Be Quiet! Dark Rock 3 LGA755/1150/1155/1156/1366/2011/AM2/AM2+/AM3/AM3+/FM1/FM2/ CPU Heatsink

This thing is quiet. Virtually Silent. I love it... i'm coming from a Nepton 280L that had a Noisy Whining Pump, and the Dark Rock 3 blows it out of the water in terms of Noise. I'll stick to air cooling going forward. Would buy again.

I Overclocked my AMD FX-6300 to 4.5Ghz with load temperatures at around 65 degrees. Looks very nice with a good cooling performance for the price i got it.

I have been using this Be Quiet Dark rock for just over a year on a M5 board with a AMD 1055t over clocked to 3.830ghz. I have never seen Temps go over 48c in a Zalman Z2 plus case.The only thing is this cooler is tall. Maybe 1/4 of clearance between the top of cooler and the side cover.For the price you can't go wrong.

Overclocked my i5 4690K to 4.5 GHz with idle temperatures b ~30 degrees Celsius and ~70 degrees Celsius load. Looks great and silent. I bought it for $50 on sale. I don't regret buying this.

I got it on sale for $58.99 (including shipping). Great cooler for a great price. Looks really nice in my Vengeance C70 (Black) case. I am very happy with this purchase.

i bought this smaller cooler over the large dual fan pro since i did not want to overhand my ram sticks as i have corsair dominator. all the picture must show intel install blowing to the rear exhaust. AMD BLOWS TO THE TOP of case instead ( and no you can not rotate cooler just installs one way. so guess what, i could have fit the larger cooler for the 5 buck differnce with 2 fans!!! cooler nice, install specs stink. since no reviews i will make note for other to avoid pitfall. essentially amd owners the with is only 1mm difference

Overall this cooler is definitely worth the price I paid during it's sale ($70) and for that price I would definitely recommend it. It is as efficient as my Corsair H50 and produces roughly 30% less noise while delivering the same performance as one of the original self-enclosed watercooling options corsair launched years back.I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to build a silent PC build as it is inaudible in my Fractal Design Define R4.The only issue I had with it was the mounting, it's because of my RAM's height but I fixed that issue by ripping the heat spreaders off of my Corsair Vengeance set of RAM.

If you are looking for an air cooler that will keep your cpu cool and look good doing it, while staying silent get this cooler. I am an absolute Be Quiet! fanboy now.

A nice CPU cooler with a sleek looking black nickel finish. Fan is extremely quiet at full speed, near silent. Mounting mechanism could be better.

Great Heatsink, I did swap out the stock fan for a higher rpm static pressure fan. Love the look! Only thing I did not like is the heatsink does not come with another set of mounting brackets for a second fan.

One of the best looking air coolers you will ever see. it looks so nice with its brushed metallic finish and all black design with contoured radiator fins. It runs super quiet, really lives up to the name. I installed this in a Fractal Design Define R4 Windowed case and replaced the case fans with Corsair SP and AF Quiet edition fans, my machine runs sooooo quiet I can't even tell its on. I highly recommend this. It performs great, I have an i7 3770k overclocked to 4.4ghz and I'm getting Idle temps of 27°C and under load 67°C. If you want a sexy all black cooler that installs incredibly easily and runs crazy quiet and keeps your CPU nice and cool then look no further, I'm super happy with it. replaced my old Corsair H60 which was just too loud for me as I was trying to silence optimize my rig.
