Massive, high-performance and relatively quiet CPU cooler
This cooler proves effective on Ryzen 5 or 7 or iCore 5 CPUs drawing up to 150 or 170W max, but is insufficient at full load on higher-end or unlock processors (i7/i9/Ryzen 9) unless you cap power in the UEFI or via the operating system.
Big advantage: it allows the use of all DIMM slots, even with tall-profile RAM, thanks to its offset design. On the other hand, you have to settle for a single fan, which is fairly discreet except under heavy load.
No frills here: it's black aluminum without RGB, but this model is very well finished, supplied with paste and a screwdriver, and above all available for most sockets!
Here, I'm using it on a vintage build with an i7 4790 processor on socket 1150 drawing less than 100W, so the CPU ramps up under load in utter silence...Review automatically translated -

Super!
After changing my case, motherboard, processor, I needed to cool this new configuration... And the chassis fans + those managed by the mobo + the CPU cooler of the Ryzen 7 5800 couldn't manage it! So I chose this 'big' model, to which I added a second fan. A few cold sweats during installation given the size, not sure I would be able to close the case again... And in the end everything works perfectly! Very satisfied with this purchase, + Very quiet CPU cooler ...

Perfect
It ventilates, it cools, it doesn't make any noise, everything you want, to be seen over the long term but I trust Be Quiet for that.

quiet! Dark Rock 5
Buy today, assemble in 5 minutes, the best cooling for the Ryzen 7 5800X, 60 degrees in games and super quiet. Thank you LCDC for the advice.

Large cooler for large configurations
Ideal for a large processor such as the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Overclocking will not be an issue; I recommend it.

Works well
Replacing a water cooling system. Works well. The only issue is that installation is a bit complicated because you have to screw it in just below the radiator.

Be Quiet Dark Rock 5
I needed to quickly replace an AIO that had broken down in December, and LDLC Strasbourg was very responsive.
They immediately suggested the right model for my CPU and case. And the Dark Rock 5 is incredible. Powerful, quiet and very efficient, practically on par with my 360 water cooling system from another brand.
I can recommend it without hesitation for CPUs under 210W.Review automatically translated -

Simple and effective
Works very well with a 9800 X3D. Haven't pushed it to the max yet. Does the job very well ????

Be Quiet Cooler
Extremely quiet cooler, even with an additional extraction fan. It is quite imposing, especially in terms of height, so choose your PC case carefully if you plan to assemble it yourself. Otherwise, it's really TOP.

Efficient and sober
Be quiet is for me THE reference brand in the world of ventilation and for me always a faultless.
As always, never better than their products, sober, minimalist, silent and efficient.Review automatically translated -

Very good product
The equipment was delivered on time, with no problems.
Relatively easy to assemble, although the instructions could be more explicit.
the fan should be fitted with screws rather than clips.Review automatically translated -

Quiet and efficient
Admittedly there's no RGB but it does the job. Installation is easy thanks to the screwdriver included in the box and the fixing system AMD and/or intel...note that the thermal paste is also included so there's no need to buy one separately.

Fast, accurate delivery
I ordered my components on Wednesday and the parcel arrived the next morning, top responsiveness and professionalism. After comparing my basket on several shopping sites, LDLC is the cheapest. I'm delighted to use a French distributor with a responsive, competent and understandable after-sales service that I've already had to deal with. I would recommend
Well done to all the teams.Review automatically translated -

Super Product
Works very well to cool down the i5-14600k in my secondary PC, and I can't really help with the sound, as I'm used to my main PC being very noisy (so for me it's a very acceptable noise level). The sober design is nice when you don't necessarily want a Christmas tree on your desk.
The screwdriver supplied with it is really good and has helped me many times since.
I recommend Be Quiet products, I've never been disappointed.Review automatically translated -

I'm not a fan of watercooling yet! be quiet solutions are always a good alternative.
I recommend the Dark Rock, which is very efficient and quiet! I'd rather have a large tower!Review automatically translated -

Works very well
Easy to install. Quiet. Works well and my CPU does not exceed 60°C in normal use. Would recommend.

Doesn't really cool when fully charged
Well, during the full charge of an i5 13600K, it cools down just DALE, hitting 100° as soon as I do a userdiag and the proco goes into full charge, so well... it doesn't do what we expect of it, in future it'll be noctua and only noctua as I've always been used to.

Excellent
Excellent ventirad, cools very well and is very quiet. Even when the fan is running hard, the noise is reasonable. Looks great if you don't like RGB. Perfect for a configuration where performance and silence are paramount.

much better than I thought.
product purchased to replace a silent loop 2 360mm hs.
Mounted on a ryzen 7 5800x overclocked I expected to have a good cooling but that will have a little trouble and not at all, even in stress test I do not exceed 65 ° (in a case silent base 802 very well ventilated).Review automatically translated -

Otherwise a quiet product that meets my expectationsReview automatically translated -

The horror
I spent hours assembling this ventirad, only to realise that in my frustration, I had forgotten to apply the thermal paste. Dismantling it was almost as difficult as assembling it: thermal paste applied, impossible to reassemble because two screws wouldn't fit. So I recovered my old thermaltake, uninstalled it from the old board and reinstalled it on the new one... in 5 minutes.

Ventirad ok not too expensive
Installs well, INTEL and AMD fixings included. A long screwdriver is included in the pack, which is handy but a waste for those who already have one. The fan is attached with two wires, which is a bit cheap. In my case, there's only a few mm between the fan cover and the case glass.
