Temperatures
All temperature charts are sorted with lowest load temperatures at the top.
With our 7700K at 4GHz performance looks pretty good, at full load its the best-performing air cooler we have tested but it does sit behind the dual fan liquid coolers, this being said only by about 4 degrees compared to the Cryorig A80.
Its idle performance is stronger taking silver medal just behind the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240.
When overclocked, performance by comparison really makes the Dark Rock Pro 4 standout sitting in 3rd place below both the Cryorig A80 and Arctic Liquid Freezer 240.
What’s even more impressive is that whilst managing this extra heat the Dark Rock Pro 4 is the quietest cooler tested. It's closely followed by the MA410M but considering how much more efficient it is at keeping your CPU cool its a clear winner if you are not particularly fussed about RGB lighting and LEDs.
