Be quiet! DARK ROCK SLIM
Be quiet! DARK ROCK SLIM
The Be quiet! DARK ROCK SLIM CPU cooler efficiently cools processors with a thermal design power of up to 180W TDP. Its slim profile solves compatibility issues in builds with limited space, while also leaving free access to the memory slots. The cooling system is based on four high-performance copper heat pipes that quickly dissipate heat from the processor to the aluminium heatsink with wave-contoured fins. A 120mm Silent Wings 3 fan with automatic PWM speed control provides active airflow.
Key features of the Be quiet! DARK ROCK SLIM CPU cooler
- Design dissipates heat up to 180W TDP
- Silent Wings 3 fan allows automatic speed control via PWM
- Fluid Dynamic Bearing reduces friction and noise
- Maximum operating noise does not exceed 23.6dB(A)
- Asymmetrical design frees up space for RAM modules
- Mounting kit supports top-side motherboard installation
- Supports a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, including AM5
Quiet operation
The Silent Wings 3 fan uses a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) and a smooth-running six-pole motor, which limits operational vibrations and friction. Its seven blades with optimised geometry create high static pressure at a low noise level, which does not exceed 23.6dB(A) even at a maximum of 1500rpm. In addition, anti-vibration elements separate the fan mounting from the heatsink, preventing the transfer of vibrations to the cooler's structure.
Efficient heat transfer
The passive part of the cooler is covered with a special black coating containing ceramic particles, which improves heat transfer to the surrounding air. Four copper heat pipes maximise thermal conductivity from the base to the fins. The surface of the wave-contoured fins is covered with small dots that increase air circulation. The overall look is finished with a top cover made of brushed aluminium with a diamond-cut finish.
Compact design and installation
Thanks to its dimensions, this compact CPU cooler does not block access to the RAM memory slots on most motherboards. The included installation kit supports top-side motherboard installation, which simplifies the entire process. The cooler is compatible with a wide range of Intel and AMD sockets, including AM5. For even greater cooling performance, a second 120mm fan can be attached to the heatsink.
