be quiet! Pure Rock 3 Black CPU Cooler - Compact High-Performance Air Cooling

The be quiet! Pure Rock 3 Black delivers exceptional cooling performance in a compact tower design. Engineered with four 6mm copper heat pipes utilizing HDT (Heat pipe Direct Touch) technology, this air cooler handles up to 190W TDP, making it suitable for modern Intel and AMD processors including the latest LGA 1851, LGA 1700, AM5, and AM4 sockets.

Advanced Heat Dissipation Technology

The Pure Rock 3 features four black high-performance 6mm heat pipes with direct touch technology for maximum thermal transfer efficiency. The aluminum fin stack with electrophoresis surface treatment measures 124mm in height and 154mm in depth, providing substantial cooling surface area while maintaining a compact 71mm width for excellent RAM and VRM cooler compatibility.

Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM Fan Performance

Equipped with an optimized Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM fan featuring a funnel-shaped air outlet design, this cooler delivers 59.6 CFM (101.2 m³/h) airflow at 2000 RPM maximum speed. The 4-pole rifle bearing motor operates at just 12.4 dB(A) at minimum speed, scaling to only 31.2 dB(A) at full load. With an 80,000-hour lifespan rating and 2.41mm H2O static pressure, the fan ensures reliable long-term operation.

Universal Socket Compatibility

The preinstalled mounting bridge system provides tool-free installation across Intel sockets 1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, and 1155, plus AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. The offset mounting design optimizes heat pipe contact on latest AMD Ryzen CPUs for improved thermal performance. Thermal paste comes pre-applied for immediate installation.

Compact Design with Maximum Compatibility

At just 71mm width, the Pure Rock 3 Black ensures clearance for tall RAM modules and motherboard VRM heatsinks. Total cooler dimensions of 124 x 154mm (W x H) with the fan mounted fit standard ATX cases while the 0.57kg weight puts minimal stress on motherboard mounting points. The all-black finish complements modern system aesthetics.
