Cooling Be Quiet Dark Rock pro installation?

Hey guys,

quick question, when installing the be quiet dark rock pro there is plastic on the back plate, should this be removed or not?


Stupid question i know but i just want to get it right

Hi,

Not sure what you mean, but I can't remember there being any plastic cover on mine - could you take a picture of it?

 

The protective film on the contact plate has to be removed first.

 

I will take a picture when i get home, its on the back plate (not the contact plate) has a plastic square in the middle, easily removed but not sure if it should be? and is surrounded by plastic on top of the back plate spongey bit

 

I saw a review of the Dark Rock on youtube that claimed that the contact plate is often not entirely flat and requires additional finishing prior to installation, resulting in a difference in temps of almost -10C.

Can anyone confirm or deny this because I'm about to buy one and it seems a massive hassle for the sake of a few quid...?
