At Computex 2025, be quiet! showcased a range of new products, including the Pure Loop 3 LX and Pure Loop 3 AiO water coolers, the Pure Power 13 M power supply series, and the Dark Perk Ergo and Sym mice. While these offerings continue the company’s tradition of combining performance with low noise, they largely represent incremental updates rather than groundbreaking innovations.
Cooling Solutions: Familiar Territory
The Pure Loop 3 LX AiO cooler features a 6-pole motor pump, ARGB lighting, and customizable foil covers. It also includes Light Wings LX high-speed fans and supports the latest Intel and AMD sockets. The Pure Loop 3 offers similar features with Pure Wings 3 PWM high-speed fans. These enhancements, while useful, are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
Power Supply: Meeting Standards
The Pure Power 13 M series brings Intel ATX 3.1 compliance and native PCIe 5.1 connectors, available in capacities from 550W to 1000W. With 80 PLUS® Gold and Cybenetics Gold efficiency ratings and a 10-year warranty, these PSUs align with current industry standards but don’t push the envelope.
Peripherals: Entering a Crowded Market
The Dark Perk Ergo and Sym mice are lightweight at 55g, offer up to 8000 Hz polling rates, and feature 32,000 DPI sensors. While impressive on paper, these specifications are becoming standard in the competitive gaming peripheral market. The Dark Mount and Light Mount mechanical keyboards, with silent switches and RGB illumination, also enter a saturated field.
Design Concepts: Aesthetic Enhancements
The Project Light Base Stand introduces a new orientation option for the Light Base 900 FX chassis, tilting the case to showcase internal components. This design choice enhances visual appeal but doesn’t offer functional improvements.
be quiet!’s Computex 2025 lineup reinforces its commitment to quiet, efficient PC components. However, the lack of groundbreaking features or innovations suggests a focus on refinement over reinvention. In a rapidly evolving tech landscape, such an approach may not suffice to capture the attention of enthusiasts seeking the next big thing.
