be quiet! Dark Rock Elite Air CPU Cooler | 2X Silent Wings 135mm PWM Fans | Speed Switch with 2 Modes | High-Performance Heat Pipes | Front Fan Rail System | Enhanced RAM Compatibility | BK037

I want to start by saying I’ve tried just about everything—including full custom water cooling setups across multiple systems. This time around, I was looking for something more reliable, low-maintenance, and most importantly, quiet.One thing many people overlook with AIOs and water coolers is the noise. Between the fans and the pump, they can often get louder than expected. But with this cooler, it’s almost silent. It also features a switch between Quiet and Performance mode—I leave mine on the standard setting, and it handles everything flawlessly.I’m running a 7950X, which is known to run hot, and this cooler keeps it in the 50s under load. Even during intense gaming sessions, I’ve had no issues with overheating.The design is another highlight. The fan looks sleek and modern—especially in my blackout build with no RGB. The subtle LED ring on the cooler adds just the right touch of elegance without going overboard.Overall, it’s a super reliable cooler that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a no-fuss, efficient solution. It’s especially great if you’re on the AMD platform and want something that will handle future upgrades with ease.

I did a lot of research online before buying this. I wanted to downsize my computer from a super tower to the lian li o11 mini. Going from water cooled everything to air cooled everything. I put the thermal grizzly thermal plate on before putting this cooler on to get proper contact with the cpu. I am very impressed with the thermals, it’s very quiet and if not quieter than a water pump on silent. I am very pleased to break this in and and see what else she can do. I did have to buy lower profile ram to fit into my case, but will say love the ease of the front fan moving up and down on a slider. Quality is very well and looks beast in the new case.

I recently upgraded to the be quiet! Dark Rock Elite Air CPU Cooler, and I'm thoroughly impressed with its performance. One thing to note is that you should ensure your RAM isn't too tall, as it may not fit with this cooler installed. I had to replace my existing RAM with Corsair Vengeance modules, which were significantly shorter. While RGB RAM may be tempting, it's not worth the extra cost, as you won't see it with this cooler installed.However, the be quiet! Dark Rock Elite Air has been a game-changer for me. It's incredibly quiet, even during intense gaming sessions. The cooling performance is top-notch, and the design makes it easy to clean – the fans can be slid in and out without any tools, which is a fantastic feature.Overall, I highly recommend this CPU cooler to anyone looking for a quiet and effective solution. It's been a great investment, and I'm confident you won't regret it.

This fan surprised me a lot. First it’s size, then it’s fans, finally it’s coolness! This cube is very capable as it is able to cool my i7-14700KF very easily. It’s very quiet unless you’re doing very intense gaming like Minecraft with rtx on and 32 view distance. My only gripe is to make sure to push the removable fan in once you’ve got it installed as mine kept falling out and I was just a little silly. Other than my own personal experience this fan is perfect!

I had to return the first one I received, because the box arrived open, the cooler was obviously used, and screws were scattered throughout the box with a lot of parts missing. I sent it back and the second arrived as it should have. Everything works perfectly. This is a fantastic design...the outside fan that goes over the RAM is on a rail that can raise or lower to make room as necessary. Thermals are very good as well (9800X3D). This beats the last AIO water cooler I had in performance.

I had a AIO COOLER that died and this COOLER was better than it. Videos online were very simple and easy to follow. Great product.

This is cooling a i9-12900K, under extreme load with Aida 64 it peaks at 72c. The cooler itself is high quality, the machining is perfect. It is a big cooler so you need to pay attention to ram clearance.I replaced a 240MM AIO with this and it is much quieter and performs much better.Bequiet has done a great job with this one!

Great Cooler. Very effective, and looks great in the case.Just dont underestimate the size. I have a Fractal Torrent case and only have about 2in of vertical clearance with my side panel.
