Overview

Quiet, efficient and easy to install


The Dark Rock 4 from Be Quiet! is the new iteration of the German manufacturer's flagship fan. This new version offers more performance, easier assembly and a perfect silence thanks to the use of a 135mm SilentWings fan.

Elegance and silence

The Dark Rock 4 mounting kit is completely black to match the black ventirad with a beautiful brushed aluminium cover. The compact single tower design allows for excellent heat dissipation in your gaming case with the option to add a second 120mm fan to improve the already near perfect dissipation.

The Dark Rock 4 is equipped with six 6mm copper heatpipes for maximum thermal conductance. They are coupled with the fins to optimise the heat exchange surface and thus offer optimal heat dissipation. The Dark Rock in its latest version can handle a maximum TDP of 200W. All of this takes place in an appreciable silence as the 135mm SilentWings fan generates a maximum of 21.4 dBA.

Main features :

  • 6 mm copper heatpipes for optimal heat dissipation
  • 135 mm SilentWings PWM fan reaches 21.4 dBA at full speed
  • Compatible with an additional 120 mm fan (clips included)
  • Easy to install
  • 200W TDP
  • 3-year manufacturer's warranty

    Big and Strong

    The Bequiet Dark Rock 4 ventirad offers efficient, silent cooling for high-end processors. Its understated design and build quality make it a reliable choice for long-term performance.

    Quiet Efficient but a little big

    This ventirad does its job very well on an I7 10700KF processor (32°C idle and 81°C max in play after 3 years of use) and ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-F GAMING motherboard, Corsair Vengeance LPX Series Low Profile RAM 16 GB (2x 8 GB) DDR4 3000 MHz CL15. Quiet. The only downside is that it takes up a lot of space in the case (Fractal Design Define R6 Black case) and may interfere with the fan on the fourth RAM slot. To upgrade to 32GB of RAM (same brand and reference but double the capacity), I used 2 replacement memory sticks (slots 1 and 3). The LDLC advisers (thanks to them, very professional and friendly) told me that the fan could be moved slightly higher to gain access to the fourth slot, but I'd rather not touch it. I'll change my mind once I've replaced my sticks.

    Perfect

    When used on an I7 9700k and an I5 13400, temperatures do not exceed 60°C in benchmark mode, making it a very high-performance ventirad.

    Excellent product

    Excellent fan, perfect cooling. Quite bulky: take a good look at the dimensions and choose a suitable tower.

    Impeccable

    I changed another brand of ventirad 2 years ago because the plastic fixing had broken. I was looking for a more robust aluminium/copper model. The ventilation is very good and the fan makes very little noise. The performance is very good.
    I would recommend it!
