The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4's packaging shows a clear picture of the cooler on the front, whilst also displaying the cooling potential of 250W TDP. The Dark Rock Pro 4 comes included with two premium Silent Wings fans which likely add to the advertised cooling, and silent performance. The rear of the box shows some accurate dimensions to help ensure the cooler will fit in your system, as well as a breakdown of the cooler.
The accessories box is well put together, and upon opening, you are greeted with a number of instruction separate instruction manuals covering most popular languages.
Alongside the numerous instruction manuals, you also receive a host of mounting brackets and pieces for all current CPU sockets, as well as some older ones. A 4pin PWM fan splitter is also included to allow both fans to be attached to your motherboards CPU fan header, as well as two sets of fan mounting wire brackets.
The smaller 120mm fan comes pre-installed, however as the 135mm fan needs to be removed for installation this is included separately packaged. It's nice to see a spare set of brackets for installing yet another fan at the rear of the cooler if required.
A large bequiet! screwdriver is also included as well as thermal compone for ease of installation.
The be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 follows the same aesthetic as other be quiet coolers and shows no signs of aluminium or copper thanks to an all black ceramic particle coating. These ceramic particles should help with heat transfer rather than a black paint coating acting as insulation. The only exception to the all black look is a small silver be quiet! logo on the top of the cooler.
The cooler is pretty weighty at 1.3kg, and nice and solid. There is no flex to the cooler and nice additions like rubber vibration dampening strips are provided for both fans on each side of the cooler.
