We test and review the Be Quiet! Dark Rock TF CPU Cooler review. The cooler is their strongest performer on the block, the flagship product intended to cool down the most gnarly processors. It is extremely cool in performance, and it remains the most silent enthusiast heat-pipe cooler we have ever test, but there is one gripe with this product alright, read all about it in this review.

You know, there really aren't any bad performing coolers being produced anymore. For every segment and budget you can find something you need. The market stabilized and within the entire range and scope of heatpipe based coolers there's a certain comfort zone with a corresponding product available. As a result, most of the coolers available on the market are all adequate at the very least. There are always exceptions to this, there's a handful of manufacturers out there that offer the really interesting stuff, the kit and gear that really stand out from the cooling crowd, the hardware you and me crave and need so badly... that is in the enthusiast domain of gaming hardware. And that's where we need to make a stop at Be Quiet! as they tick boxes man!

The Dark Rock TF has a large profile design and offers very high capacity cooling, whilst remaining totally silent. The Dark Rock TFis designed to be a top flow cooler hence TF and as such it can it can handle thermal loads up to 220W. The cooler is made out of two stacked dark nickel-plated heatsinks with a two-fold of the latest revision 135 mm be quiet! Silent Wings fans. A smaller heatsink sits at the bottom and the larger heatsink sits at the top of the cooler. This is one of the most quiet coolers we have ever tested, even with a Core i7 4790K that we'll throw at it. Have a peek below and then we'll head onwards into the review.
