Consumer Electronics Show 2015 beQuiet Visit

Our first visit during the CES week was with beQuiet and they used their presentation suite to show off some new products that are available for your cooling and computer containment needs.  They started the tour talking about some of the new power supplies and quickly moved to their first ever chassis design.  We saw a development version of this case at Computex 2014 and aside from some new color choices the design remains almost unchanged. 

Inside the case the drive cages are removable and can even migrate up into the existing 5.25” drive bays if you happen to be without an external optical drive.  They have also color matched the wire grommets to help add style and uniqueness to the chassis.

beQuiet is all about making things efficient and to help reduce noise emissions from inside the case they have lined all of the panels with sound absorbent foam and covered the fans with a baffle to help block noise from directly escaping. 

A new cooler they were showing is the Dark Rock TF which is a dual tower cooler that has been folded over.  You have a choice of how many fans you run and while the upper radiator comes with six heatpipes only four of them pass thru the heatspreader and into the lower tower.   

Capacity should be really good with this heatsink given the amount of surface area and general design.
