be quiet! has announced a couple of new products - one is the Dark Power 14 PSU series, and another one is the Pure Rock Slim 3 PC air cooler.
For the Dark Power 14 series, this is one of the flagship offerings through its 80 PLUS Titanium and Cybenetics Titanium1 certification, boasting energy efficiency of up to 95.57%. It uses Full Bridge + Synchronous Rectifier + LLC technology, paired with premium Japanese capacitors rated at 105°C, ensuring stable power delivery and long-term reliability.
The PSU features an advanced semi-passive cooling system with a newly developed aluminum heat sink and an integrated Silent Wings fan, which only activates when necessary. Users can toggle between balanced active and semi-passive cooling via a button on the rear panel.
Supporting ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1, the Dark Power 14 includes up to two 12V-2x6 and four PCIe 6+2-pin connectors, offering seamless compatibility with next-generation GPUs. It also supports both single-rail and multi-rail modes, allowing users to easily switch for advanced overclocking control.
The PSU’s fully modular design with sleeved cables enhances airflow and simplifies installation, while robust protections against electrical faults ensure stability under heavy loads.
Meanwhile, the Pure Rock Slim 3 is ideally made for compact gaming rigs and quiet multimedia systems thanks to the slim, asymmetrical tower structure with efficient heat dissipation. Other than that, it maintains full RAM clearance as well as being packed with AMD and Intel frames and uses minimal screws for quick and secure installation. Underneath, three nickel-plated 6mm heat pipes with direct-touch technology efficiently transfer heat to the fin stack, supporting up to 130W TDP for entry-level gaming and multimedia workloads.
Meanwhile, the 100mm PWM fan from be quiet! handles cooling duties, producing a maximum noise level of only 24.8 dBA. Users can fine-tune fan speeds via PWM control to balance airflow and acoustics. The cooler also sports a sleek two-tone top in matte black and gunmetal grey, giving it a subtle yet premium look.
