Key Specifications

Powerful Dual-Fan Cooling Architecture

The Pure Rock Pro 3 Black features two specially designed Pure Wings 3 fans that work in tandem to maximise airflow across the heatsink. This dual-fan configuration creates a balanced pressure system that effectively draws heat away from your processor while maintaining whisper-quiet operation. The fans operate at speeds up to 2000 RPM, providing substantial cooling when your system is under heavy load.

Six Heat Pipes for Superior Heat Transfer

At the core of this cooler lies six high-quality copper heat pipes, each with a 6mm diameter, that efficiently transfer heat from the nickel-plated copper base to the aluminium fin stack. This design ensures rapid heat distribution across the entire cooling surface, allowing the Pure Rock Pro 3 Black to handle demanding thermal loads with ease. The heat pipes are arranged to optimise thermal conductivity and maintain consistent cooling performance.

Broad Socket Compatibility

The Pure Rock Pro 3 Black supports an extensive range of processor sockets, including LGA 1150, 1151, 1155, 1200, 1700, 1851, and AMD’s AM4 and AM5 platforms. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for both Intel and AMD users, whether you’re building a new system or upgrading an existing one. The mounting system is designed for secure installation across all supported platforms.

Premium Build Quality

Finished in sleek black with a sophisticated heatsink cover, this cooler combines aesthetic appeal with robust construction. The nickel-plated copper base not only enhances thermal performance but also provides excellent durability and resistance to oxidation. The entire assembly is built to be quiet, with a rifle bearing design that ensures smooth, long-lasting operation while minimising noise.
