Be Quiet Dark Rock 6 and Dark Rock Pro 6 review
Be Quiet has released two new high-end CPU coolers—the Dark Rock 6 and Dark Rock Pro 6—that represent significant performance improvements over the manufacturer’s previous air cooling solutions. According to PC Gamer’s testing, both models rank among the top-performing air coolers currently available, marking a notable step forward for Be Quiet, which previously struggled to compete with market-leading options in this category.
Beyond raw performance metrics, the coolers feature a refined all-black aesthetic design that improves upon previous generations. The manufacturer has maintained its reputation for visual appeal while successfully integrating high-performance cooling into an imposing aluminum design. Installation is noted as straightforward and user-friendly, adding to the overall appeal of these products.
However, the most significant drawback is pricing. Both coolers carry premium price tags—$110 for the standard Dark Rock 6 and $130 for the Dark Rock Pro 6—which places them among the most expensive air cooling options available. This high cost may prove prohibitive for budget-conscious consumers, even those seeking top-tier performance and aesthetics in their builds.
