be quiet! Dark Rock 6 (BK046) is a processor air cooler for desktop systems on Intel and AMD platforms, designed for cooling high-performance processors in cases with sufficient clearance above the socket. The model supports Intel sockets 1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155 and AMD AM5 and AM4, making it compatible with current and some previous platform generations. The specified thermal design power is 220 W, allowing the cooler to be used in gaming and workstation configurations without switching to liquid cooling. be quiet! Dark Rock 6 (BK046) features an asymmetrical radiator design with cutouts for compatibility with RAM modules and VRM heatsinks. Heat from the processor is transferred through a nickel-plated copper base with CNC machining and six copper heat pipes with 6 mm diameter to an aluminum radiator with ceramic black coating. A single Silent Wings PWM fan in 135 mm format with hydrodynamic bearing, 6-pole motor, 4-pin PWM connector and maximum speed of 2000 RPM handles the airflow. Noise levels are specified as 11.9 dB(A), 23.2 dB(A) and 31.1 dB(A) respectively at 50%, 75% and 100% fan speed. A mode switch allows selection of high-performance mode or quiet semi-passive mode, in which the fan stops below 40% PWM. The cooler dimensions are 102.4 x 139 x 162 mm, with a weight of 1.01 kg. The package includes mounting brackets for Intel and AMD platforms, thermal paste and a screwdriver.
