Tom's Hardware's boots on the ground at CES have yielded an impressive amount of information, and the latest batch comes from the stand of German silence engineers Be Quiet. The company has finally pulled back the curtain on multiple new products and revisions of existing gear. The stars of the show are the Light Loop AIO and Dark Perk mice, arriving with the Dark Rock 6 / Pro 6 coolers, and PowerZone 2 and PurePower 13 M 1,200 W power supplies as entourage.

The display is a 2.1" unit that's capable of 500 nits of brightness, and the spinners on the radiator are 120-mm Light Wings LX PWM units. Be Quiet claims the jet plate and cold plate are bespoke designs, too. The Light Loop will be available on the 14th of April, in black or white colorways. The price is 205 € for the 240 mm and 235 € for the 360 mm variant. Taking away VAT and doing currency conversion, that should be roughly $201 and $231, respectively.

The Dark Perk mouse has been quite a while in the making. It was originally announced at CES 2025 and has finally arrived. Be Quiet says it spent this while tuning the mouse, particularly the battery life for the wireless version. There are two ergonomic takes on the Dark Perk: the standard right-handed Ergo, and the ambidextrous Sym.

Inside, the rodent contains a PixArt PAW3950 sensor capable of reading 32,000 DPI and polling information at a rate of 8 KHz. The switches underneath the main buttons are Omron optical units, and the corded version has an angled cable to avoid snagging. The base weight is a mere 55 g (1.94 oz). Bequiet says the wireless version should be good for 110 hours of gaming. Expect these on February 3rd.

Next up, we have the Dark Rock 6 and Pro 6 coolers. The standard model has six heatpipes and one 135-mm Silent Wings fan, while the Pro 6 variant has two Silent Wings spinners and seven heatpipes. You'll be able to get these on the 19th of May.

Additionally, Be Quiet showed off a prototype of a Dark Rock cooler with a customizable LCD display, the Dark Rock Pro 6 IO LCD. The screen measures 4.5" across and will have the same wide-ranging customization options available as the Light Loop IO. There's no set release date, but the German makers expect to deliver this upmarket variation in the second half of 2026.

Last but by no means least, there are now 1,200 W versions of both the Power Zone 2 and Pure Power 13 M PSUs. The Power Zone 2 is primed for efficiency, carrying both an 80 Plus Platinum badge and a highly demanding Cybenetics Platinum certification. The fan inside is a custom 140 mm Pure Wings 3 model. This power supply is ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant and comes with a 90° angled 12V-2x6 connector. This model will arrive on the 27th of January-

As for the Pure Power 13 M, it has an 80 Plus Gold efficiency logo (up to 93.5%), and is likewise compatible with ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1. Both models use LLC topology, and their voltage regulation should be able to take spikes up to twice their rated power, making these a safe bet for RTX 5090 graphics cards that tend to draw power in quick, high-amplitude bursts. Be Quiet says this version will be in stores on the 10th of February.

Oh, and do check out the gallery below for the full-sized versions. There's a Pretzel PC in there, and yes, it was tasty.

    I'm going to upgrade my bequiet! DarkBase 900 to The DarkBase Pro 901. I contacted Bequiet! and I got a confirmation that it was possible to order the right side panel. I don't like glass panels and wanted a solid one for the left side. The case would cost around 300 Euros, including the extra side panel. When I make the switch, I'll also be repasting the CPU and adding an extra 2 TB SSD.
