be quiet! Dark Rock Elite (BK037)
 |
 |
A high-performance air super cooler for CPUs that combines outstanding cooling power, elegant design and virtually silent operation. In fact, this is one of the most powerful and advanced tower coolers in the brand's range. According to the manufacturer, the cooler is designed for owners of powerful and hot processors who do not want to mess around with liquid cooling systems, but strive to achieve maximum efficiency.
Dark Rock Elite has a dual-tower design and uses seven heat pipes to provide high cooling power. The radiator is made of aluminum and copper with a nickel-plated copper base, which guarantees the most efficient heat transfer. The device is equipped with two very quiet 135 mm Silent Wings fans with fluid dynamic bearings that support two cooling modes. In Performance mode, they can operate at speeds of up to 2000 rpm, and the noise level is approximately 26 dB.
In Silent Mode, the rotation speed is reduced to 1500 rpm, and the declared noise level is only 11 dB. The front fan mounting system allows for height adjustment, providing up to 71 mm of clearance above the second DIMM slot, allowing for the installation of memory modules with various heatsinks. However, some users complain about compatibility, so it is better to double-check all the dimensions of the components before purchasing. The kit includes mounts for Intel and AMD processors, which provides support for all modern desktop sockets. Information on compatibility with AMD HEDT sockets is not specified. The cooler cover with the be quiet! logo is illuminated with neat ARGB lighting with a variety of compatibility.

Competitor to dropsy
be quiet! Dark Rock Elite is an air supercooler with a stated TPD of 280 W, which is comparable to liquid cooling systems. It consists of two towers, through which seven tubes pass (in principle, it is impossible to fit more). The heat distribution plate is coated with nickel, which makes the cooler compatible not only with thermal paste, but also with liquid metal.
Pair of fans
It is blown by two proprietary be quiet! fans. Silent Wings with a diameter of 135 mm. The blades have aerodynamic grooves, the motor is six-pole, and the bearing is hydrodynamic. All this results in trouble-free operation of up to 300 thousand hours. The fans are mounted on rails, which simplifies their installation and allows them to be adjusted to the height of the RAM.
Control button
The cooler is covered with matte paint with ceramic inclusions, which promotes better heat dissipation. The top cover hides the ugly dusty ends of the tubes, is decorated with ARGB lighting and is equipped with a fan speed switch: quiet or maximum. In the first case, the noise level is generally inaudible 11 dB, and in the second - still moderate 26 dB.
