be quiet! Dark Rock PRO 4 review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/10/2018 01:00 PM [ 16 comment(s) ]

We review another be quiet! Dark Rock series cooler, this round the PRO 4. Again with totally black looks the flagship cooler comes with two radiators, two fans and takes up that cooling performance towards 200 Watts of cooling power, enough for any processor and some tweaking of course as well.

I wonder how it performs compared to Noctua NH-U12S and 14S.

In terms of cooling performance it's on par with the NH-U9S, which only has a 95mm fan, thus being louder.
Since the NH-U14S has a similarly sized fan (135mm vs 140mm) that would be the best comparison to do.

Looks like it wouldn't allow for those dimms to used in dimm slot 1 if you put the fan on the correct side. Sorry but I wont consider any tower cooler as good if it blocks wholly or partially dimm slot 1 surely it can't be that hard to design it so that with a fan on the front it doesn't block any dimm slot, it's easy to do either move the fin stack higher (like in the Tuniq Tower/Tower II) or back further by angling the heat pipes so that theres atleast 124mm between the fin stack an dimm slot 1 I don't know why HSF makers can't seem to get that through their thick heads

Not bad at all performance wise, just a few degrees off the NH-D15 as the article says - it's good that they've differentiated themselves from the NH-D15 by painting it black, it's a selling point for folks that like that look. I prefer the look of the bare metal of the Noctua coolers, but I am biased as I have the NH-D14!
