No Compromise Silence and Performance
The be quiet! Dark Rock Slim delivers exceptional 180W TDP cooling in a slim 72mm thick design, perfect for high-end builds with limited space. Featuring a premium Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM fan (up to 1500 RPM), it operates virtually inaudibly at 11 dB low speed and just 23.6 dB max. The black-coated aluminum fins with wave-contouring and 4x 6mm copper heatpipes ensure superior heat transfer and airflow.[5][1]
Zero-clearance design avoids blocking RAM slots, making it ideal for mini-ITX/micro-ATX cases. Reviews confirm it outperforms larger models like Dark Rock 4 in noise-normalized tests while handling mainstream/overclocked CPUs effectively (e.g., i9-9900K at 5GHz).[1][2][3] Easy top-down installation with included thermal grease and clips for optional second fan.[5]
