Dimensions, fit, and manufacturer specifications
| Exact model / SKU | Dark Rock Pro 5 |
|---|---|
| Overall dimensions | 145 × 136 × 168 mm (L × W × H), installed with its fans. |
| Installed height / case clearance | 168 mm; reserve at least this much CPU-cooler clearance and check the case specification. |
| Supplied fan(s) | One 120 mm front Silent Wings PWM fan and one 135 mm center Silent Wings PWM fan; speed switch selects Quiet or Performance mode. |
| Noise / airflow (manufacturer figures) | The maker describes the two operating modes but does not publish a single comparable noise/airflow figure in the cited product summary; do not infer whole-cooler acoustics from fan speed. |
| Heat pipes | Seven 6 mm copper heat pipes. |
| Socket bracket compatibility | Intel LGA 1851 / 1700 / 1200 / 1150 / 1151 / 1155; AMD AM5 / AM4. Confirm the exact supplied mounting kit and manual revision. |
| RAM / motherboard clearance | The front fan can be raised for taller memory; doing so increases installed height. Check the actual fan position against DIMM and side-panel clearance; no universal DIMM-height figure is specified here. |
Cooler height is not a complete fit check: account for fan lift, side-panel clearance, motherboard heatsinks, DIMM position, and any case tolerance.
Installation and service notes
- Install only with the model-specific manual and retention hardware for the selected CPU socket. Confirm orientation and bracket standoff before tightening.
- Apply thermal interface material as directed by the cooler maker. Tighten evenly, connect PWM leads to suitable headers, and verify fan tachometer operation.
- Disconnect power and restrain fan blades during cleaning. Check for fin damage, cable contact, or loosened fasteners during service.
