be quiet!

Uncompromisingly quiet cooling of superlatives  
The Dark Rock Slim offers an exceptionally high cooling performance of 180W TDP and is nearly inaudibly quiet. Perfect for high-end systems with limited space.

Space-saving design  
Powerful cooling in small PCs  
The compact design and excellent heat dissipation, even in small PCs, make the Dark Rock Slim the perfect choice for high-end systems with limited space. Thanks to its space-saving construction, no memory slots are blocked.

Nearly inaudible operation  
Only 23.6 dB(A) even at 100% load  
The Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM fan is equipped with seven airflow-optimized fan blades, a quiet 6-pole motor, and a durable fluid-dynamic bearing. Vibration-isolating elements attached to the heatsink allow for decoupled fan mounting.

Especially high cooling performance  
The perfect balance of performance and noise  
The Dark Rock Slim achieves an impressive performance of 180W TDP and ensures low system temperatures even when the CPU is running at full speed. For exceptional cooling requirements, there is also the option to install an additional 120mm retail fan.

Advanced design  
The key to high-end cooling  
The Dark Rock Slim features four advanced 6mm high-performance copper heat pipes that ensure maximum thermal conductivity. Airflow-optimized, wave-shaped cooling fins with small surface dots enhance air circulation. A special coating with ceramic particles ensures perfect heat transfer.

Key specifications

Socket

A CPU socket or CPU slot is a mechanical component that provides mechanical and electrical connections between a microprocessor and a printed circuit board (PCB). This allows the CPU to be replaced without soldering.
Common sockets have retention clips that apply a constant force, which must be overcome when a device is inserted. For chips with a large number of pins, either zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets or land grid array (LGA) sockets are used instead. These designs apply a compression force once either a handle (for ZIF type) or a surface plate (LGA type) is put into place. This provides superior mechanical retention while avoiding the risk of bending pins when inserting the chip into the socket.

Number of fans

Max. TDP

The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, refers to the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate. For example, a laptop's CPU cooling system may be designed for a 20 watt TDP, which means that it can dissipate up to 20 watts of heat without exceeding the maximum junction temperature for the computer chip. It can do this using an active cooling method such as a fan or any of the three passive cooling methods, convection, thermal radiation or conduction. Typically, a combination of methods is used. The TDP is typically not the most power the chip could ever draw, such as by a power virus, but rather the maximum power that it would draw when running "real applications". This ensures the computer will be able to handle essentially all applications without exceeding its thermal envelope, or requiring a cooling system for the maximum theoretical power (which would cost more but in favor of extra headroom for processing power).

Airflow

The air volume refers to the amount of air that can be moved or circulated per unit of time. It is often measured in cubic metres per hour or litres per second. A higher air volume generally indicates a stronger suction force or circulation of air.

With a TDP of 180W, the cooler enables efficient heat dissipation for high-performance processors under system load.

High Cooling Performance

Even at full load, the fan reaches a maximum noise level of only 23.6 dB(A) for extremely quiet operation.

Low Noise Generation

Thanks to the space-saving design, no memory slots on the motherboard are blocked by the cooler.
