Uncompromisingly quiet cooling of superlatives
Dark Rock CPU coolers have long been leaders in their performance class, and now the series surpasses itself with the further improved Dark Rock 3. This nearly inaudible single-tower CPU cooler provides the PC with the renowned SilentWings technology where it truly matters. It is excellently suited for overclocked systems and demanding multi-GPU platforms.
The Dark Rock 3 impresses with an outstanding balance of performance and noise level while maintaining the highest possible reliability. Improved cooling efficiency (190W TDP) and very quiet operation (only 21.1 dB(A) at maximum performance) demonstrate that the Dark Rock 3 offers the perfect balance of cooling and quiet operation - simply uncompromisingly quiet cooling of superlatives.
