Overall Performance
To calculate each cooler’s overall performance, I take into account three factors, the CPU’s temperature, wattage, and frequency, by using the following equation:
(Wattage / Temperature) x Frequency
Each chart shows the cooler under test as 100% and every other product’s performance as relative to it.
Relative performance is notably higher than the Dark Rock Pro 5. It still loses to the Noctua NH-D15, but the performance gap is smaller.
Performance Per Price
The high price doesn’t help in these charts, especially since the NH-D15 chromax. black is only five euros more expensive.

“I switched the AIO on my main work PC with an air-cooler, and the only thing I have to do from time to time is to clean the heatsink from dust”
What’s your air cooler these days? What CPU is it cooling, in what PC case?
Nevermind. I assume it is the Noctua NH-D15, as it is the one that cools the most Watts per dB(A). All this for a cooler released almost a decade ago!
