The Dark Rock Pro 2 comes with 2 fans of bequiet!, The famous SilentWings



Quiet-optimized SilentWings® 2 fans with PWM function and ultra-high performance heatpipes with a oxygen-free copper lining generate massive 220W TDP cooling capacity. Specially developed wave-contoured fins minimize turbulence noise and maximize heat transfer.

- Testes e Conclusões

Since the objectives of the coolers are cooling and silence, was used an app in Android to get a sense of the noise

To test since the block used the following system:

- Intel 2500K @ 3.3Ghz
- ECS P67H2-A
- Antec High Current Pro 850W


Comparing the two coolers that I have here at the moment:

- Noise

By Noise Meter

Xigmatek Balder com 2 fans Xigmatek = 75db at normal speed

bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 with 2 fans bequiet! Silent Wings = 45db at normal and 65db at full speed

- Temperatures usando 3DMark Vantage @ cpu




-Idle




- Load





- Conclusões


After the tests, we can say what we expected!
This cooler comes as an improvement to its former successor.
With temperatures and a fantastic silent simply fantastic, we have one of the best coolers on the market!
I can say that the Dark Rock Pro 2 is an authentic masterpiece when it comes to cooling!

With that attach to cooler bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 certificate of r1sKas Choice Gold!

Not sure what kind of "load" you were putting on it to get those temps, but it doesn't seem realistic. Tweaktown has it at about 49c load, equaling the Thermalright Silver Arrow on temps, but being slightly quieter at load.

Looks like a fairly decent cooler, but it's not available here in the US apparently.

[r1sKas]

the load temps are at the max in the last pic..

i just wasnt fast enought to take print after the 3DMark test.

with my xigmatek balder i had 50.

the difference can be caused for my case... im using the Phobya benchtable for the test, so it have more fresh air there

No oc temps ?

[drdeathx]

The mounting parts look very familiar.. LOL. Who can take a shot at who really makes the unit?

[r1sKas]

This is the temps from a my friend that has a different cpu, wit ha 40min Prime test.

52º at 4500Mhz

good no?
