Review on 🌬️ Silent Cooling Power: Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler with 250W TDP, BK022 by Jnis Anmanis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

Important info. for the owners of not some kind of Intel Core i7, the latest and supposedly warm, but more for the enthusiasts from the ''red'' team, I'm talking about AMD, especially those who use furnace stones like the FX 9370 and FX 9590. Following the thought, I'm telling my story. Asus Crosshair V Formula Z mother, AMD FX 9370 gem (Arctic MX4 paste), Corsair Vengeance 2x8 GB RAM, Sapphire R9 290X video - 2 pcs (CrossfireX), Aerocool 1100W power supply, all this stuffed into Aerocool Xpredator Evil Blue PGS- B , on the side cover 4 Deepcool 140mm valves, back and bottom Deepcool 140mm. In general, such specs are so that people have an idea of ​​​​how I was preparing to use the 9370 stone and everything else in peace, harmony and understanding between the rest of the pieces of iron. Before buying Rock PRO 4, there was CBO or ZHIZHA if you like . It was called Deepcool Maelstrom 240. Zhizha stood at 9370 for about 3 years and unexpectedly, but expected)) leaked) A leak in the pump itself and on the hoses flooded one of the vidya, the benefit of timely cleaning with alcohol and drying, and now Vidyakh is back in service. Speaking about the temperature . In idle time on Zhizhe, the temperature fluctuated around 52-58 degrees, in loads (different games) 75-85 degrees. Perhaps more. But this is no longer so important, since after a leak it was to be disposed of with the preservation of unnecessary 2x120mm valves and a set of fasteners. The long way of selecting Air and Goo has come to an end. A lot can be said, a lot can be discussed and argued on the topic that bad fluid and bad cheap air and fluid is better and air is worse, but the very fact that after installing the Rock PRO 4 cooler, the temp. in idle time it turned out to be surprisingly low, namely, almost 15 degrees (full idle time) with the lid closed - it cannot but rejoice. Fluctuation: idle -38, avg. load - 45-47, compared to liquid cooling: idle 52-55, avg. load 60-68. Something to think about.)

Pros
  • Quite large, heavy . This inspires confidence . I will attribute it more to wealth. Made very high quality and the radiator and the valves themselves. Installation instructions in many languages ​​​​and, to my surprise, in RUSSIAN, which cannot but rejoice, although this can and should be expected!) As for the instructions, it is comparable to the current Ikea, everything is clearly and competently painted and the completeness and installation methods different processors. The box looks stylish and brutal, just like the cooler itself. Even a decent quality screwdriver with the Be Quiet logo was included with the rest of the components, which is undoubtedly a plus. Silent operation! He is not heard at all!
Cons
  • It's quite hard to talk about the disadvantages. The price? I don't think this product is worth the money. Dimensions? Yes . Such a giant will not climb into every building, keep this in mind. I will probably attribute the presence in stores to the disadvantages . It is rare and not everywhere you can buy it. Also, for reference, RAMs with very tall heatsinks will interfere with this CPU cooler.
