I have a gaming PC that used the stock cooler supplied with my processor. It was overheating, and LDLC recommended that I get this dual-tower cooler to properly cool my processor. Since then, I no longer have any CPU overheating problems and my PC works optimally. I recommend LDLC's services for the professionalism they showed in dealing with my CPU overheating issue!
A bit noisy if you use 100% of the processor, but does its job very well. If you have a soundproof case, you can hardly hear it.
As a loyal customer of the brand, at a time when everyone swears by AIOs, I didn't want to bother with pump or water issues. I keep my PCs for 7-8 years, and I wanted a robust, maintenance-free and silent solution to cool an Intel 265K.
This is the third Dark Rock I've installed. My previous BeQuiet cooler is still running after 8 years of loyal service, but it's a bit limited for the 265K, so I went for the next model up this time. It's still as simple as ever, with no problems with the RAM, even though I have relatively tall modules (not low profile) and it fits without having to raise the fan.
I don't remember the temperatures off the top of my head, but I ran some benchmarks (Cinebench) and got a normal score and temperature for this processor, indicating that it wasn't throttling due to poor cooling.
It came with a long magnetic screwdriver, which I used to assemble the rest of the PC.
I use it on a Core Ultra 265K. It's true that you can't hear it, it idles very slowly. When I run compilations, the fan slowly increases in power but the air that comes out remains cold. I should even be able to slow down the fan during these occasional phases (unfortunately, the MSI Z890 motherboard doesn't give me access to the PWM settings).
The only downside (hence the missing star) is that the metal spacers to be screwed onto the motherboard tracks, so I had to add cardboard washers to protect them. I don't know if it's the motherboard that doesn't respect the spec or the fan mounting, but be careful before you screw! What's more, the assembly instructions are rudimentary and approximate, to say the least, so when you see this you have your doubts.
Ah, surprise, there's a long Phillips screwdriver under the foam at the bottom of the box, which you discover once you've assembled everything and are about to take the remains to the bin :-)
I've always used Noctua and this time for my new Intel Core Ultra 7 PC, I decided on Be Quiet after seeing several videos, result: Excellent, very easy assembly, no problem with my Gskill strips, no problem with the MVME SSD cooler next to it (Asus Rog Strix Z890 E Gaming Wifi motherboard in a Be Quiet Pure Base 501 DX case.
In operation: no noise from the ventirad or the case despite 4 fans inside. I haven't tried overclocking yet.
The ventirad is perfectly packaged, over-wrapped by LDLC, no problem with Chronopost delivery, deadline met.
