The Dark Rock Pro 5 cooler is also equipped with seven heat pipes and two Silent Wings PWM fans. The fans are of different sizes, the front one has a diameter of 120 mm, the inner one is 135 mm.
Equipped with an operating mode switch. In performance mode, the 120mm fan rotates at speeds of up to 2000 rpm, and the 135mm fan rotates at up to 1700 rpm. In quiet mode, the front fan operates at up to 1500 rpm, and the internal fan at up to 1300 rpm.

High-performance tower cooler from the well-known German manufacturer Be Quiet, designed for demanding users who seek reliable CPU cooling with minimal noise levels. This cooler is an excellent solution for creating quiet and powerful systems, providing high cooling efficiency (TDP 270W) with low noise levels. The Dark Rock Pro 5 is equipped with a massive heatsink that includes seven copper heat pipes with a diameter of 6 mm, distributed across the surface of the heatsink.

The heat pipes effectively dissipate heat from the CPU, ensuring excellent heat dissipation and stable system operation even when overclocking flagship processors with 10 or more cores. The heatsink is complemented by two Silent Wings series fans of different sizes (front 120 mm, inner 135 mm), capable of operating at speeds up to 2000 RPM, providing an airflow up to 50.5 CFM with a noise level not exceeding 23 dB.

For comparison, most classic towers with a much lower thermal package generate noise levels ranging from 27 to 33 dB. Additional adjustment is provided by a switch that allows toggling between performance and quiet operation modes. In the former mode, one fan rotates at 2000 RPM, and the other up to 1700 RPM. In quiet mode, the speed decreases to 1300-1500 RPM. The cooler, as traditionally, is equipped with a set of mounts for installation on motherboards with AMD AM4, AM5, and Intel LGA 1150, 1155/1156, 1151/1151 v2, 1200, 1700 processor sockets.
