Be quiet! Dark Rock 3 Pro for 64.99 at NCIX! (US)

Izaya Orihara

This is next to the NH D-14 and the NH D-15 the best air cooler on the market. It's also quieter than both of those.

 

Well for once we can genuinely say the clue's in the name.  It really is very quiet indeed.  In fact we'd go as far as to say it's one of the quietest coolers we've ever tested, and yes, that does include the Noctuas and yes we do mean the D14 also.  We test all our coolers at the full twelve volts, and where some AIOs may be screaming like a Sharon on a Saturday night the Pro 3 was as quiet as a peado in a Barney suite.

 

 

Also it looks way better than anything else I have seen.

 

Granted the D14 performs better but not by much and it is arguably a little louder (yes, we actually said that), and let’s be honest, unless you like natural Aluminium fins and fans the colour of poo and prosthetic limbs then you have to agree the Pro 3 does make the D14 look rather like the Ginger step kid.  Even if we compare the Pro 3 to AIOs out there it still stands up rather well.  Bettering most and for about the same money as some, and less than a good few others.

 

 

 

 

It has won OC3D's

If you have a look at my rig you will see that I have one of those cooling my 4930k and i'm in the high 60's- low 70's while running Aida 64. At 4.5 ghz! It's an amazing cooler, it's silent and sexy. Also at this price it's much cheaper than let's say an NH D-15

I love Be Quiet's colors and quality but can't get one because my Extreme3's PCB is kinda thin.

 

I'm very much afraid of this bad boy's close to 1kg weight. This is like the D14, rounded, everything a sleek black. That's German and Austrian quality for you.

It will work just fine.
