BeQuiet Dark Rock TF Heatsink Review @ Frostytech

Frostytech brings up a good point in the introduction of their review in that the PC cooling system does require maintenance and traditional aircoolers, heatpipe or otherwise, tend to last longer than any liquid cooler, AIO or otherwise.

On the test bench today we have BeQuiet's Dark Rock TF heatsink - a top-down dual tower heatsink which features a pair of BeQuiet SilentWings fans and stands 130mm tall. The Dark Rock TF heatsink is built around six 6mm diameter heatpipes which link a large primary aluminum fin stack and smaller secondary set of aluminum cooling fins to a chunky copper heatspreader below. The 135mm PWM fans are arranged in a push-pull configuration, exhausting downwards so related motherboard CPU VRM components benefit from the cooling air flow.

I was able to review the beQuiet! Dark Rock TF recently and despite my normal grumblings about the installation method and tight clearances the cooler is actually really good.
