Be Quiet Dark Rock 5 High-End CPU Air Cooler 210W TDP 6 Heat Pipes Silent Wings 4 PWM Fan Black – BK035

Unleashed Performance and Exceptional Compatibility

The be quiet! Dark Rock 5 represents the ultimate compact embodiment of high-end thermal engineering and uncompromising component compatibility. Engineered specifically for passionate gamers, overclockers, and demanding PC builders, this advanced CPU air cooler combines whisper-quiet acoustics with formidable cooling capacity. Rated to handle up to an impressive 210W TDP, it ensures your processor maintains optimal thermal thresholds even under sustained, heavy gaming workloads without missing a beat.

Advanced Six Heat Pipe Thermal Architecture

At the core of the Dark Rock 5’s superior heat dissipation capability are six advanced high-performance copper heat pipes paired with a dense, precision-crafted aluminum fin array. The base material consists of pure copper featuring a CNC-machined CPU contact surface optimized for maximum thermal transfer efficiency and compatibility with liquid metal thermal interface compounds. A specialized black coating infused with ceramic particles not only delivers an elegant, stealthy aesthetic look but actively enhances thermal radiation transfer, ensuring heat is rapidly pulled away from your high-performance CPU.

Silent Wings 4 PWM Fan Engineering

Acoustic excellence is achieved through the inclusion of the legendary Silent Wings 4 120mm PWM fan. Operating at speeds up to 2100 RPM, this premium fan delivers a remarkable airflow of 55.0 CFM and a robust static pressure of 2.73 mm H₂O. It utilizes an advanced Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) and a smooth 6-pole fan motor designed for extraordinary longevity, boasting an exceptional lifespan of up to 300,000 hours at 25°C. The tight tip clearance and funnel-shaped frame outlet optimize air distribution while rubberized anti-vibration mountings prevent unwanted resonance from transferring to the heatsink, resulting in a virtually inaudible maximum noise level of only 29.8 dB(A).

Unrivaled Motherboard and RAM Compatibility

System builders frequently face clearance hurdles with bulky high-end air coolers, but the Dark Rock 5 solves this through a meticulously engineered asymmetrical design complemented by specialized cut-outs on the heatsink fin stack. This clever geometry guarantees high clearance compatibility with tall RAM modules and complex motherboard VRM coolers across modern desktop platforms. Furthermore, the cooler features a preinstalled mounting bridge and includes a long neck screwdriver, ensuring effortless, hassle-free installation straight out of the box. For extreme cooling setups, users also have the flexibility to optionally install a second fan at the exhaust side.

Broad Socket Support and Comprehensive Quality

Designed for broad versatility across current and next-generation desktop ecosystems, the Dark Rock 5 provides out-of-the-box mounting support for Intel sockets including LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, and 1155, alongside AMD sockets including AM5 and AM4. Certified to meet rigorous international safety standards including CE, UKCA, UL, and TÜV, and fully compliant with RoHS and WEEE environmental directives, this cooler reflects be quiet!’s unyielding commitment to ecological responsibility and top-tier reliability backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
