Product details

The Dark Rock Pro 5 features seven high-performance copper heat pipes and a special black coating with ceramic particles. The two Silent Wings PWM fans are equipped with durable fluid-dynamic bearings, quiet 6-pole motors, and airflow-optimized fan blades. With a speed switch, you can choose between two modes, each affecting the maximum speed and PWM curve. The "Quiet" mode offers a maximum fan speed of up to 1500 RPM and is the perfect choice for everyday applications. The "Performance" mode allows the Silent Wings fans to spin at up to 2000 RPM, unleashing the full power of the Dark Rock Pro 5. The removable mesh cover with an integrated middle fan is installed from the top. A completely black mounting kit with a pre-installed mounting bridge and screws perfectly matches the cooler's black design. Thanks to a nickel-plated cooling plate, the Dark Rock Pro 5 is compatible with liquid metal thermal paste like the DC2 Pro. The properties of the liquid metal compound combined with the Dark Rock Pro 5 enable high-end CPUs to achieve even higher performance.
