be quiet! Dark Rock 5 (BK035)

The fifth integration of the popular tower cooler from the premium Dark Rock line, which the German manufacturer Be Quiet decided to slightly reduce the cost, making it closer to ordinary people. Like the fourth version, Dark Rock 5 is a massive tower with a classic U-shaped layout of six heat pipes (6 mm), a large single-section radiator and a proprietary 120 mm. It stands out for its impressive power (up to 210 W) and dimensions (height 161 mm, weight just over 1 kg) and is designed for full-size assemblies in spacious cases, where all the elements can be located more freely, without interfering with each other.

The be quiet! Dark Rock 5 radiator consists of a copper nickel-plated base, six heat pipes with a diameter of 6 mm and a section of aluminum plates. The asymmetrical design and cutouts for the radiator provide more space around it for memory modules, as well as the ability to install a second fan on the exhaust side for additional cooling efficiency. The 120mm Silent Wings 4 fan with PWM control and maximum acceleration of up to 2100 rpm is responsible for active cooling of the system. Thanks to the combination of a quiet 6-pole motor, optimized fan blades and a hydrodynamic bearing, the manufacturer promises high performance and virtually silent operation with a peak indicator of no more than 30 dB. The list of supported platforms includes Intel LGA115x, LGA1200, LGA1700, AMD AM4 and AM5.
