Be Quiet Releases Three New CPU Coolers: Dark Rock Pro 3

The Dark Rock Pro 3 boasts wave-contoured aluminum fins to minimize turbulence and improve convective cooling, as well as seven 6 mm heat pipes and a base plate with an extra aluminum heat sink. Be Quiet says that combined with the Silent Wings PWM fans in 120 and 135 mm flavors, the Dark Rock Pro 3 boasts a cooling capacity of 250 watts TDP with maximum noise levels of 26.1 decibels.

Lastly, there's the Shadow Rock Slim, which Be Quiet is pitching as a space saver. This is a single tower cooler with six heat pipes, aluminum fins and a 135 mm Be Quiet fan. Cooling capacity is 160 watts and max noise is 23.7 decibels.

Pricing for these three is $89 for the Dark Rock Pro 3, $69 for the Dark Rock 3, and $45.90 for the Shadow Rock Slim. Al three are available now and are compatible with current Intel and AMD sockets.
