be quiet! attacks on many fronts. Silence, quality and efficiency
This week, CES 2026, one of the largest events in the world of new technologies, took place in Las Vegas, USA. Among the exhibitors was be quiet!, a premium German manufacturer known for its very solid and quiet computer components. They showed a number of interesting products for this year.
After advanced keyboards, it’s time for mice
Strong emphasis was placed on processor cooling systems. We received both the AiO set in the form of be quiet! Light Loop IO LCD as well as traditional tower coolers – be quiet! Dark Rock 6 and Dark Rock Pro 6 (IO LCD). They will support newer and older AMD and Intel processors, including the yet unreleased Nova Lake series for the LGA 1954 socket.
In the first case, in addition to top performance and work culture, the focus was on rich ARGB LED backlight and a 2.1″ screen built into the block-pump with a brightness of 500 nits. It allows you to display PC parameters, but also your own images and animations. Here we get be quiet! Light Wings LX PWM fans, and there will be two variants to choose from – 240 and 360 mm in white and black colors. They are priced at 205 and 235 euros, i.e. approximately PLN 865 and 989.
be quiet! Dark Rock 6 and Dark Rock Pro 6 are options for people who don’t like lights. We are talking about a completely black color scheme, although we do not yet know the dimensions and weight of both models. However, we know that the first one is equipped with 6 heat pipes and one 135-mm fan from the Silent Wings series, while the second one has 7 heat pipes and two fans. Their premiere is planned for May 19.
Interestingly, the be quiet! prototype was also shown. Dark Rock Pro 6 IO LCD, a version with a 4.5-inch display that allows you to display almost anything. However, the premiere will not take place earlier than in the second half of 2026, and the price has not yet been determined.
In addition, the Germans will expand the Power Zone 2 and Pure Power 12 M power supply families with 1200 W versions. The first PSU will offer an 80 PLUS Platinum efficiency certificate, while the second one will offer an 80 PLUS Gold efficiency certificate. There are also plans for a wireless and lightweight Dark Perk Ergo mouse, but almost nothing has been said about it.
