Achieving an incredible performance-to-noise ratio
Thanks to its double-tower layout, this cooler is a true cooling marvel with 230W TDP - just perfect for the extreme conditions found in gaming PCs with overclocked CPUs that require a top flow cooler. Its design provides ideal cooling, not only for the CPU, but also for surrounding components.
Cooled by Silent Wings
With a funnel shaped Silent Wings 3 135mm as the upper fan, Dark Rock TF 2 provides highest cooling performance. A second Silent Wings fan takes care of airflow inbetween the two heat sinks. Both fans feature advanced fluid-dynamic bearings, smooth six-pole motors and up to nine airflow-optimized fan blades. The noise is a meager 27.1dB(A) even at 100% PWM fan speed. Anti-vibration rubber inserts on the cooling fins of the heat sink further dampen noise.
