Product Overview No Compromise Silence and Performance
Dark Rock™ CPU coolers have long been category leaders, and now the significantly upgraded Dark Rock Pro 3 is even more powerful. This virtually inaudible double-tower CPU cooler puts famous be quiet! SilentWings® technology in your PC where it really counts. They are excellent for overclocked systems and demanding multi-graphics platforms.

Dark Rock Pro 3 offers top performance-to-noise ratio and the highest reliability available. Improved cooling efficiency (250W TDP) and really silent operation (only 26.1dB(A) at maximum speed) mean this cooler strikes the perfect balance between cooling and serenity —truly silence and performance without compromises.

Immensely high cooling efficiency
• Improved dynamic wave-contour cooling fins with small dots on the surface increase air circulation and contribute to high convection efficiency without raising overall noise.
• Enhanced double-tower layout offers reduced weight and enables high cooling power.
• Support of additional 120mm fan for extreme cooling performance (free fan clips are included in the scope of delivery).
• Seven high-performance heat pipes with copper lining and aluminum caps carry heat to the optimal location on the cooling fins, maximizing heat conductance.
• The immensely high cooling capacity of 250W TDP offers low temperature even at peak performance.
• New arrangement of heat pipes enhances the cooling capability.

Virtually inaudible operation
• Two SilentWings® PWM fans (front: 120mm, inner: 135mm) with advanced copper core fluid dynamic bearing and dynamically-balanced impeller provide optimal cooling with deep serenity.
• Inner 135mm SilentWings® PWM fan features nine airflow-optimized fan blades and an innovative 6-pole motor for smoother operation and less vibration.
• Decoupled fan mount with vibration-isolating elements on the heat sink.
• Noise is at scant 26.1dB(A) even at 100% PWM function.

Product conception, design and quality control in Germany
• Winner of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2014.
• Compatibility with all current Intel® and AMD™ sockets.
• Completely dark nickel-plated heat sink.
• Brushed aluminum top cover with high-grade diamond cut finish.

Ideal for:
• High-resolution gaming and multimedia.
• Overclocked systems.
• Demanding graphics applications. Features • Top performance-to-noise ratio with 250W TDP at max. 26.1 dB(A).
• Seven high-performance heat pipes with copper lining maximize heat conductance.
• Two SilentWings PWM fans (front: 120mm, inner: 135mm) with advanced fluid dynamic bearing.
• Inner 135mm SilentWings PWM fan features nine airflow-optimized blades and smoother six-pole fan motor.
• Support of additional 120mm fan for extreme cooling performance (free fan clips included in the scope of delivery).
• Special wave-contoured fins minimize noise-inducing turbulence and maximize convective cooling.
• Dark nickel-plated double-tower layout.
• Compatible with Intel® and AMD™.
• Product conception, design and quality control in Germany.

Intel Core i7-6950X and Broadwell-E
Date Issued: 31st May 2016

The Intel Core i7-6700K has sated the appetite of enthusiast gamers since August 2015, but if a quad-core chip just doesn't tickle your fancy, you might have been twiddling your thumbs in anticipation of a new HEDT (High End Desktop) part.

Intel 4th Generation Extreme CPUs
Date Issued: 29th Aug 2014

New processors usually grab all the release limelight, relegating the supporting core logic and memory to mere footnotes. This time, a brand-new chipset and DDR4 memory are equal partners in the platform.

Intel Branding Part I
Date Issued: 1st Jul 2009

Intel’s been on a mission of late. That mission revolves around grouping and standardising key technologies under various banners that are designed to ensure hardware compatibility and consumer ease of use. We’ll take a closer look at three such technologies that fall under the headings of Centrino, Viiv, and vPro, respectively.

Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe)
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

The purpose of this TekSpek is to delineate the publicly known features of Intel’s next generation desktop microarchitecture. Codenamed Conroe and officially titled Intel Core 2 Duo, it’s loosely based on the current mobile Yonah (Core Duo) underpinnings.

AMD AM2
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

The purpose This TekSpek quickly and easily explains AMD’s new processor socket and related technology to the reader, comparing it to AMD’s previous socket types.

AMD 64 Processors
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

This TekSpek explains what AMD’s AMD64 CPU instruction set architecture (ISA) is, shows what CPUs implement it from both AMD and Intel, and explains what software is available to run on those 64-bit consumer processors.

Chassis Airflow
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

The modern PC is potentially a mass of heat output and heat production hot spots. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two!), multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it’s working hard is no joke.

Overclocking
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008

This TekSpek explains why you’d want to overclock your graphics board, the risks in doing so and how you can go about doing it.

Core 2
Date Issued: 14th Jun 2008

There’s been a lot of hype about Intel’s Core 2 recently, even since they launched Core in fact. Words like Conroe, Badaxe and Allendale have been flying around. The bottom line is that Core 2 is the name of Intel’s latest line of CPUs, based on a new micro-architecture, designed for speed and efficiency.

System Noise Reduction
Date Issued: 5th Mar 2007

Anybody who has been near their share of computer systems will appreciate that not all systems make the same amount of noise. There are a number of reasons for why this is so. Firstly, a computer makes noise for different reasons. Generally, anything mechanical is going to make noise.
