THE DARK ROCK PRO 2
The Dark Rock Pro 2 is quite massive and measures 147mm in length, 138mm in width and 166mm in height while weighing a total of 1250g.
Much like the NH-D14 and the Silver Arrow the Dark Rock Pro 2 is a dual tower solution (sandwich type).
Each tower has a total of 44 aluminum fins each spaced around 0.3mm from each other.
be quiet! ships the Dark Pro Rock 2 with two preinstalled fans.
The front 120mm fan can produce up to 57.2CFM of airflow at 1700RPM while the second 135mm fan can achieve speeds of up to 1500RPM with a maximum airflow of 67.8CFM. Both fans can output a maximum noise level of 26.40dBA according to be quiet!.
What i liked a lot with the be quiet! SilentWing fans is the carbon like coating of their blades.
The steel plate with the be quiet! logo placed at the top of the Dark Rock Pro 2 is not just for looks but also to keep the air from leaving the heatsinks.
As usual with sandwich type CPU Coolers you can add a 3rd fan on the Dark Rock Pro 2 to achieve the maximum possible performance.
A total of seven 6mm dark nickel plated copper heatpipes run from the base and up to both heatsinks.
The copper nickel plated base is almost even from side to side (slight center curve) and features a nice mirror like finish.
