The Dark Rock 5 is Be Quiet!'s single-tower air cooler for mainstream desktop CPUs. It pairs a 120 mm fan spinning up to 2100 rpm with a dense fin stack and a rated noise level of about 30 dB, so it leans toward quiet operation rather than maximum cooling. It fits Intel LGA 1150/1151/1155/1200/1700/1851 and AMD AM4/AM5 sockets, which covers most current builds. Against dual-tower rivals it gives up some thermal headroom on high-wattage chips, but it is simpler to install and easier to live with in a quiet case.
