"Very Quiet, Very big"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It is a very big fan to get into a case, make sure you have enough clearance with all parts, especially memory.

That being said, it is very quiet – my computer is completely silent now and temps have dropped a good 10–15C.

Looks great in the case too, very happy with purchase.

"Great price/performance air cooler"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I decided to go with the Dark Rock Pro 3 as opposed to an AIO water cooler as I was concerned about potential pump noises. I am not dissapointed with this cooler; it performs well, looks great, and is nice and quiet. Max rpm on this is less noisy than 50% rpm on my aftermarket GTX 1070. Two things to note: 1) This cooler is HUGE, make sure to choose low profile ram or you will find this out the hard way… (sorry no Corsair Dominator Platinum!). 2) Be sure to mount the CPU cooler on the motherboard before mounting in the case.

Description

No Compromise Silence and Performance

Be Quite! Dark Rock™ CPU coolers have long been category leaders, and now the significantly upgraded Dark Rock Pro 3 is even more powerful. This virtually inaudible double-tower CPU cooler puts famous be quiet! SilentWings® technology in your PC where it really counts. They are excellent for overclocked systems and demanding multi-graphics platforms.

Dark Rock Pro 3 offers top performance-to-noise ratio and the highest reliability available. Improved cooling efficiency (250W TDP) and really silent operation (only 26.1dB(A) at maximum speed) mean this cooler strikes the perfect balance between cooling and serenity —truly silence and performance without compromises.

  • Improved dynamic wave-contour cooling fins with small dots on the surface increase air circulation and contribute to high convection efficiency without raising overall noise
  • Enhanced double-tower layout offers reduced weight and enables high cooling power
  • Support of additional 120mm fan for extreme cooling performance (free fan clips are included in the scope of delivery)
  • Seven high-performance heat pipes with copper lining and aluminum caps carry heat to the optimal location on the cooling fins, maximizing heat conductance
  • The immensely high cooling capacity of 250W TDP offers low temperature even at peak performance
  • New arrangement of heat pipes enhances the cooling capability
  • Two SilentWings® PWM fans (front: 120mm, inner: 135mm) with advanced copper core fluid dynamic bearing and dynamically-balanced impeller provide optimal cooling with deep serenity
  • Inner 135mm SilentWings® PWM fan features nine airflow-optimized fan blades and an innovative 6-pole motor for smoother operation and less vibration
  • Decoupled fan mount with vibration-isolating elements on the heat sink
  • Noise is at scant 26.1dB(A) even at 100% PWM function
