This is the slightly smaller brother of the Dark Rock Pro 4. It's a little simpler with only one fan and a single heat sink rather than two, and comes in at about $20 less. Still a very capable CPU cooler and looks pretty good to boot. It's also very, very quiet - quieter than Noctua coolers like the NH-D15, although the cooling isn't quite as good.

This price is about $7 below RRP, but the real deal here is that it's a) in stock and b) in stock somewhere with free shipping (with Prime obviously). As far as I can tell, only Scorptec and PCCG have this in stock locally, and both charge at least $14 for shipping.

Virtually inaudible Silent Wings 135mm PWM fan
Achieves only 21.4dB(A) at maximum fan speed
Six high-performance copper heat pipes
Airflow-optimized, wave-contoured cooling fins
Easily installable black installation kit can be mounted from above
Supports an additional 120mm fan; clips are included in scope of delivery

Mod Update 12/10: Price has decreased to $109.09

  not worth it - pro 4 much better

    The Pro 4's currently at least $30-40 more expensive at the moment.

    EDIT: It's probably also worth noting that various reviews show only a 1-3 degree difference under load between the 4 and the Pro 4, so I wouldn't say the Pro 4 is 'much' better, although it is demonstrably better. That said, the 4 is slightly quieter than the Pro 4.

      The Noctua NH-D15 or NH-D15S would be the play then.

        Definitely. For me, I've got a 3600 and the D-15 is a bit overkill and doesn't match my all black aesthetic, although you could jump for the chromax version which I believe is sitting at about $175 at the moment. D-15 is also a bit louder, although it probably wouldn't be noticeable.

          @Bog: Yup, and this is a cooler that you should be able to move from system to system, just need to update the bracket.

  $7 below RRP?

  (Other than this and the Noctua NH-U12S) Is their any alternative decent 'slim' air-cooler for a Ryzen 7 3700x or upcoming 4700x CPU?

  Edit: How about the be quiet! Pure Rock 2? Will be slim enough and decent to cool down the above CPUs?

    You could also look at the Dark Rock Slim, which I saw the other day for $89. I feel like it really depends on how much overclocking (if any) you'll be doing. Honestly all of these coolers are a bit overkill for stock Ryzens but I just got one for the looks and the quietness. I was a bit sick of my Ryzen spooling the fan up every few seconds.

      Thanks, yeah I won't be overclocking the CPU. Still in the market for either a 3600XT/3700x/3800x or upcoming 4600x/4700x
      Preferring quiet cooler plus black colour if possible (planning to build a all black no RGB sytstem)

      I'm looking at replacing the stock cooler on my Ryzen 3600 for the same reason (fan spooling). Deciding between the Dark Rock Slim and the Shadow Rock 3.
