Be Quiet Releases Three New CPU Coolers: Dark Rock Pro 3
Be Quiet has announced that there are new CPU coolers ranging from 160 to 250 watts. This includes the newest flagship cooler in Be Quiet's cooler portfolio, the 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.
The Dark Rock 3 now also packs the same wave-contoured edges on its fins along with six 6 mm heat pipes and a Silent Wings PWM fan for dissipation up to 190 watts with maximum noise levels of 21.1 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.
