Amazing!
This thing is comedically large. While the size was surprising, the dark rock keeps my cpu cool through any games. I genuinely appreciate the oversized screwdriver included to mount the heat sink. This attention to detail has me considering BeQuiet! for additional products in the future.

Excellent product
Traditional and simple. Great quality and keeps the processor at a low temperature. Low noise.

Way better than expected
I had previously used an AIO on my last system which worked well, but was not a fan of the water hose getting in the way of my GPU, potential pump problems, and possible leaks. For my current build, I was fortunate enough to find a Ryzen 9800X3D CPU and paired that with a 7800XT GPU. I didn't spend a lot researching CPU cooler specs and performance, but saw the Dark Rock 5 on sale and gave it a try. Paired with the be quiet! Pure Base 500 FX ATX Mid Tower case with their included fans, my 9800X3D with standard voltage and timings routinely runs at about 45-60 degrees Celsius. When I ran Cinebench2024 with all the CPU cores maxed at 100% for 10 minutes, the CPU temperature was stable at 89-90C.

Great CPU cooler.
Great fan to be honest, fits my PC case, quiet for the most part, cools my ryzen 7 5700 below 35°C, great performance I’d say. Get it while it’s on sale though. One complaint is that it’s a bit hard to align to your cpu when installing it.

Extremely good single tower cooler
The media could not be loaded. I like to swap parts around just to keep things fresh. I shifted over to be quiet, got a case, this cooler and a few fans. I am extremely impressed with the cooler. The build quality is top of the line, the machining is perfect, the installation is easy, and the performance is unexpectedly good. A lot of emphasis is put on keeping cpu's as cold as possible, but when air cooling, there is nothing wrong with hitting peaks of 80c on modern procs. This cooler under gaming will get to 60-75c depending on the game's cpu requirements. In synthetic testing it will reach up to 80c, but those are pretty unrealistic loads. This is on an i7-14700k @ 215w locked. I really wanted a single tower cooler for this build. I have thermal right monster coolers, nzxt aio's but I just wanted a chonky single tower and I couldnt be happier with the looks, install and performance.

Great
Amazing thermals on a 5700x3D. Fit my fractal meshify case. Easy install.

Great cooler; Wonderful temps!
Installation was a breeze, and it's silent. My 5900x runs at 59C under load so far. Simply access the underside of the mobo to attach the plate to the screws and you're home free.
