Be quiet! CPU cooler Dark Rock 6 135mm PWM fan 6 heatpipes

Be quiet! Dark Rock 6 — powerful CPU cooler

For users looking for a quiet yet powerful cooler for Intel and AMD processors, the Be quiet! Dark Rock 6 is a great choice. With a maximum thermal design of 220 W TDP, it can handle even the most demanding gaming or workload setups, while its asymmetric design ensures compatibility with high RAM modules and VRM coolers. The Silent Wings 135 mm fan with hydrodynamic bearing offers quiet operation with a noise level of just 31.1 dB(A) at maximum speed and the option of a semi-passive mode. Impressive performance, quiet operation and an elegant black ceramic surface make this cooler an ideal choice for demanding users.

Performance and cooling efficiency

The Dark Rock 6 is equipped with six optimized 6 mm copper heat pipes that effectively transfer heat from the processor to densely spaced ceramic-coated aluminum fins. This design not only increases cooling efficiency, but also adds to its visual appeal. The Silent Wings 135 mm fan generates a powerful 79.48 CFM (135.04 m³/h) airflow and 2.48 mm H2O pressure, ensuring stable cooling even under heavy loads.

Flexible operating modes

With a hardware switch, you can choose between active performance mode and semi-passive silent mode. In passive mode, the fan remains completely stopped at a PWM signal of up to 40%, minimizing noise in less demanding situations. This flexible approach allows you to adapt the cooler to your needs, whether you prefer maximum performance or absolute silence.

Compatibility and easy installation

The asymmetric design of the cooler, along with cutouts in the structure, ensures high compatibility with various components, including tall RAM modules and bulky VRM coolers. The mounting system is simple and compatible with a wide range of processor sockets, including Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200 and others, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4. This ensures seamless integration into most modern builds.
