2018-01-14
what's going on everyone we are here in the be quiet sweet Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for CES 2018 we've got two super cool new coolers with improved mounting systems that I want to talk about here also improve TD peace but the regular dark rod for so this is the fourth series of the dark ROC coolers that you can buy this one's massive I've actually featured the dark ROC 3 variant of this cooler in the past this is a 250 watt TDP cooler with the nice aluminum shroud on top and the improved mounting system I was talking about a bit earlier you can actually unscrew the two caps here in the top middle and then you get an included be quiet Phillips head screwdriver with an extension there if you can push it all the way down to the mounting bracket which we'll show in a second and the mounting bracket only consists of two Phillips head screws so much better than how it used to be having to squeeze that little wrench way down in there torque this was very difficult to do so now having two screws as vastly expedited the process meaning that you can stick one of these on your system in a matter of minutes and I'll be sure to test that out myself once we can get our hands on this particular unit I love how big and beefy this is and how beautiful it looks from the top now the dark rock 4 which is the younger brother of the dark rock pro 4 pretty much boasts all the things that it's bigger brother does have on board you have that way fan design to keep things nice and quiet you got the intentions on the bottom to increase surface area to allow heat to be dispersed much more efficiently than if you had just a flat design and this one has six six heat pipes instead of seven but you still managed to pull out a 200 watt TDP with this cooler and a single silent wings 3 135 millimeter fan included so are pretty impressive for what you're getting here and this one does not have any ramp clearance issues one thing I do want to note regarding the pro 4 is we have a little indention on this side and on this side depending on which way you want to flip it really doesn't matter and this is good for ram that's a bit more ostentatious so maybe Triton's dd-dear for some really large Corsair modules maybe all of that should have much more breathing room at least here with that small intention which make a big difference if you have any sort of RGB lighting or accident that make it a bit larger than normal I always have a lot of fun utilizing be quite components check out this build right here by the way if you haven't already this is a super silent build using primarily be quiet components I don't know what wills doing but he's yeah it's right right there I've got multiple all right awesome I can't waiting my hands on this thing here I appreciate Chris and the others hooking us up and allowing us to tour their suite for CES 2018 stay tuned for more content it's a science studio thanks for touring with us
