Amazon listing details

Marketplace feature text kept for reference. Structured specifications above are the source for scores and comparisons.

Pure Rock Pro 3 features 6 black high-performance copper heat pipes with nickel-plated base. As a result, this high-end cooler always keeps your CPU at peak performance, even in overclocked systems and demanding workstations.

Pure Wings 3 120mm PWM and Pure Rock Pro 3 are a perfect match. The fan features optimized fan blades for highest performance. The angles are adjusted to achieve even more air pressure, adding up to the extraordinary performance. A specially designed, funnel shaped air outlet is more than just the icing on the cake: it maximizes the airflow over the fins.

Despite being a double-tower air cooler, Pure Rock Pro 3’s compact offset design increase RAM and VRM cooler compatibility significantly. The height of the front fan can be adjusted, if needed.

Installation is easier than ever with the Pure Rock Pro 3. Its mounting kit is self-explanatory and easy to use, making attaching the cooler a breeze. Users of an AM5 CPU by AMD can benefit from an offset mounting to center the base plate above the hot spots of their CPU.

Powerful. Strong. Unshakable. The Pure Rock Pro 3 makes a statement not only in performance, but also in design. We made sure the cooler leaves a lasting impression in your PC. Despite its striking appearance, its lines are discreet, perfectly combining power and elegance.
