be quiet!, the German manufacturer for premium PC components, is announcing Dark Rock Elite and Dark Rock Pro 5. While Dark Rock Pro 5 is the successor to the award-winning Dark Rock Pro 4, Dark Rock Elite is a completely new product. The new coolers significantly improve upon the performance, features and usability of the Pro 4. Dark Rock Elite is aimed at users that require the highest performance and airflow, integrating ARGB lighting, a premium design for an elite experience, and an innovative rail system that makes RAM clearance even easier. Dark Rock Pro 5 meanwhile offers outstanding cooling performance at extreme low noise levels on all popular consumer sockets. Both coolers are built for maximum compatibility with high-end motherboards and RAM-modules and offer an integrated Speed Switch for an inaudible operation or maximum cooling performance.
Dark Rock Elite offers unprecedented performance and cooling power through cutting edge fan technology and combines it with an iconic design. The 7 high-performance heat pipes are accompanied by two Silent Wings 135 mm PWM fans for maximum air pressure and perfect airflow. These turn up to 2,000 rpm in Performance Mode, unleashing the full power of the cooler, or use Quiet Mode to run virtually inaudibly at an efficient 1500 rpm in super-quiet PC builds. Users can easily choose between the two cooling modes with the integrated Speed Switch.
