Type of review

I don't want to put water on principle. Huge coolers are also not to their liking. I'll do an experiment. I'll set it to 13600k (ventilated body, good thermal, proc warp corrector, maybe undervolt. Then I'll post the result

Pros
  • Efficient, compact, high quality
Cons
  • Not ideally even base, slightly convex in the middle

Great product, a pleasure to use.

If you have the money, it's definitely worth it. The thing is made carefully - the difference with the towers for 2 thousand is immediately noticeable. Small wrench included. TDP cooler 160 watts, not 180 - it's written even on the box. Check the height of the cooler with the width of your case so that it does not rest against the side window.

Pros
  • flat ground Oddly enough, a convenient installation, at least for 2022v3 with a color-coded walkthrough Does not overlap memory slots Quiet fan In the stress test of Cinebench R20 with Xeon E5 2678v3 core temperatures ranged from 44 to 51 degrees at a consumption of 110 watts
Cons
  • The price is, to put it mildly, high. Small parts are very easy to lose - the previous owner sowed the fastening nuts - they fit the M5 type in a hardware store (50 kopecks apiece).

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

The cooler handles the i7-9700 just fine. These are Germans. The only thing I find fault with is the software, Aida shows the temperature is higher than the utility from gigabyte

Pros
  • Well cools 9700, does not make noise, looks beautiful.
Cons
  • Not revealed.

Best price for this product, will buy more!

I will not paint, because everything has been described in detail here. Therefore, I agree with all buyers. And most importantly! You can't hear it at all! He is worth his money. And do not look for any express trains and other rubbish.

I don’t know why, people buy “towers” ​​per kilogram in weight . Most likely in order to arrange all sorts of tests and overclocking records torturing the hardware. My Be Quiet! Dark Rock Slim, cools i7 8700 in old IN WIN S523 top case, BeQuiet power supply! Pure Power 11-CM 500W and no problems with overheating, and even more so with throttling and blue screens. All the time there is a feeling that the system does not work and something happened to it. Straight, some kind of paranoia, at first

Pros
  • "Deathly silence", effective CPU cooling up to 95 W TDP, "Brutal beauty".
Cons
  • Expensive! But you forget about it when you don’t hear what you bought .

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

In general, excellent cooling, I definitely recommend it. Before that, dark rock 4 was thicker, the same did just fine. I definitely recommend. Has pros: - Silent (not counting the full load, but even there the noise is pleasant, not high-frequency) - Dissipates heat well - Stylish and effective looks Different cons: - On a mini-itx motherboard, on the reverse side, the mount touches the antennae of the conders. I had to bend them. A trifle, but not pleasant. It also puts a little pressure on a

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Posted 2 years ago. Cools well, quiet. It has the ability to install a second cooler (I installed it myself, because I have a scalped 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz). It supports the LGA 1200 socket and the manufacturer promises to send a mounting kit for the LGA 1700 socket for free, which is extremely pleasing. Don't feel sorry for a single invested in this cooler, it will serve for a very, very long time.

Pros
  • Quality, silence, compactness
Cons
  • There is no special platform on the back side of the radiator for installing a second cooler (you have to use rubber spacers from the additional cooler kit)

Think twice before buying this product.

Rating 2 for the most part due to ignoring technical support. If they answered, then it would be 4. If they also suggested something adequate, then naturally 5, because. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the cooler at all. With its pros: Great cooler! The temperature of the Core i5-9500 under constant 100% load in a closed case does not rise above 60 degrees. At the same time, the increase in the number of revolutions of the cooler itself is completely inaudible (again, in a closed…

Put it on Intel Core i5-8600. The temperature immediately dropped by 10 degrees at minimum speed. It's around 300 rpm. On the boxed cooler in games, the temperature was around 75-80 degrees. And the fan growled like a locomotive. Now it is not higher than 60. In addition, I installed a second be quiet! SILENT WINGS 3 [BL066] is the same as the cooler kit. It may be of no use to him, but it looks like a more finished product.

Pros
  • He's really quiet. Even at maximum speed. Bomb look. Memory does not overlap. Precisely fits into the body of the AeroCool Aero-1000. There is about 1 cm left to cover. There is a detailed installation video on the YouTube channel be quiet! Braided wires.
Cons
  • The price is not a drawback. Quality must cost money. Native pasta "not very". Bought be quiet! DC1. There are no instructions in 2022.
