be quiet! Dark Rock 3 Silent Wings CPU Cooler Review

news · February 5, 2014

I've been looking forward to testing this product ever since we got

back from CES 2014 where we got our first look at the latest range of

be quiet! CPU coolers that will be hitting the market this year. The

first one we'll be taking a look at is their Dark Rock 3, which comes

fitted with their Silent Wings fans and if the previous products we've

seen from be quiet! are anything to go by, this one should be pretty

special. As you may or may not know, the Dark Rock range is easily one

of the best ranges of CPU coolers on the market and while most be

quiet! products often comes with a premium price tag, their design and

performance has often left them well ahead of the competition.

Famed for their passion of ultra high build quality, rock solid

performance, incredible design and the most important thing about be

quiet! dedication to keeping their products whisper quiet. While we

love great performance from our cooling products (obviously), there is

nothing worse that having a high-powered gaming rig that sounds like

an incoming hurricane, and I'm sure more than a few of our readers

understand where I am coming from. With whirring GPU fans kicking up a

storm while gaming, PSU fans humming, air turbulence from chassis fans

and more, its extremely easy for a PC to become annoyingly loud,

especially when gaming and even more so on a hot day. It's for these

reasons that products such as those from be quiet! are all the more

tempting.

As you can see from the specifications below the Dark Rock 3 supports

all major Intel and AMD sockets, including the newer LGA1150. A single

135mm 1400rpm ( ( -at -) 100% PWM) Silentwings fan is included, perfect for

spanning the 137mm width of the cooler.
