The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 is the gold standard for air cooling in Canada. This dual-tower behemoth uses two Silent Wings 4 PWM fans and seven copper heat pipes.
In our testing with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, the Dark Rock Pro 5 kept temperatures at 72°C under full load while remaining virtually inaudible. At $119 CAD, it's a one-time investment that will last through multiple CPU upgrades.
