The mounting system was a breeze to install onto the motherboard over the AM4 socket. The included magnetic-tip screwdriver was a nice addition and made installing the cooler quite easy. The directions were straightforward and was provided in multiple languages ranging from German to French to English and a few others. Installation of this cooler was quite easy, in my opinion. It’s actually a really nice screwdriver too. I love the fact that be quiet! gave us a nice little, magnet tipped screwdriver. Included in the packaging is the following: The Dark Rock Pro 4’s packaging is quite stellar. The Dark Rock Pro 4 is rated for 250 watts TDP.

But how did the Dark Rock Pro 4 hold up? Let’s find out. So, as you can tell, the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 won out in my shopping experience. At any rate, I was torn between this and Noctua’s NH-D15 cooler. I have been wanting a premium air CPU cooler for some time now as I’m not very keen on keeping my system water cooled, even though I know it is not too likely for the water cooling system to fail. Today I am very excited to bring to you my review of the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4.
