Be Quiet! has kept the consumer at the center of CES, rolling out a slate of new PC components designed to appeal to mainstream builders. The highlight is the Dark Rock 6 cooler, extending the Dark Rock 5 family with a fresh angular silhouette and semi-passive operation modes intended to reduce noise during light use. The Dark Rock 6 ships with six heat pipes and a single 135 mm Silent Wings fan to move heat away from the processor.
The Dark Rock Pro 6 ups the ante with seven heat pipes and a more aggressive cooling package. The cooler is shown with two Silent Wings fans, though their exact size is not specified in the materials available.
The Light Loop IO LCD option is offered in two radiator sizes, 360 mm and 240 mm, and comes in black or white finishes. Price information was not disclosed in the initial CES brief.
On the power side, Be Quiet! introduced two new power supplies: Power Zone 2 1200 W and Pure Power 13 M 1200 W. The Power Zone 2 is platinum-rated by Cybenetics and 80 Plus certified, while Pure Power 13 M carries 80 Plus Gold. Both units support ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1.
Beyond Be Quiet!, CES coverage flagged other notes of interest: Asus has ROG products in collaboration with Kojima, including a case featuring holographic fans. PNY introduced dual-slot graphics cards, and Gigabyte is pushing a chunky RTX 5090.
