When I last checked, the DRP3 was cheaper than the NHD15. At least in the German Amazon.

If you have a case big enough and proper airflow, I would recommend the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 over any AIO cpu cooler. It will be quieter, and should keep your CPU cooler under OC.

This is a solid gaming PC with a middle-class gpu, which is more than enough for casual gaming.

I picked AMD here because I prefer the working open source drivers for Linux, but if you are more convinced of Nvidias Driver support a GTX 960 would be the equivalent.

The PC should run cool and quiet with the stock cooler on the processor. If not, it is not that complicated to switch – either to a good budget cooler like an Arctic Freezer 13 or something heavy like the Dark Rock Pro 3. Especially the second is needed only when overclocking (which would depend on another mainboard and psu and is not needed at all).

Yeah I believe that H7 would be a step to right direction, but honestly I would go with somethin like this
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-heatpipe-NF-A15-140mm/dp/B00L7UZMAK

Or this https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HPX7J4K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494584874&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=be+quiet+dark+rock+pro+3&dpPl=1&dpID=41f-YJuctCL&ref=plSrch

They are really expensive, that is true, but they pack serious cooling power. You have quaranteed silent operation and possibility of overclocking as much as you want. These two coolers THE best ones around beating all of the $150 aios too. It's just cool to have that I7 running over 5ghz with good temps and silently. But yeah that cryorig is surely going to let you oc till something like 4,6ghz still staying reasonably quiet. Choise is yours.

Your pc just literally has the best components available, I feel like it would deserve good cooler to keep it cozy;)

Ps funny thing about those noctua fans is that they alone cost 20 bucks a piece, and are seriously awesome fans, quiet, efficient and long lasting, I'm running two of the indusrial versions on my build

I adjusted the build a bit to fit my needs a bit more, what do you say:

So I really like the look of the be quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU cooler but I'm worried it would be too big. Apparently some people have had problems with it covering RAM slots and similar, would I have this problem?


My motherboard is the Asus Z170 PRO Gaming mobo, would I be able to get a yes or no answer as to whether it would fit or not without obstructing other ports? Also, the case I think I'll get is the Fractal Design Define S.

It's a big un. It lets me OC to 4.4

It's a Be quiet dark rock pro 3 silent.

Well worth the money https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Fans-Cooling/Quiet-BK019-Dark-Rock-Pro3-Heatsink/B00HPX7J4K

u/n0ah895 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I was looking at the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3, but it comes in a lot of different W ranges (120W-250W) Any idea which one I should get?

Ok my stuff is jacked up right now it's saying I got 9 comments but I can't see any of them. So what do you guys think if I can resell my off whites for a good price I might just build another rig however until then this is what I chose.

Please shit all over it and tell me something better. My motherboard is also RGB controllable or whatever for the front radiator unless putting the radiator in the front is a huge no no even if you rig it so it exhausts out the up and out the front. Okay here are the things I've decided on just by glancing over every category.

Air coolers I saw ones that looked better and even had better specs but were only $20 also it seems like noctua is still pretty strong/on top but I don't know who's on top of the cpu cooling game. I'll be posting more soon or I'll just finish it quick. I'm assuming artic mx4 compound is best now or is it still the silver artic 5?

  1. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=psdc_11036281_t5_B00L7UZMAK
  2. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B12DQ38/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?pd_rd_i=B076KNKR73&pd_rd_wg=XY5On&pd_rd_r=VAR26GMWD450BQE9HFE4&pd_rd_w=TiNwH&th=1

    Lastly don't laugh but i figured why not install this or are heatsinks on GPUs pointless even if I ran a liquid cooler/block? Yay or nay?

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IAAU6SS/ref=psdc_3015421011_t2_B07BQVT22F?th=1

    Figured might as well slap this over the ram

    https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Airflow-Cooling-CMYAF/dp/B00GU9UG9A/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1526987839&sr=1-3&keywords=ram+cooler

    So that leaves me with the final obvious issue of many, odds are a cpu cooler that big won't fit next to my 4 dimms so is it fine to have a 240mm radiator exhausting out the front of the case. Idk why I said radiator I mean the entire computer because it's just got about an inch glass space between the mesh and two fans.
u/RetnuhTnelisV · 1 pointr/buildapc

I am using a Kraken x62 for my 7700k. I like AIOs and this one looks great. For air tho which is not bad, Dark Rock Pro 3 is really good as is the Noctua Air Cooler

u/Aurelleah · 1 pointr/intel

You seem to be discounting what I'm saying and are being very accusatory over this.

You can literally do whatever you want dude. I could not care less if you make that decision.

But for the sake of responding:

You are also assuming your cooler is the same as all others

Actually I said that the only cooler I could find that outperformed air coolers was one that caused severe vibration.

>will be replaced with noctua

A fool and his money are easily parted, so the saying goes


but I think you might just be trying to find excuses to follow fears of water cooling

.......why? This comment here is so ridiculous it actually makes me kinda irked. Like I cannot understand why you would think that I'm "finding excuses to follow fears of watercooling"(???????)

My case has rubber feet, foam inserts under the feet, and rubber on all the connections. I also have a degree in mechanical engineering and have worked on pumps of a much higher magnitude and have a thorough knowledge of pumps, vibration, things like that. I went through training to be a millwright. My education taught me about thermodynamics, too.

The reason that pump causes vibrations is due to the speed it has to spin to be able to achieve the same level of cooling, well over 3000 rpm.

>I'm not discounting what you are saying, as I haven't even got the system yet to prove the other side

Then why the hell are you replying? I gave you the advice of one who has made the mistake of pursuing watercooling in the past; and recommended you save your money by buying air and not water. Let's chalk up how much each route would cost you.

On amazon, an H100i is 110$, noctua fans are 20$ a piece. That's 190$ plus whatever taxes if you swap all fans for push/pull.

Or, you could buy like ANY other air cooler such as the Dark Rock Pro 3 https://www.amazon.com/quiet-BK019-Dark-Rock-Pro/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1502592890&sr=1-1&keywords=dark+rock+pro+3 for 90$ which is engineered very nicely, doesn't have pump vibrations/pump knock/wont fail in 3 years, has some of the best fans pre-installed on the market, and is big enough and powerful enough to keep cooling your cpu even with no fans running at all.


This isnt something you even need to reply to dude, take my advice or dont, thats your call. If you feel like paying double for a higher risk thing just cause you want the novelty of watercooling, following the crowd and buying crazy expensive fans that honestly dont cool much better than the originals, thats your own decision. I gave my advice because I was hoping you'd appreciate not having to make the same mistakes.

Take care.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=psdc_11036281_t3_B00L7UZMAK how about this piece instead? i did some research and found out that air coolers are better for what i want to achieve

u/mrsnueffel · 1 pointr/buildapc

the Corsair Carbide Spec-05 only support CPU Coolers up to 150mm, so how about the https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=psdc_430204031_t3_B06X9MPQ5Z ?

u/TransientBananaBread · 1 pointr/buildapc

It's probably for the best as a 212 would be a pretty bad cooler for a 6 core processor. For a processor that beastly, I would recommend a higher end air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 3 or Noctua DH-15 or looking into an AIO cooler like the H100i.

u/juhamac · 1 pointr/Amd

Dark Rock Pro3 is 49.99€ on Amazon.de if someone in Europe happens to be looking for one. Same 250W TDP spec as with Pro 4. AM4-installing video.

u/overclocky · 1 pointr/overclocking

My specs (keep in mind that CPU cooler is bequiet! Dark Rock Pro 3: http://www.amazon.co.uk/quiet-BK019-Quiet-Dark-Cooler/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1414410693&sr=8-4&keywords=be+quiet+cpu+cooler - do you think this is sufficient for such an overclock?):

CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K @ 3.20GHz (overclocked @ 4.4GHz)

Motherboard: Gigabyte X79-UP4

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (MSI stock overclock)

RAM: 16 GB DDR3 @ 800MHz

Does this sound stable to you? if not, which program should I use to adjust the overclock of the CPU?

I have found the BIOS profile settings. That will prove useful if I need to completely remove the overclock. Thank you.

u/CyberArmProsthesis · 1 pointr/Amd
u/bobbytheman123 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Even for little parts like CPU coolers? Impressive. I thought it was for main stuff like CPU/GPU and Mobos. And i'm sure i'll find a way to cock up!

Side question: what do the wattage things mean on this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Be-Quiet-BK019-Dark-Heatsink/dp/B00HPX7J4K/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1523462618&sr=8-4&keywords=be+quiet+cpu+cooler

So, if i had an 8700k with a small overclock, which would be sufficient?

u/Hyppy · 1 pointr/buildapc

The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 is well known for being a very, well, quiet cooler. Here's the Anandtech review in their roundup last year.

Really though, any aftermarket cooler is probably going to be extremely quiet when running on a stock processor. Cryorig, Noctua, and Phanteks all make great units.

u/Nawsnap · 1 pointr/buildapc

I wouldn't replace the Noctua fan, it's a quality fan. I also wouldn't spray paint it.

If you really want a matching cooler get something like the Phanteks PH-TC14PE or the Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 instead.

u/pontiactaylor110ce · 1 pointr/buildapc

The Dark Rock pro 3 is worth a look or the 4 when it comes out relatively soon.

I have the DRP3 and it is excellent. Solid black too.
