Conclusion

To conclude there aren’t too many bad things we can say about this cooler, besides its massive dimensions and sub-optimal mounting system. That said, this air cooler is top-notch and definitely belongs in the top segment of the market. The price may be a bit high but for that will deliver it’s promises in Dark Rock-solid Proformance!

In my opinion the pro’s easily outweight the cons here.

Pros

• Excellent cooling performance
• Inaudible at highest RPM setting
• Looks well designed and solid
• Double fan, one PWM

Cons

• Size and dimensions
• Sub-optical installation
• Price
• May block some RAM
