be quiet! Unveils Dark Rock Pro 6 & Dark Rock 6

be quiet! is rolling out the next generation of its flagship air coolers, and both models land exactly where high‑end builders want them: more performance, better compatibility, and quieter operation than ever.

The new Dark Rock Pro 6 and Dark Rock 6 bring redesigned heat sinks, upgraded high‑performance heat pipes, and a smarter feature set aimed at overclocked systems, high‑end workstations, and anyone chasing near‑silent operation.

Dark Rock Pro 6 — Big Cooling, Low Noise, Zero Drama

The Dark Rock Pro 6 is built for heavy lifting — think overclocked CPUs, workstation loads, and long render sessions. be quiet! reworked the heat sink, added seven optimized heat pipes, and paired them with two custom Silent Wings fans (135mm + 120mm) tuned for airflow without the noise.

A new hardware switch lets you choose between full performance or a semi‑passive mode that completely stops the fans at up to 40% PWM. When your system is idle or lightly loaded, the cooler is literally silent.

Other standout upgrades:

• Height‑adjustable front fan with a rail system for better RAM clearance
• Heat sink cut‑outs for improved VRM compatibility
• Streamlined mounting system
• Ceramic‑particle black coating and a brushed aluminum top cover
• Nickel‑plated base for liquid metal compatibility
• Backed by a 3‑year warranty

This is the kind of cooler you drop into a high‑end build when you want brute‑force cooling without turning your PC into a wind tunnel.

Dark Rock 6 — Compact, Quiet, and Surprisingly Capable

The Dark Rock 6 replaces both the Dark Rock Slim and Dark Rock 5, and it’s a smart middle‑ground option for high‑end gaming rigs and compact performance builds.

It features:

• A redesigned heat sink
• Six optimized heat pipes
• A custom 135mm Silent Wings fan
• The same performance/semi‑passive hardware switch as the Pro model

The asymmetrical layout and heat sink cut‑outs give it excellent RAM and VRM clearance, making it a strong fit for tighter cases or motherboards with tall modules.

Like the Pro, it includes:

• Fan rail system
• Ceramic‑particle black coating
• Magnetic top cover with brushed aluminum badge
• Nickel‑plated base for liquid metal
• 3‑year warranty

If you want premium cooling without the footprint of a dual‑tower cooler, this is the one to watch.
