    Diese Investition hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Ich hatte schon Silentlfter, aber dieser bertrifft alle. Im normalen Betrieb sehr sehr leise.

    Comes with two fans, and has an option to mount another. They are indeed very quiet.

    However getting the fans to actually clip into place was the most annoying experience.

    It also just barely blocks the first PCIe port meaning I have to put my GPU into the third one, but that’s on me for not correctly measuring that out.

    Mounted it on my 3975wx pro. Easy to install. Applied Thermal Grizzly instead of the included thermal paste. So far, the maximum temperature the cpu hit was 78C (primary load Blender), so the cooler definitely can cool the 32 cores Threadrippers. Make sure that your case is well ventilated (seven 140mm Noctua fans here).

    I had a Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing RGB 360 Edition since the system was firstly built. I always was hovering around 60-70 C. I feel like the Thermaltake always underperformed for a water cooler, but then started to fail taking my temp over 80 C. Replaced with this Be Quiet! system and my system idles at around 40 C and under a gaming load at about 55C. This has been a game changer. Using a Threadripper 1950x.

    Alles was man bentigt htte lag dem Produkt im einwandfreiem Zustand bei.
    Ein Schraubendreher, alle Montageteile sowie eine kleine Tube Wrmeleitpaste.

    Fr mich leider alles ungeeignet da der Khler nicht fr So.1200 geeignet ist.
    Sicher hat dieser hier auch was drauf, testen konnte ich ihn nicht.

    Versand und Rckversand liefen jedoch problemlos weshalb ich bei diesem Hndler wieder bestellen wrde.

    Positives;
    – Very Quiet
    – Easy install (at least to me)
    – Looks really nice
    Negatives;
    – Very large, I thought it might touch the graphics card backplate even, but there’s a small gap thankfully
    – Fans max RPM is quite low so not recommended for overclocking with stock fans
    – Fans can be hard to dismount, don’t recommend swapping the fans regularly (though who does that anyway? 😀 ).

    Replaced a garbage AIO liquid cooler with this be quiet! Dark Rock Pro HSF and the temp dropped by 30C.
    Also it was super easy to install but to be fair I have a very large PC case.

    This thing is so BIG, I actually couldn’t fit in the RAM that I bought because it was too tall. Then was told by my builder-pro that if I put in the 64Gb RAM I wanted I would have to completely REMOVE the CPU cooler to get in any more, so I ponied up the dough for the full 128Gb that I knew I eventually wanted and put it in now so I wouldn’t have to go through installing this behemoth again.
    However, it really works well. Keeps my Threadripper 3960X 24core CPU nice and cool and make almost NO NOISE at all. Have to recommend it, but expect to do some cussing when you install it.

    The mounting system is ok. Not the best.

    Most annoying thing is knowing which direction the center fan flows. So I wasn’t sure which way I had to mount the other fan.

    Works great, my 1900x overclocked to 4.0 never goes above 67c with my current tuning. Basically every other fan at idle in my system is louder than the included fans at 100%. There’s a little more performance to be had in my system with much higher voltages but without going exotic with cooling it’s a waste. There’s maybe two or three other air coolers on the market that truly complete with this one.

    This cooler comes with lowest rpm fans. With those fans max tdp is about 200-210w and not 250w as marketed. In 200-250w range you need third high speed fan. Material, design and color is great. It looks nice in my system.

    I boycotted liquid coolers for my threadripper build after the issues with Enermax cooler failure. This cooler does a much better job with good airflow. Totally fine for over clocking as well

    If you have a Alienware Area 51 Tread ripper edition R7 with a TR4 socket AMD 2950x like me you need this cooler. This cooler covers the entire CPU, but you will need about 3 times more thermal paste due to the size of the cpu die!! A word of warning>>>make sure you cover the whole surface of your cpu with thermal paste or you risk cooking your cpu<<<. That warning aside! This air cooler is better and longer lasting than the all in one liquid cooler provided by Alienware due to the fact that it is too small for a large count cpu that produces alot of heat! The original alienware liquid cooler does not work well under heavy loads like rendering 3D. This air cooler has 2 fans and is very quiet and very cool and never throttles. I do 3D rendering in Blender and Daz studio and I have a 16 core cpu being cooled by this cooler and I have no complaints. I did cover the uphere logo with a silver alienware stick on logo but this is merely a cosmetic change and does not affect performance in any way. This is a very necessary upgrade if you have a system like mine and is worth every penny. I have enclosed pictures of the final installation and a temp reading at idle with the Ryzen master software showing 29 deg Cel. The Uphere air Cooler also comes with a very nice long reach Philips head screw driver with magnetic head that will work great with your other computer projects. A word of warning>>> just don’t loose it because it is the only way to remove this cooler!<<< Don't Loose this screw driver!!!!

    I bought this based on a video recommendation by YouTuber LGR. I have no complaints about the performance . This fan is a BEAST! The dual fans are so quiet that my power supply becomes the loudest thing!

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersJe l’utilise sans problme depuis 3 mois dans un boitier correctement ventil avec un Threadripper 3960X non overclock, ce refroidisseur est la preuve qu’un refroidissement liquide n’est pas obligatoire avec ces processeurs… contrairement ce qu’on peut lire parfois. Sauf peut tre si vous faites des sances de rendering de 3 heures… mais ce n’est pas mon cas.

    Much better than, enermax tr4 360, the only I came across was clearance with my ram modules, I have corsairs dominator platinum, fixed by pushing with bit of force.

    It is recommended to mount this with the motherboard out of your system. My system was already built, and I was replacing a current water cooler from Liqtech. The install was simple and easy to do. It was a little hard with the motherboard being in the case but was still simple to complete. I can see this being a breeze with motherboard out of the case. I would also highly recommend that you have RAM installed beforehand and make sure it clears before fighting everything down.

    As for cooling and CPU ideal and load temps: What a difference. I was running my TR4 Ryzen 1950x under 100% load previously around 68C. It now runs at a cool 43C under load. Idle with this cooler is around 36C. This thing is fantastic! I did use a higher grade thermal paste, so your results may differ. I am incredibly pleased with this and have been shocked by the results. The system overall is faster and more stable due to CPU running cooler.

    I chose this cooler for multiple reasons:

    1. it is black
    2. it offers great cooling even for a AMD 3970X running stock

    The assembly was ok. I would not say it is the easiest to assemble, but if you take your time with the product you will do a great job!

    CPU stays between 52-55 in normal taks and max 70 in games.

    So far, it works fine. It keeps my 3960X (stock) at @ 82 C when rendering inside 3ds Max; using the provided fans. At idle is around 45-48 C
    Mounting the fans can be a bit tricky, but nothing major.
    I like the option of having the clips for adding a third fan, i will be changing the fans for Noctua’s in the future.

    Keeps a stock 3960X cool.

    Mounting is tricky, the fan that goes in between the heat sink is difficult to install and its direction is a guess. It moves around on the cpu while you are trying to slip in the mounting bracket. But it is silent and looks good. I have a 1900x and so far I havent had any temp issues on stock speed. Not a fan of OC so havent tried it. The MB is meg creation which does report that the fans are not working sometimes but that’s by design.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOttimo, viene fornito con le istruzioni per il montaggio, cacciavite di qualit e pasta termica! di ottima fattura, bello grosso e pesante, quasi un 800/900 grammi! fa il suo lavoro! sembra quasi un radiatore di un auto.
    un PRO incredibile il suo design… molti dissipatori di questa dimensione una volta messi si ha difficolt ad accedere alla RAM, questo invece studiato e pensato, infatti lascia spazio per lo slot ram dove resta alla giusta distanza.

    Questo sembra studiato anche per ram piu “alte”. come profilo

    Ottimo, di facile montaggio

    Great air cooler – running on an Asus ROG Zenith II Extreme (from Amazon) – 3960x. Completely inaudible, even running Prime 95 torture test FFT. Temps never exceeded 78 degrees. Great looks – all black. Clears memory modules with room to spare.
    I was considering an AIO water cooling setup but geez, why bother.

    Perfect for new Threadripper 3960x at stock settings . .

    Great cooling fan for a cpu. I bought it used and had to get a replacement as it was received crooked. The replacement was fine. Poor quality control on reselling returned items.

    fairly easy to install (much easier than the DR Pro 3)
    very quiet while offering great performance
    Looks great in virtually any build
    Slightly better RAM compatibility than Noctua D15

    Cons: after a little bit of time mine started to appear “bent”

    overall I am happy with it and would recommend it but you will definitely want to take a look at the new Noctua D15 Chromax Black

    This cooler is absolutely amazing, I am so happy I went with this instead of an all in one watercooler. The packaging is great and it comes with a looooong boi Philips screwdriver to easily access the screws for installation and removal. The one downfall is that mounting the fans works by hooking on tensioned metal wires that hook on to fan first then the coolers fins, I’m not really a FAN of the mounting method. It was a bit difficult to install without scratching the finish. The amount of difficulty you experience in mounting the fans will vary depending on your willingness to scratch/bend new hardware. But most importantly OH MY GOD IT IS SOOOO QUIET!!! I have this thing cooling my 2970wx and while doing all but the most intensive tasks it just chugs along not making a single sound in a heavily vented case, all I can hear coming from my pc is the case fans quietly spinning and the slightest bit of coil whine (your mileage will vary depending on your hardware)! When gaming or benchmarking, this thing still is barely audible and keeps the cpu nice and cool. NOTE: make sure your case will fit with this thing, I have a fairly large atx mid tower case (cooler master-master case h500p) and I was worried it wouldn’t fit, there is less than 1/2 inch clearance between the top of the cooler and the glass side panel.

    Looks really good and sounds quiet. This one is a couple of months old and doing great. I am really sure they will last a long time. I have 2 Be-Quiet slim coolers on my dual-xeon machine. Those are 2 years old, rendering almost 24/7 and seem just as good as new.

    I got this cooler for a system I built with a 1950x Threadripper. I was originally using an AIO, but was having issues keeping the CPU below max temps when under load. Also it was extremely loud due to the fans having to stay at max RPMs to keep the temps down. Enter the Dark Rock Pro. This thing keeps the CPU well below max temps at all kinds of utilization, even with a slight overclock. I never have to worry about heat. But even more impressive than that is the noise (or the lack of it). I can never hear this thing going even when it’s at full speed. This fan single-handedly changed my mind about air coolers. If silence is what you’re going for in your build look no further.

    Easy to install, quiet, and just as effective as the AIO water cooler it replaced at half the cost (LiqTech TR4 that killed itself after less than a year). Best bang for the buck if you can live without RGB. Highly recommended to any TR4 user.

    When the Water cooler on my Threadripper 1950X failed after only 7 month I was in a real scramble to get my machine up and running properly again. My Friend recommended that I try the Dark Rock Pro. Although the install was a bit tricky because my motherboard was already mounted in the case and I also had to remove both GPUs. Once I got everything up and running I was very happy to see such good temps and though it’s pushing allot air it not annoying sounding at all. I won`t be going back to water cooled any time soon. Very happy with the way this cooler works and I feel it will last a very long time.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersMy main requirements was air cooler and ram clearance. This worked perfectly. I had purchased my ram before I purchased and air cooling solution so the search began. I did my homework and believed this would work and it did.. There will be no room left after installing so put all your ram sticks in first then mount cooler. Processor is lightly over clocked to 3.8 GHz and idle temps are 33C. So if you need an air cooler with decent ram clearance this is it. Also the ram I used was Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro.

    Richtig Guter khler. Und einfach der beste was Design und Leistung an geht. Empfehle ich jeden fr TR4 bevor man eine 08/15 AIO Wasserkhlung kauft. Einziges Manko er ist Gro, RIESIG! Bei meinem Gehuse (O11 Dynamic) konnte ich das Seitenfenstern nicht mehr schlieen. Sehr bitter. Bitte das zu bedenken: Einbauhhe 16cm! Optisch wirklich top komplett in schwarz gehalten und sogar mit eingebautem Mainboard leicht zu montieren.

    Very quiet even when CPU usage at 100% over a period of days.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersIch hatte zuvor den groen Enermax Liqtech TR4 360 AIO Wasserkhler und war von der Geruschentwicklung sehr genervt! Bei Last drehten die Lfter schnell hoch und ab einer gewissen Zeit mussten die Lfter sogar auf 100% aufdrehen. Da wurde mir schnell klar dass dieses Konzept, bei der enormen Hitzeentwicklung vom Ryzen TR 1950x, nichts taugt!

    Ich war lange Jahre von groen Tower Khlern berzeugt, da diese einfach sehr viel passive Khlleistung mitbringen! Dies ermglicht eine langsame Drehzahl der Lfter auch bei last. Und hier trifft der Dark Rock Pro aufs “schwarze”.

    Durch die Gre des Towers braucht die Montage natrlich seine Zeit, da der Montageraum sehr eng ist. Aber es ist dennoch einfach gemacht.

    Die Khlleistung machte sich direkt nach dem Systemstart bemerkbar. Denn selbst bei Idle war die CPU ~10C khler als zuvor mit dem Enermax. Mit Prime95 hatte ich hnliche Ergebnisse. Aber die Khlleistung war fr mich sekundr, denn ich ging davon aus dass die Leistung mindestens genauso gut sein sollte. Und das tat es auch. Was mir aber viel wichtiger war ist die Lautstrke bei Last! Selbst wenn die Lfter auf 100% mit ca. 1500u/min drehen, hre ich nur ein sehr leises Summen. Ich habe schon frher sehr gute Erfahrungen mit be quiet-Lftern gemacht und wurde hier auch nicht enttuscht.

    Fazit:
    Die enorme Passivleistung gepaart mit den hochwertigen und leisen Lftern macht diesen Khler zu einem must-have in der Threadripper-Szene. Meine CPU luft aktuell bei Standardtakt und 1.15Vcore bei last auf maximal 59C (Tdie).
    Ich kann es wirklich jedem nur empfehlen.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersSo the cooler came in and it looks really slick and has a nice black finish. The installation is quick and easy. It fit my Asus Prime X399-A motherboard like a glove with no issues. The cooler has a nice cut out for the ram so they don’t come into contact with each other. I’m using HyperX fury ram sticks.

    The temperatures are really good after installation. I had an Enermax TR4 360 AIO that gave me really bad temperatures ( 50 – 60 on idle! )

    This cooler however gives me a solid 27C with maxed out fans which is really impressive. I didn’t stress test the CPU just yet but I will later add my benchmark results. And yes the cooler is really quit even at 100% fan speed. So far I’m really satisfied with this cooler.

    First impressions are really good.
