Dark Rock Pro 2 is presented in a very professional looking box. As is common with CPU coolers, the packaging features a listing of the technical specifications on the sides whilst the back shows the feature-set in more detail with illustration. Inside, the heatsink is well protected with Styrofoam padding – the fans already attached and the mounting kit within a cardboard box.



Bundled with the Dark Rock Pro 2 are various mounting kits to suit a variety of sockets which include: Intel: LGA 775 / LGA 1155 / LGA 1156 / LGA 1366 / LGA 2011 AMD: FM1, AM2 (+) / AM3 (+) / 754/ 939 / 940. Also included is the instructions leaflet for guidance when installing, a backplate and thermal paste. The guidance leaflet is quite brief but still useful when installing Dark Rock Pro 2.



Also bundled with Dark Rock Pro 2 are two SilentWings cooling fans. These are 120mm and 135mm in dimension and come attached to the heatsink already – with fan clips applied. Both fans have seven blades with a ribbed design and use a Fluid Dynamic Bearing. Although both fans are PWM, they have a differing maximum speed. The 120mm is capable of up to 1700RPM whilst the 135mm up to 1500RPM. A Y-cable is provided so that both fans can run from just one fan header on the motherboard, both have 4-pin PWM connectors.

The 135mm cooling fan fits between the two radiators whilst the 120mm fits onto the outer radiator.
