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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

It should be borne in mind that the cooler is large and tall, it will not fit in narrow cases. In my case, from the cooler casing to the glass, it is about a finger wide, while the maximum height of the cooler for this case is 190mm.

Pros
  • A healthy monster that occupies all the space above the processor. It cools well, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X dangles about 30 degrees in idle, under load (tested on Keyshot 10, all cores) barely crawls up to 70 on bus. Included is a high-quality screwdriver with a magnetic head (without which, unfortunately, the installation will not be so easy, so it's better not to lose it). The installation is simple, if you put a tower on the processor at least once. The kit comes with very good thermal paste and very quiet 140mm fans, which are hard to hear in idle.
Cons
  • The price can bite, but with a competent search you can find it for ~ 6800 (don't take into account , which I can't stand). However, such cooling comes at a cost. In fact - an analogue of a closed water system such as h115 from Corsair and the like or D15 from Noctua. It may not pull hot stones from Intel in overclocking (10850k and higher), I haven’t tested it myself, but reviews on the Internet and heat dissipation tests speak for themselves.
