Review: Absolutely amazing product, worth every penny. - My PC has an i5-9400f, with an 8gb RTX 3060 Ti, and 32gb DDR4 RAM. I game at 1080P @ 60fps to match my monitor. This set up does that easily on ultra/epic settings with CPU temps (C) going from the mid 60s to low 70s, however, some modern games were pushing the CPU temperature up to the low to mid 80s and the stock fan is noisy and sounding a bit overworked at these temps. After installing the Dark Rock 5, the temps for even the most demanding of games now range between 58 to 61 - that's pretty damn impressive! And it adds no noticible extra noise. It's an absolutely amazing product, worth every penny. Installation on an Intel motherboard requires a support bracket to be fitted on the back of the motherboard first - this is the trickiest part, but if your case has a cut out to keep the back of the CPU area accessible (mine did, I'm pretty sure most do), and your cabling isn't in the way, this isn't too much bother. It's just a bit fiddly working on both sides of the motherbosrd at the same time and trying to line the screws up in the bracket so none of them end up angled in any way. Once that's on, the rest is easy: two more brakcets to fit on the front, a quick clean of the CPU with IPA and a cotton bud, re-apply the thermal paste (included), then fit the heat sink on the front brackets to cover the CPU (screwdriver included), and then just clip on the fan. It comes with clear image instructions of each step. It also comes with a magnetic cover to ensure it looks great in the case too. In short, if you want to massively reduce your CPU temp with negligible added noise, you can't go wrong with this product.
Review: Very quiet. I think this is the biggest CPU cooler I have ever seen... - I bought this as part of an upgrade - I will be cutting/pasting part of this post into the other reviews also. About the Fan: Things have come a long way from those little fans you screwed onto your CPU (that also broke down every so often!). This thing is huge. That said, everything runs very quiet even when I am playing high end games. Easy to assemble, seems to have good airflow (hence the low noise), fits nicely and comes with thermal paste (remember the thermal paste gets applied to the CPU and then the fan is fitted - dont apply the paste to the cooler first!). This is the set up I have and they all fit in the case and are compatible: Fractal Design Define 7 Black Brushed Aluminum/Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Mid Tower Computer Case AMD Ryzensets 7 7800X3D Processor with 3D V Cache technology (integrated Radeon Graphics, 8 cores/16 threads, 120W TDP, AM5 Socket, 104MB cache, up to 5.0 GHz max boost, no cooler) CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 AMD EXPO Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory – Grey (CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30) be quiet!

## Features

- Dark Rock Pro 5 features 7 high-performance copper heat pipes and a special black coating with ceramic particles. By that, this high-end CPU cooler achieves low temperatures even during periods of peak CPU performance in heavily overclocked systems.
- The 2 Silent Wings PWM fans feature advanced fluid-dynamic bearings, smooth 6-pole motors and airflow-optimized fan blades. The front fan provides extremely high air pressure, thanks to a funnel-shaped air inlet in the frame. The decoupled fan mounting with vibration-isolating elements on the heat sink reduces noise-generating turbulences even more.
- A Speed Switch allows you to choose between a Quiet Mode and a Performance Mode, each affecting the maximum fan speed. The Quiet Mode provides a maximum fan speed of up to 1500r/min and is the perfect choice for normal applications. The Performance Mode allows the Silent Wings fans to spin at up to 2000r/min and lets Dark Rock Pro 5 unfold his 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who needs an AIO?
*by A***Y on 31 December 2025*

Super quiet and incredibly effective, what more could you want? I was thinking to go with an AIO but I much prefer the simplicity of a CPU cooler. Although it’s size looks silly on a micro board, my CPU has never once gone above 61 degrees.
