EXTRAORDINARY COOLING PERFORMANCE
Our strongest air cooler

Dark Rock Elite features 7 high-performance copper heat pipes and 2 Silent Wings fans, specially designed for maximum air pressure and perfect airflow. This high-end cooler keeps the CPU at peak performance even in heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations.

SILENT WINGS PWM FANS
2 fans for massive cooling performance

The 2 Silent Wings 135mm PWM fans provide maximum airflow for unparalleled cooling. Although the fans are designed for performance, they are practically silent at typical speeds. In Quiet mode, the maximum noise generation is only 25.8 dB(A). This is achieved through advanced fluid-dynamic bearings and proven 6-pole fan motors.

COMFORTABLE HANDLING AND USER-FRIENDLINESS
Thanks to a rail system

The front fan can be easily adjusted in height, making Dark Rock Elite compatible with almost any configuration. Adjusting the fan is a breeze: thanks to the innovative rail system, the fan's position can be changed in 5 steps.

SPEED SWITCH
Make it the cooler you need

With a speed switch, you can choose between 2 modes that each affect the maximum speed and PWM curve. The Quiet mode provides a maximum fan speed of up to 1500 RPM and is the perfect choice for everyday applications. The Performance mode lets the Silent Wings fans spin at up to 2000 RPM, unleashing the full power of the Dark Rock Elite.

IMPRESSIVE LIGHTING AND BURLY LOOK
A design that speaks for itself

The top cover features ARGB LEDs that glow in endless colors and can be configured with any ARGB controller. Combined with its unmistakable design, the Dark Rock Elite is the highlight of any system, especially suited for exclusive show systems. The special black coating with ceramic particles not only gives the air cooler a visual highlight but also enables perfect heat dissipation.

COMPATIBLE WITH LIQUID METAL THERMAL PASTE
Incredible cooling performance

Thanks to a nickel-plated cooling plate, the Dark Rock Elite is compatible with liquid metal thermal paste such as the DC2 Pro. The properties of the liquid metal compound, combined with the Dark Rock Elite, allow high-end CPUs to achieve even higher performance.
