Dark Rock Pro 6 is a high-end CPU air cooler for heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations that need both extreme cooling power and virtually silent operation. Its dual-mode design lets you switch between active performance cooling and semi-passive quiet mode, where the fans stop entirely below 40% PWM for completely silent running. Built around seven copper heat pipes and custom-designed Silent Wings fans, it handles up to 300W TDP while keeping noise levels between 7.5 and 32.4 dB(A).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-mode operation: performance or silent\u003c\/strong\u003e — A hardware switch toggles between active cooling mode for maximum performance and semi-passive mode where fans stop completely below 40% PWM, letting you choose quiet or cool depending on your workload.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeven high-performance copper heat pipes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dual-material construction—copper heat pipes and aluminium fins—delivers immensely high cooling power for heavily overclocked CPUs and sustained workstation loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVirtually inaudible Silent Wings fans\u003c\/strong\u003e — Custom 120mm and 135mm PWM fans use advanced fluid-dynamic bearings, 6-pole motors and optimized blades to deliver perfect airflow at up to 2000 RPM while staying nearly silent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide socket compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — Supports Intel LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150 and AMD AM5, AM4 with pre-installed mounting bridge for quick installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerous clearance for tall RAM and VRM coolers\u003c\/strong\u003e — Front fan uses rail system mounting with generous heat sink cut-outs, so it does not interfere with high-profile memory or voltage regulator module coolers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eTDP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e300W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eHeat pipes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eFans included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2 (120mm + 135mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eMax fan speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2000 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eNoise level\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e7.5–32.4 dB(A)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e1.34 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e3 years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Intel: LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1155, LGA1151, LGA1150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ AMD: AM5, AM4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ 4-pin PWM fan header required on motherboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: Fits in cases with at least 169mm height clearance for the cooler body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eBest For \/ Trade-offs\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverclocked CPUs and sustained high-performance workstations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilders who want silent operation without liquid cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSystems with tall RAM modules or tall VRM coolers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsers who value flexibility: switch between silent and maximum cooling modes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrade-offs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCompact cases:\u003c\/b\u003e Dimensions are 147 × 140 × 169 mm, which exceeds the space available in many small-form-factor builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBudget-conscious builds:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a high-end cooler positioned for enthusiasts;
