        Pure silence

        I have been assembling my computer for two months now, this fan is great, it really doesn't make any noise except when you turn it up to full bios. It fits easily in a Zalman tower, don't be surprised by its size. Just a little problem with the installation of the two fans, the documentation is not easy to read but there are many tutorials on the internet. Thank you Be Quiet ! always on top !

        the brand is well named

        be quiet, it's a silence!
        I can hardly hear it when it's fully loaded.
        And temperature wise, with a ryzen, it barely gets any hotter.

        Perfect on MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC socket 1151

        The Ventirad is quite large, but it keeps its promises!
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it on a MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC, but it's a good idea to use it on a MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC or not, but it's a good idea to use the MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC to cool down the ram slots and the m2,
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use the MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC, but it's a good idea to use the MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC, because it's a good idea to use the MSI MPG 390M EDGE AC.)
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a new one, but it's a good idea to have a new one, because it's not a good idea to have a new one.
        I'm very happy with it, and it's a very good product.

        Very Good Ventirad

        The Dark Rock TF is perfect on a mini itx configuration, just fits, the performance is there, mounted on an i5 9600k I'm at 25 ° in office, I go to about 60 ° in games (Slight overclock of 4.9 GHz over 1h).
        I've been using it for a while now, but it's not too bad for me, and I've been using it for a while now.

        be quiet! Dark Rock TF

        As indicated, silence in its raw state,
        I found it easy to assemble, but for novices it is better to be two.
        Compatible with my Asus strix z370 (format: micro atx)
        + I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a long time.
        I recommend, I take off ½ star for the assembly.

        Nice beast but clearly incompatible with some mini-ITX gaming

        Very beautiful beast, visually it imposes and I do not doubt that the cooling is effective.

        But, impossible to mount it properly on a CM MSI Z270i Gaming Pro Carbon AC and this whatever the direction of assembly. In two positions the heatpipes are against the first RAM strip, in another it's against the CM's power supply radiator and in the last position, it blocks the PCI-e slot.

        In addition, the backplate is hampered by 2 small components on one of its legs. The back-plate has to be sealed with a small O-ring between the back-plate and the CM to make it fit.

        I'm not sure if a low-profile will fit, or if I need a low-profile graphite card, and there goes the performance :/

        be quiet! Dark Rock TF


        The parcel arrived at my address, but the lid of the package was half open, but everything is already inside and in good condition! I'm very happy with it!
        Very good product and very quiet!
        I recommend it!
        Thanks again ldlc.

        Super good.. once installed

        this Top-Flow fan is really perfect... when you have it installed: installation is almost impossible alone... I'm lucky enough to have my motherboard in the PC case, so I don't have to hold it upright to attach the fan. But it's still very complicated. Be careful with the dimensions! On some motherboards, the first RAM slot is too close to the Dark Rock TF (I had to remove a RAM strip...)
        Otherwise, once installed, it keeps its promises PERFECTLY: cools well, silently.
        Personally, I take one star off for the installation, but it is really ideal after this painful step.

        Good but not trivial ventirad

        It seems to be of good quality, the 2 fans are very quiet, and the i7 7700k did not exceed 40°C in stress test under OCCT4.4 (30 min)

        The only drawback is the assembly which is not the most obvious, whether it is on the sns of the fans poorly explained, but also on the fixing on the CM we must first fix the mounting brackets on the ventirad and not on the CM, and alone it is not obvious

        But overall a good product that deserves its price I think (do not forget that there are 2 Pure wings or about twenty euros of fans!)

        Delighted!

        First fridge I bought and assembled myself, I am pleasantly surprised by the silence and the performance of this one. The CPU does not exceed 42-43°C. Mounted on a Z97 gaming 5, I had to move the 2 RAM bars to the outside.

        Size limit with Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2-H3 CM

        It's quite big, so big that the heatpipes touch (and even push) the first memory module installed on my Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2-H3 motherboard.
        Regarding the height, without the top fan, in an A+ Case GL3B case, it fits, but I will cut a square in the top panel so that the hot air goes directly outside.
        Very quiet.
        Mounting the fan is doable, but when it comes to disassembling it, it will be very difficult.

        pros and cons but good


        in conclusion :

        for:
        the perf
        inaudible noise
        compatibility with 4slot of ram (no ram blocker)
        easy to understand picture instructions

        against :

        the price
        poorly explained written instructions
        assembly alone feasible but tricky


        I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it on a msi 970A SLI krait edition 16gb ram and a fx 8320e at 3.2ghz with turbo 4ghz and oc at 5ghz:

        I've got a 970a sli krait edition with 4GB ram and the rad doesn't interfere with the ram (the small heatpipe copter screws up the motherboard vrm and the big one screws up the ram)

        I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use it again, but I'm sure it will be.

        And the silence.....was...

        Super silent...super beautiful...super expensive...super complicated to assemble (pseudo assembly instructions, long live YouTube). Thermal paste provided (for the price, they can well make this effort). In cpu stress mode (cpu running at 100%), goes up to 65 degrees after 3minutes on fx9370 pushed to 4.7 with ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0

        Very good product

        The product is certainly expensive, but at least it meets my expectations.
        + very quiet
        + cools the processor very well
        + does not take up ram space
        + aesthetically pleasing

        - expensive if you consider that it's just a fridge

        I don't regret my purchase for a second.

        Quality, efficiency and compact size.

        What can I say about this huge yet compact ventirad?

        - Noise: With the fan on full blast, it is less audible than my old stock ventirad which I had stuck a Noctua blower to.

        - Performance: With an FX-4100 overclocked to 5,1ghz for 1,63V (!) the processor does not exceed 45° in games and 57° in burn.
        Moreover being a top flow, it directs its airflow towards the motherboard and helps to cool the VRM.

        - Size: It fits right into my Pandora case with its 130mm height. Ram level, my Crucial Ballistix tactical is a breeze to get through and its 800gr makes it a featherweight for its capabilities.

        - Finish: This is a BeQuiet! and it's really beautiful. Black aluminium, heatpipes covers, 2 Shadow wings PWM, a nice polished surface to make contact with the processor, anti-vibration pads...

        The only thing that can go wrong is the bill. Well, it's relative, when you know that the two Shadow wings are worth more than 35€ alone. The ultimate top-flow!

        Quiet and efficient

        Great ventirad!

        Very quiet and efficient, on an i7 3770 at full load 40°c with only one fan installed

        It goes well over the RAM bars

        The finish is beautiful!

        On the other hand the assembly is not very simple, but once fixed it does not move anymore!

        No noise and excellent cooling

        Very quiet, even when the demand is high. The cooling is excellent (on i7-5930K at least).
        The only downside is that its size makes it difficult to install on some motherboards, and limits physical access to some of the RAM strips.
