        Highly effective

        My processor doesn't heat up at all!
        It's bulky, but that doesn't matter, given its efficiency.

        Excellent product

        Very large ventirad, not to say immense. Solid, high-quality construction. Very easy to mount on an Intel, thanks to the backplate and large screwdriver supplied. A syringe of thermal paste is also supplied, but there's no little squeegee to spread it, which is the only negative point. Two very quiet fans and very good cooling. I have another, smaller one of the same brand, which has been running trouble-free for over 7 years. I hope this one will last just as long.

        Cools very well and silently

        I use it on a ryzen 3900x for professional work that requires a lot of resources.
        It's like night and day compared to the waith prism from amd, which let the processor rise to more than 85°, making a lot of noise. With this dark rock, I don't go above 65 in silence. (plus the be quiet silence box).

        Insufficient

        This Ventirad was insufficient to cool an i7 14700k processor. A pity, because on paper it was sufficient.

        The ideal competitor for noctua

        Go ahead with your eyes shut to cool down a silent and efficient i5 14600KF.

        The durable choice for your 2024 gaming configuration

        Very good cooling

        Very good CPU cooling. Silent mode provides adequate cooling for simple tasks in silence, while performance mode provides good cooling without being noisy either.
        Switching between modes is very easy.

        Easy to install, silent, solid

        The ventirad is very easy to install, the big plus being the screwdriver supplied, which gives easy access to the screws. Once fitted, it does the job very well and the Proc stays at the right temperature despite being subjected to a lot of stress (4K video editing).

        monolithic

        Attractive and practical, with mechanical fastenings for the fans, the top cover improves performance and reduces noise and dust. Performance is satisfactory without placing excessive demands on ventilation.

        Excelent ventirad

        I opted for this ventirad on an i5 14600K processor and I don't regret my choice.
        The processor is very well cooled (between 30 and 60°C) and there's virtually no noise pollution.
        Depending on your motherboard, remember to check that this ventirad leaves room for your RAM bars.

        Perfect

        Quiet, sober and easy to install. But don't forget to check the dimensions and use low-profile RAM.

        A monster in size and efficiency

        Ordered and received in 3 days at the beginning of the year.
        Very impressive at first glance, it replaces my old AMD Wraith Prism ventirad, which used to light up the room and make a lot of noise every time I started a game!
        Assembly is well explained, and I didn't use the paste supplied with it but the one I had (the Zalman ZM-STC9 recommended by the LDLC seller).
        I'm cooling a Ryzen 5 5600X. I left the performance mode on and I can't hear the ventirad at all. My processor does not exceed 60° at full load (up 20° on the old ventirad).
        In short, it's not the cheapest but it's definitely worth it!

        Good ventirad, but...

        Good ventirad, but not very effective quality control, which cost it 2 stars: one of the two AM5 brackets was not threaded, making it impossible to attach the ventirad to it. Problem solved in shop.

        effective, but not inaudible.

        Imposing, you have to check BEFORE you buy if it fits in the case!
        Fortunately for me, the 168 cm fits right into a Corsair Obsidian 450D rated for ... 165 cm max.
        Otherwise, it cools a Ryzen 7 7800X3D correctly, and noise pollution remains contained, but it's not inaudible either.
        It took just a few minutes to install, with no particular problems.
        Very satisfied.

        Good but imposing

        Mounted on gigabyte z690 ud ddr4 motherboard in an asus tuf gaming gt 502 case, it is imposing, it is 1 millimetre from the glass. Very little noise in performance mode. Check the dimensions carefully.

        Received quickly, effective but not easy to fix

        Functional cooler. Quiet but also very imposing. The only downside is that it's really not easy to fit on the motherboard, the two screws are really hard to get in, it took me 30 minutes.

        Aptly named

        Mounted on a PC designed for image processing with Photoshop, Lightroom and NX Studio, it's extremely quiet, as its name suggests!

        Holds even i9-9900KF factory overclocking

        Used to replace my Dark Rock 4 (also a very good product) and free up 1 RAM slot on my motherboard (MSI Z390 PRO-A) for an upgrade.
        Adapts well to socket LGA 1151, quick, easy assembly (pre-mounted screws) and robust (don't forget to remove the plastic label from the pad, it won't conduct heat as well otherwise...).
        Thanks to this ventirad, my i9-9900KF holds 32°C at rest (PWM at 30%), 65-70°C in play (overclocked to 4.8 GHz, PWM 70%), combined with an RTX 4060 Ti in a Silent Base 600 case, temperatures are below 70°C in the case, and all without any noise. As usual, Be Quiet! is always at the top of its game, and I have no regrets about staying with them!

        Just Nickel

        As I'm not a big fan of water-based systems for various reasons, including pump reliability and the risk of freezing in the ducts (this PC is used at high temperatures), I opted for this newborn Be Quiet.
        At rest, the 13600k it overlaps does not exceed 30°C in a tower with 3 fans (2 front and one 14 rear).
        Under full load, I've never exceeded 75°C so far.
        The only noise I hear is my 2 mechanical storage HDDs when they're active. Otherwise, the ventilation system is perfectly silent, even when the CPU is firing on all cylinders.
        In short, I needed an efficient cooling system that would work at both high and low ambient temperatures, and I've got it!

        top ventirad

        I decided to replace my corsair watercooling with a bequiet ventirad and frankly the performance is much better than my old watercooling.
