Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU Cooler
The Dark Rock Pro 4 is a powerful cooler, easily able to match performance to match many AIO 240mm liquid coolers. The core benefit is obviously fewer points of potential failure, and more piece of mind during prolonged operation. Overall this is a really good cooler if you are looking to build a more subdued aesthetic high-performance system.
