Today we are looking at the latest Dark Rock 2. While we recently tested the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 this is very much the big brother of the Dark Rock 2 and has a design similar to that of the Noctua NH-D14 in regards to the dual heatsink design. The new and improved Dark Rock 2 is based around the Dark Rock Advanced CPU cooler, which was a single heatsink design.
The Be Quiet! Dark Rock Advanced CPU cooler was a very popular model as it combined decent thermal performance with very low noise emissions.
It also helped that the price point was very aggressive. The Dark Rock Version 2 that we are testing today features a larger 135mm fan as well as a more substantial heatsink.

Excellent, looks nice too. Only complaint I would have, is at £50 why not two fans? I know they cost a little more than normal fans, but the company could have dominated this price sector with a dual fan cooler. even with one is pretty much almost leading.
I love the appearance of everything they make, its like corsair equipment, always exudes class from first viewing.
fab.
