With its stylish and functional black design, high quality materials and construction, solid thermals, and excellent noise performance, the be quiet! Dark Rock Slim is a great slim tower CPU cooler option. At its $59.90 list price it is quite a bit more e...
Excellent Build Quality, Zero Clearance Compact Design, Near Excellent Cooling Efficiency, Very Low Noise Levels, Easy Installation, Price (For Some),
Current Availability,
Testing the Dark Rock Slim proved quite difficult since we had to repeat all our tests a 2nd time not only because we didn't expect it to perform the way it did but also because its fan turned out to be even quieter compared to the fan used in t...

Abstract: Lots of people are starting to step away from Air coolers these days, myself included. With numerous All in One liquid coolers on the market, it's hard to stay away from the performance they have to provide and let's not forget the RGB. But Air cooling is...
The new 'SLIM' model in the Dark Rock series does not offer 'uber performance' (to use German superlatives here) when it comes to cooling, it's, however, more than adequate and even when you overclock your processor it'll manage to stay on top of things...
Solid performance, Perfect socket clearance, Whisper quiet, Easy to install, Good build quality, No RGB will appeal to some, Solid warranty

Be Quiet's Dark Rock Slim is a tiny powerhouse. There are plenty of compact tower air coolers out there, but the majority are only good enough for daily use for the average user. The Dark Rock Slim on the other hand easily kept pace with our higher end i9...
Almost silent in operation, even at full load, The clean, all black aesthetic looks great, Additional accessories like extra fan mounts are always welcome, Great support for even high profile memory modules
Not the best in terms of raw thermal performance at this price point, Installation is a little fiddly
Overall, with the be quiet! Dark Rock Slim unboxed and in the hand, it's a pretty impressive piece of kit. There's no corners cut when it comes to build quality, and it feels just as good as other be quiet! coolers like the Dark Rock Pro. It's clearly wel...
Very quiet during use, Slim, well-built form factor, Good cooling performance, Provides ample clearance for memory, Straightforward installation
Measly amount of thermal paste
be quiet!'s Dark Rock series of CPU coolers has improved over time. Thanks to incremental upgrades over the years, the current crop benefits from simplified mounting kits, ultra-quiet fans, improved performance and a stylish aesthetic that makes rival coo...

None, Neutral, The installation is a little bit fiddly and the manual could be better, be quiet! Dark Rock Slim Cooler Review,
If you're looking for an exceptionally strong and quiet cooling solution for your PC on a budget, then the be quiet! Dark Rock Slim is certainly one to consider. Perhaps most surprisingly, it's not a brand I would usually associate with the word ‘budget'...
