Would it fit in the case ?

[Mikey89]

So i'm using a RYZEN 5 3600 with a BEQUIET Shadow Rock LP and was thinking of upgrafing it sincer this one îs about 6 years old.

 

I want to get either the BEQUIET Dark Rock 4 or the BEQUIET Dark Rock PRO 4.

 

I'm using this case

But i am not sure if either of those will fit inside the case.

 

Does anyone know if they will fit and also if those are compatibile with AM4 CPU ?

Thanks for the info about both of them.

 

I was thinking though - is the Dark Rock PRO 4 maybe overkill ?

Should i just get the Dark Rock 4 ?

 

Not really sure which to get...also the the Dark Rock 4 is smaller and i'm guessing would fit better inside the case.

For your current CPU, it looks to be overkill.

 

Unless you plan to upgrade your CPU soon, then sticking with the non-PRO should be enough...

 

Here's a comparison betwen the two...

For some strange reason, there's no Airflow specifications on Bequiet's website...

My main concern îs in gaming.

 

I was playing Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered in PC and i noticed it was pushing the CPU.

 

My Shadow Rock LP was at MAX SPEED and sometimes i could hear the sound it was making.

 

Will the Dark Rock 4 be enough ?

 

Or maybe i should just get the Dark Rock PRO 4 ?

It should be. It’s a more appropriate type cooler than your current one which Be Quiet themselves say is more suited to a Small Form Factor/HTPC. 
 

You’ll have 6 x 6mm heat pipes vs 4 with current cooler.

You’ll have a Silent Wings 135mm fan (1400RPM max) v Pure Wings 2 120mm fan (1500RPM max) [others with more knowledge of Be Quiet fans can elaborate on this]. But as the name suggests, the Silent Wings 3 is a quieter fan. It has a Fluid Dynamic bearing v Rifle bearing in your current cooler & a larger fan, which shouldn’t need to spin as fast as your current one to push the same air.

If money’s no object, then go for it, & you’ll have a cooler that’ll last another CPU upgrade, maybe more.

 

Keep in mind you only have 2mm clearance in your case, which means if you need to move the fan up to clear your RAM, it may not fit.

 

Let others respond here before making a decision. I’ve just gone of specifications & stuff I’ve picked up on over time. But its always better to hear from those who have used the parts you’re considering.

 

There are also cheaper options that may perform similarly or better, but since you have your eye on the Be Quiet range, I’ve just tried to provide info on them.

Thanks for the info !

 

I forgot to mention something possibly important.

 

I have 2 coolers each of 120 mm on the top of my case on the inside.

 

Will the regular Dark Rock 4 still have room if those 2 coolers are there up top ?

You have two 120mm fans up top?

 

If so, then you should be good in your case. 
 

Here are photos of my build showing fans above my CPU Cooler. One fan is 30mm thick & the other is 25mm thick (which I presume yours is)…

I think it would be a tight fit even without those fans.

It’s 7mm wider than my cooler, so use that as a gauge. It’d be a rare case where upper fans would get in the way of a CPU cooler. 
 

You have an standard ATX motherboard yeah?

It's a GIGABYTE B55M DS3H

 

I think it's an mATX

Ok. Potential issue then. You’re going to have to measure things up using the specifications I posted above.

This website says it should be compatible.

Is pcpartpicker usually reliable ?
