be quiet! Dark Rock 6 and Dark Rock Pro 6 launch this month

The be quiet! Dark Rock series has been legendary for more than a decade at this point. This month, they are launching their best version yet, the new Dark Rock Pro 6 and the Dark Rock 6, featuring an all-new design to deliver as much cooling performance as possible.

The Dark Rock Pro 6 is aimed at heavily overclocked systems and demanding workstations. Compared to its predecessor, it features an optimised heatsink, seven heatpipes, two custom-designed Silent Wings fans, and an extended feature set that includes a hardware switch to toggle between performance and a semi-passive quiet modes. The custom Silent Wings fans offer different sizes, one 135mm one and one 120mm one, mounted on a height-adjustable rail system to avoid issues with RAM and motherboard VRM compatibility.

The standard Dark Rock 6 ships with just the 135mm Silent Wings fan and one less heatpipe, bringing the total count to six heatpipes. While it has one less fan, a smaller heatsink and one less heatpipe, the standard version of the cooler does still pack the hardware switch, allowing users to toggle between semi-passive and performance fan profiles.

Both the Dark Rock 6 and its Pro sibling will be available later this month, priced at £64.99 for the standard model and £79.99 for the Pro.
