-plated base, Dark Rock 6 is compatible with liquid metal thermal grease such as DC2 Pro. The properties of the liquid metal compound combined with Dark Rock 6 allow high-end CPUs to perform at even higher levels.
