be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU Cooler, Black

The Dark Rock Pro 5 functions as a dual-tower air cooler engineered for demanding thermal environments, rated to manage processors generating up to 270W of Thermal Design Power (TDP). Effective heat dissipation relies on seven 6mm diameter copper heat pipes connecting the polished copper base plate to the dense array of black aluminum cooling fins. This robust material construction is designed to deliver stable operating temperatures and handle sustained high processor utilization efficiently.

Thermal management is supported by a dual-fan configuration, where both fans use a reliable Fluid Dynamic Bearing mechanism, contributing to an extensive Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 300,000 hours. The fans maintain acoustic performance while delivering necessary airflow, registering a maximum noise output of 23.3 dB at peak rotational speeds of 2000 RPM. Installation versatility is provided by included mounting hardware compatible with current Intel sockets, including LGA 1851 and 1700, alongside AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. The cooler stands 168 mm high, requiring confirmation of adequate case clearance.
