be quiet! recently released two new CPU coolers, the Dark Rock Pro 5 and the Dark Rock Elite. Today we will be taking a look at the Dark Rock Pro 5. be quiet’s Dark Rock Pro coolers have been their top of the line CPU coolers and I’ve been very interested to see what this range of coolers can do as we haven’t taken a look at a Dark Rock Pro cooler in quite a while. The Dark Rock Pro 5 features a dual-tower, dual-fan design with be quiet’s own Silent Wings PWM fans, 7 heatpipes, and even a speed switch built into the cooler. Can this cooler compete with the high-end coolers currently at the top of our test results? Read on as we find out!

Special thanks to be quiet! for providing us with the Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU Cooler to review.
