IMHO, BQ Coolers/PSUs are fantastic! Anyone building a new system should seriously consider their hardware for their rig whether it's IVB or SNB... Indeed, their hardware may be at the "premium" end, though it should still be considered for quality & silence - for an extra ~£25 or so (depending on alternatives) in your rig is well worth it in my book.

Can't wait for the Hexus review, great going!

I have been looking at getting a dark rock pro for a while so depending on reviews this has come at a good time.

Link gives a 404 in my iPhone, browsing via the main page it works though?

That's one meaty cooler

Hmm, fixed

How come they had to switch away from the rubber fan mounts they used on the Dark Rock Advanced with the Dark Rock 2, is it the bigger fan size? The reason I ask is it seems the single tower version is more suited to mATX boards where the protruding fan clips could pose a risk to GPUs in the top slot, something the rubber mounts avoided.

These are good looking coolers, I'm just not keen on the idea of 1kg of metal being stuck to my mobo. When will BQ release an AIO system?

When will we see the review on this guys? Very interested!

I bought one of these per the rig in my spec.
Idles at <25C Prime95 100% load 54C
Quiet too.

Was that an upgrade to an existing cooler? If it is it would be great to know how that compares to your previous cooler.

Sorry. I bought it together with the other parts on the basis of their reputation. I've not been disappointed.
From my research those are very good temps @ 4.4Ghz
