Product details

The Dark Rock Pro 5 has 7 high-performance copper heatpipes and a special black coating with ceramic particles. The 2 Silent Wings PWM fans are equipped with durable Fluid Dynamic bearings, smooth-running
6-pole motors and airflow-optimised fan blades. A speed switch allows you to choose between 2 modes, each of which affects the maximum speed and the 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 rotate at up to 2000 rpm and unleashes the full power of the Dark Rock Pro 5. The removable mesh cover with integrated centre fan is inserted from above. A completely black mounting kit with pre-installed mounting bridge and fastening screws perfectly matches the black design of the cooler. Thanks to a nickel-plated cooling plate, the Dark Rock Pro 5 is compatible with liquid metal thermal compound such as the DC2 Pro. The properties of the liquid metal compound in combination with the Dark Rock Pro 5 enable high-end CPUs to achieve even higher performance.
