Dark Rock Elite CPU Cooler – Peak Performance, Legendary Cooling

Dark Rock Elite delivers extreme cooling performance, advanced fan technology, and a distinctive, premium design. Engineered for demanding systems, it keeps your CPU performing at its best while maintaining impressively low noise levels.

Key Features

2 Silent Wings 135 mm PWM fans for maximum air pressure and optimized airflow
Innovative front fan rail system for easy height adjustment and RAM compatibility
7 high-performance copper heat pipes for immense cooling power
Dual operating modes via Speed Switch:
Quiet Mode for virtually inaudible operation
Performance Mode for maximum cooling
ARGB LED top cover for customizable lighting effects
Special black ceramic coating for excellent heat transfer and an elegant look
Bold, unmistakable design that stands out in any system
Compatible with liquid metal thermal grease (e.g. DC2 Pro) thanks to a nickel-plated base

Extraordinary Cooling Power

As the strongest air cooler in its class, Dark Rock Elite uses 7 high-performance copper heat pipes and 2 Silent Wings fans designed for high air pressure and ideal airflow. This powerful combination ensures that your CPU stays at peak performance, even in heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations.

Silent Wings PWM Fans

Dual Fans for Massive Cooling

Two Silent Wings 135 mm PWM fans deliver maximum airflow for outstanding cooling performance. Despite their power, they remain remarkably quiet in everyday use:

Virtually inaudible at regular speeds
Just 25.8 dB(A) in Quiet Mode at maximum speed

This is achieved through:

Advanced fluid-dynamic bearings
Smooth 6-pole fan motors

Convenient Handling & Usability

Adjustable Front Fan with Rail System

Dark Rock Elite’s front fan can be easily adjusted in height, making it compatible with almost any configuration. The innovative rail system allows the fan position to be changed in 5 steps, ensuring straightforward installation and optimal component clearance.

Speed Switch – Tailor Your Cooling

The integrated Speed Switch lets you choose between two performance profiles, each with its own maximum fan speed and PWM curve:

Quiet Mode
Maximum fan speed: 1500 rpm
Ideal for ultra-quiet builds
Performance Mode
Maximum fan speed: 2000 rpm
Unlocks the full cooling potential of Dark Rock Elite

Impressive ARGB Lighting & Bold Design

The top cover features ARGB LEDs that illuminate your system in countless colors and effects, configurable via any ARGB controller. Combined with its distinctive, beefy design, Dark Rock Elite becomes a visual centerpiece, particularly suited for showcase builds.

The black coating with ceramic particles not only enhances the cooler’s aesthetics but also contributes to highly efficient heat transfer.

Liquid Metal Compatible Base

The nickel-plated base of Dark Rock Elite is compatible with liquid metal thermal compounds such as DC2 Pro. Paired with liquid metal, this cooler enables high-end CPUs to reach even higher performance levels.
