be quiet! Dark Rock 3

crazyeyesreaper · Mar 21, 2014

be quiet!'s Dark Rock 3 is a great single-tower cooler as it offers up stylish looks with the performance to back it up. Take into consideration its exceptional build quality and warranty and you have a cooler that might just be best in class.

How do you find these fans compared to the Corsair SP ones?

The air flow is good on these, but What's the Static pressure in mm/H20?

Great review as always Ray :toast:

Dayum, I'm considering going back to air-cooling if I change cases. This is definitely on my short-list. Nice review!

I shouldn't even bother looking at air coolers, but I want this. :eek:

I bet this thing is an absolute bitch to fit...

The SP fans are pretty much better for mmh2o its 3.1 mm/H2O at 2350 RPM but the Be Quiet fans are absolutely silent.

Be quiet 140mm Silentwings is 2.1 mmh2o
