Whisper-Quiet Operation
The Dark Rock Slim achieves remarkably low noise levels of just 11 dB at low speed and 23.6 dB at maximum RPM. This is made possible by the advanced Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) technology, which provides smooth, silent operation while extending the fan’s lifespan. Whether you’re gaming, streaming, or working, your system stays cool without the distraction of noisy fans.
Space-Saving Design for Compact Builds
Measuring just 159.4 mm in height, the Dark Rock Slim fits comfortably in most mid-tower cases where larger coolers might struggle. The 120 mm fan with 51 aluminium fins creates an efficient cooling surface without overwhelming your build. This makes it ideal for ITX systems, HTPCs, or any build where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised.
Universal Socket Compatibility
The cooler supports an extensive range of processor sockets including Intel LGA 1150 through 1700 and LGA 2011/2066 series, plus AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms. This broad compatibility ensures the Dark Rock Slim works with virtually any modern CPU, from mainstream processors to high-end chips. The included mounting kit provides everything needed for straightforward installation across all supported platforms.
Premium Build Quality
Featuring a copper base plate for optimal heat transfer and four 6 mm heat pipes, the Dark Rock Slim efficiently draws heat away from your processor. The black aluminium fin stack not only looks sophisticated but also provides excellent thermal performance. With CE certification and RoHS compliance, this cooler meets strict European safety and environmental standards.
