be quiet! Dark Rock 6 CPU Cooler - 220W TDP, 135mm PWM Fan
The be quiet! Dark Rock 6 is a single-tower CPU cooler for users who want serious cooling performance without the noise. It handles up to 220W TDP across Intel and AMD platforms, switching between quiet and performance modes with a physical button for complete control over fan speed and silence.
Why this product
Full fan stop in quiet mode
Below 40% PWM the fan stops completely for totally silent operation, toggled by a hardware switch without opening the case.
Fits tight spaces without sacrificing RAM
Asymmetrical design and heat sink cut-outs clear tall memory modules and VRM coolers on most modern boards.
Liquid metal compatible base
Nickel-plated surface works with liquid metal thermal grease for higher-end CPU performance.
Fast, straightforward installation
Preinstalled mounting bridge and rail-mounted fan reduce assembly steps and guesswork.
Quiet fan by design
Custom 135mm Silent Wings PWM fan spins up to 2000 RPM and uses be quiet!'s low-noise engineering.

Dark Rock 6 delivers powerful cooling in a compact design, offering high compatibility and virtually inaudible operation for an impressive gaming experience.
Semi-passive quiet mode with full fan stop for completely silent operation. Hardware switch to toggle between performance and quiet modes. High RAM and VRM cooler compatibility thanks to an asymmetrical design and cut-outs on the heat sink.
Thanks to its convenient, preinstalled mounting bridge and a firm yet gentle fixing method, cooler attachment is a breeze. The fan uses an efficient rail system for mounting, so installation is easier than ever with Dark Rock 6.
Dark Rock 6 does not compromise on style. A magnetic top cover masks heat pipe ends and the screw hole. Side covers complete the sleek, clean signature be quiet! design for Dark Rock CPU air coolers.
Thanks to a nickel-plated base, Dark Rock 6 is compatible with liquid metal thermal grease such as DC2 Pro. The properties of the liquid metal compound combined with Dark Rock 6 allow high-end CPUs to perform at even higher levels.
